The best thing about it is that most of these breathtaking parks are max 10 hours away from Montreal. This makes them super accessible for us to get to. All you need to do is invite your closest friend with a car, so they can drive you of course, make a bomb roadtrip playlist, grab some snacks from the closest Couche-Tard and you're good to go! Make sure you pack the camping essentials like a hammock, flashlights and don't forget all the trimmings for S'mores and ghost story telling in the evenings. Make the most out of this summer by reconnecting with nature, bonding with your closest friends, and making unforgettable memories.
