Camping de l'Île-Melville sits on a small island along the Saint-Maurice River, just minutes from downtown Shawinigan.

The campground offers 146 sites — with or without services — suited to RVs, tents, and motorized units, with options ranging from riverside and forested settings to semi-wooded plots.

A paved main road runs through the property, and a forest hiking trail winds through the campground to a lookout belvedere. At the island's tip, a riverside park provides a quiet spot to take in the scenery.

The surrounding Parc de l'Île-Melville also features canoe rentals, biking paths, and an aerial zipline course, with winter activities available in the broader park. Camping de l'Île-Melville is a member of Camping Québec.
