On June 24, we should all be at the campground

Why does Saint-Jean-Baptiste taste even better around a real campfire beside your RV?

There’s something special in the air on the evening of June 24. A lightness. A moment where people slow down, light a fire, and laugh a little louder than usual. It’s the National Holiday, yes—but more than that, it’s the time of year when Quebecers finally feel that summer has truly arrived.

Now imagine that same evening… but at the campground. Your RV has been set up since the afternoon, the chairs are out, and the fire is just starting to crackle while the kids are still playing in the long evening light. The beer is cold, music drifts gently through the air, and nobody is watching the clock. Because tomorrow morning, you’re still there. No rush. Just time to enjoy.

That’s what Saint-Jean feels like in a travel trailer.

What makes this holiday so beautiful is how little it takes for it to feel perfect. A real wood fire—not just a stove ring, but a fire that crackles, warms, and sets the mood. At the campground, with a well-set park model trailer, you get that luxury. You can enjoy the fire as long as you want—until midnight, until the kids fall asleep in someone’s arms, until conversations stretch out and adults finally take the time to share things they haven’t talked about in too long.

And on the night of June 24, far from city lights, the sky completely changes the atmosphere. We forget how many stars you can see when you get away from Montréal or Québec City. Kids seeing it for the first time often go quiet, completely fascinated, not sure what to say. Adults find themselves looking up longer than expected too. These kinds of memories don’t just stay in the moment—they stay with us. We bring them home, and they come back to us years later.

The end of the school year also falls right around the same time, which is no coincidence. The mix of National Holiday and the start of summer break creates a special energy: kids are overflowing with excitement, parents finally get to breathe a little, and everyone wants to mark the moment in their own way. Going camping that weekend turns two events into one big kickoff to summer. That’s really when the season begins.

For those camping in a four-season park model trailer, this long June weekend is made for it. These units are built for moments like this: comfort, space for the family, and strong insulation when the night gets a little cool. It’s far from the days when camping meant shivering in a tent all night.

If you’re thinking about getting started this year, now is the time to act. Not after Saint-Jean, not in August when most of the summer is already gone—now. Because RVs for sale in Quebec don’t stay on the market long during the season, and the best ones go even faster.

Many families come to us after spending a long time browsing online listings—used trailers for sale here, RVs for sale there—without really knowing what to choose or having someone to guide them. At Roulottes Rémillard, a well-established RV dealership in Quebec, we take the time to understand how you like to camp before suggesting anything.

We offer new trailers, carefully inspected used RVs, and luxury park models that turn a campsite into a real cottage on wheels. There’s something for every budget, every style, and every way of enjoying summer.

And if your current trailer needs a check-up before the big trip, stop by our parts and service department. Our team will be happy to make sure everything is ready so you can leave with peace of mind.

And this year, on June 24, be at the campground.
