Loud Noise - disturbing other persons
Be considerate. Please keep the volume of your music, voices and other noises
to a reasonable level. Interfering with anyone else's use or enjoyment of
a park, day or night, is not only inconsiderate - it is also contrary to park
regulations. Quiet hours are enforced 24 hours a day.
Alcoholic Beverages
Most campgrounds operated by the Parks of the St. Lawrence permit the drinking
of beer, wine and other spirits , but only on a registered campsite. Drinking,
or the possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in any other park area
is against the law.
Note: You should check with your campground for the dates and parks affected
by any alcohol bans.

You must have a permit to camp or use your vehicle in the Parks of the St. Lawrence.
A Camping Permit authorizes one vehicle and up to three pieces of shelter equipment

be used in combination with two other pieces of shelter equipment, i.e. tent, dining
shelter or tarp.

length of stay. DO NOT set up camp until your permits have been confirmed and physically
changed by the Gate staff.
