What Camping Paradis does

Camping Paradis is a privately-held family camping resort located at 161 Chemin Paradis in Saint-Félix-de-Valois, Quebec, Canada, operating under Quebec enterprise registration ENR. 203814. The business was founded around 2013 and is built around a heated wave pool (Piscine à vagues) inaugurated in August 2013, which functions as the property's flagship differentiator and primary draw for both overnight guests and day visitors. The resort also maintains an extensive activity surface — including heated water games, mini-golf, tennis, pickleball, deck hockey, basketball, a jumping pillow, an 18-foot covered play structure, hiking trails, trout fishing, train rides, themed events, youth animation, and an RC car racing track — positioning it as a four-season family destination.

The business operates four core revenue streams: (1) campsite fees on RV and tent sites with tiered service levels (no-service through 50-amp three-service) priced at CAD $41–$76/night depending on season and services, (2) Prêt-à-Camper trailer rentals (4 units — three standard and one chalet-style) priced at CAD $1,080–$1,285/week, (3) day-visitor wave-pool access priced at CAD $5.75–$14.75 by age and weekday/weekend, and (4) annual season passes in two tiers (terrain-only and terrain+pool) priced at CAD $93.50–$653.25 per family. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone reservations (450-889-2512), the website campingparadis.ca, and the third-party reservation platform reservationpleinair.ca (online booking launched for the 2025/2026 season), with marketing concentrated on Facebook, Instagram, and seasonal promotional campaigns. Customer segments include families with children (primary), RV/tent campers, and day visitors — all served through the single Saint-Félix-de-Valois site with no channel partners or geographic distribution beyond Quebec.

Broad incumbents

• SÉPAQ (Société des établissements de plein air du Québec): Provincial agency operating 46+ parks with campgrounds across Quebec. Competes with Camping Paradis for Quebec family outdoor-recreation dollars, though SÉPAQ's sites are public-sector and generally lack developed water-park amenities.
• KOA (Kampgrounds of America): North America's largest campground franchise network with hundreds of locations including many with pools, RV sites, and cabin/trailer rentals. Camping Paradis competes for the same family-RV demographic with a similar amenity-driven model, but at a single independent site versus KOA's multi-property scale.
• Campgrounds of America Canada / Camping Québec affiliates: Quebec campground association and member network aggregating family campgrounds across the province. Represents the broader competitive set Camping Paradis operates within for Quebec family-camping mindshare.
• Sun Retreats (formerly Outdoor World / Petro-Canada Travel Stops campgrounds): Multi-property North American campground/RV resort network with pools, rental units, and family amenities. Broadly comparable operating model to Camping Paradis but at corporate scale across many U.S. and Canadian sites.

Others

• Great Canadian Holiday Resort Co. RV rental and campground operator in Quebec that overlaps with Camping Paradis's Prêt-à-Camper RV rental and family RV-camping segments, though without the integrated water park component.

Regional players

• Centre de villégiature Jouvence: Family resort in the Eastern Townships of Quebec offering accommodations, lake activities, and recreation programming. Comparable Quebec family destination positioning, though heavier on indoor/retreat offerings versus Camping Paradis's campground + water park model.
• Parc national d'Aigles: Smaller Quebec provincial park option drawing on the same Quebec family outdoor audience within driving distance of Saint-Félix-de-Valois.
• Parc national du Mont-Tremblant (SÉPAQ): Quebec's flagship provincial park with extensive campgrounds, lakes, and family recreation within driving distance of Saint-Félix-de-Valois. Represents the closest large-scale outdoor recreation competitor in the same regional market.

Emerging players

• Parc aquatique (Quebec water parks): Independent Quebec water parks serving the day-visitor pool segment that Camping Paradis monetizes. These venues compete specifically for day-trip family recreation spend that the Piscine à vagues targets.

Direct peers

• Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts: Franchised family camp-resort chain featuring water parks (pools, splash pads), RV sites, cabin rentals, and extensive recreation programming (mini-golf, themed events). Closest direct comparable to Camping Paradis's pool-plus-activities-plus-rentals positioning.
