Discover Pourvoirie Camp Cooper

The outfitter

Pourvoirie Camp Cooper occupies a former Canadian International Paper logging camp, converted into an outfitter in the 1990s, deep in the Laurentian plateau in the remote region south of Chibougamau. Countless rivers feed its lakes, known for an abundance of northern pike (up to 35 lb) and giant walleye (yellow walleye and blue walleye, over 15 lb). In spring, its black-bear hunt is well regarded, with bears regularly over 350 lb. The area also offers small-game hunting — hare, partridge, spruce grouse and, occasionally, woodcock — along abandoned trails and quiet logging roads, ideal terrain for ATV/quad enthusiasts. Lodging consists

of a central pavilion housing the kitchen, the restaurant dining room and 20 guest rooms, plus 6 fully equipped houses (8-foot cellar, central heating, kitchen, bathroom with shower, hot water, 24-hour solar electricity, fridge, stove, dishes); five hold 4 to 8 people and the largest up to 18, ideal for large groups. No minimum is required to book a cabin. The outfitter also serves as a relay stop for ATV riders (gas, convenience store, meals and overnight stay).

Its story

Originally, the Camp Cooper site was a logging camp belonging to the Canadian International Paper company. Established on the shores of Lake Ventadour, in the James Bay sector and on the borders of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, this timber industry complex served forestry workers operating in this remote region of the Laurentian Plateau. In the 1990s, the facilities were converted to create the Camp Cooper outfitter. This transformation of the historic site relied on the logging camp's existing infrastructure. The original buildings that once served the workers were adapted to welcome hunters and sport anglers. Today, the footprint of this forestry past remains

visible in the layout of the estate and the naming of the accommodations. The complex includes a main lodge as well as several traditional buildings recalling the timber trades, such as the Superintendent’s house, the Log Driver’s house, and the Lumberjack’s house. Located near the Ashuapmushan Wildlife Reserve, the outfitter continues its vocation of hospitality in the heart of the wilderness.

The territory is situated in the immediate vicinity of the Ashuapmushuan wildlife reserve, in the Chibougamau area. As the crow flies, the site is about 350 kilometres north of Montréal. By car, the driving time is estimated at about 7 hours and a half from Montréal and 5 hours from Québec City. Road access is via route 167 North toward Chibougamau up to kilometre 84.

A network of countless rivers feeds a multitude of wild, unstocked lakes spread out around the main camp. This remote region is also crisscrossed by old, abandoned trails and little-used forest roads, offering terrain well suited for getting around by ATV or all-terrain vehicle.

Wildlife and habitat

Pourvoirie Camp Cooper is located on the shores of Lake Ventadour, in the heart of the Laurentian Plateau, near the Ashuapmushan Wildlife Reserve. This wild and remote territory is crisscrossed by a vast network of rivers feeding numerous lakes spread across wildlife management zones 14, 16, 17, and 28. The boreal environment provides a preserved habitat for a wide variety of terrestrial and aquatic species. The area's bodies of water are 100% pristine and are never stocked. The outfitter applies rigorous management of the fishery resource to preserve the quality of the aquatic wildlife. To protect spawners, no fishing is

permitted during the spawning season. Additionally, a rotation is implemented each year by temporarily closing two to three lakes. The waters primarily host Walleye, Blue Walleye, and Northern Pike. Northern Pike specimens reaching up to 35 pounds and trophy Walleyes weighing over 15 pounds have been recorded, with the average Walleye catch being around 1.5 pounds. On land, the region is full of lightly traveled logging roads and trails ideal for wildlife. Black bears thrive in high density, with specimens over 350 pounds regularly harvested during the spring season. The forest cover also supports a steady population of small game, offering a choice habitat for snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, and spruce grouse, as well as woodcock on a more occasional basis.

Excellente qualité de pêche! Les chalets sont rustiques mais propres et les nouveaux propriétaires donnent un excellent service. Les chaloupes sont un peu usées mais de bonne grandeur et tout à fait fonctionnelles. Bref, l’endroit n’a rien à voir avec l’ancienne administration d’il y a 5 ans. Nous avons déjà réservé pour l’année prochaine.

Nous sommes très satisfaits de notre premier séjour au camp Cooper. Belle pêche, de beaux dorés de bonnes dimensions, beaux paysages particulièrement les Levers et couchers de soleil, propriétaires et personnel gentils et avenants. On revient l'an prochain pour un combo chasse à l'ours et pêche 😉

On revient d'un séjour de 5 jours pour la chasse et la pêche. Nous avons passé un moment extraordinaire. Les nouveaux propriétaires sont très accueillants. L'équipe est vraiment bien organisée, les chalets sont très propres et le service est personnalisé. Il y a plusieurs lacs accessibles. Chaloupes et moteurs à dispositions. La qualité de la chasse est vraiment bonne. Les sites sont entretenus et les propriétaires ont à coeur de préservé le cheptel d'ours sur le territoire. Notre semaine 2024 est déjà réservée! Je recommande l'endroit à toutes personnes qui souhaite vivre une expériences unique et chaleureuse.
