Is it possible to buy or reside if one member of the couple is under 45 years old? 

To reside on the Resort, at least one member must be 45 years of age or older. The couple must not have any dependent children living with them on the Resort. 

There are no restrictions to purchase a lot other than being over 18 years old and being Canadian. You will have to wait until you are 45 years old before residing the Resort.  

Can we come and visit before or after the Open House? 

Absolutely! All you have to do is make an appointment by contacting the office at 450-659-3389. The office keeps an up-to-date list of lots for sale. 

When does the Resort open and close? 

The resort opens in early April and closes in late October. Dates are subject to change depending on weather conditions. 

Can we finance (mortgage) the purchase of the lot? 

The concept of a mortgage does not apply in our context. You buy shares in the company "Camping la Clé des Champs, RV Resort Inc." which give you an exclusive right to a specific lot in the Resort. 

You can still apply through your banking institution for a personal loan, but the shares of our company cannot be used as collateral. 

What other expenses should be planned? 

In addition to the cost of your cocktails during happy hours, you are responsible for your electricity consumption. Each lot has its own electricity meter. It is your responsibility to read and report your meter to the office at the beginning of each month for billing and payment. 

The costs of municipal tax, school tax, internet fees, water, and garbage are covered by your fees to the operating fund. 

Can my children or grandchildren visit? 

Yes, absolutely! They are welcome to visit. Being a 45+ campground, the children and grandchildren of shareholders and seasonal campers cannot spend the entire summer on the resort. However, they are allowed to stay with you a maximum of 15 consecutive days and that, twice a year. 

Does the resort provide Internet access? 

Yes, access to high-speed internet is included in your operating fund contributions. 

Does the resort provide cable (TV) service? 

We do not provide cable (TV) service. However, due to our ideal geographical location (near Montreal and Burlington), we can receive HD channels for free, including Radio-Canada, TVA, Télé-Québec, CTV, Global and several American channels using a simple antenna (many RVs come equipped with this type of antenna). 

Streaming platforms like ICI-TOUT TV, Crave, Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV, etc. are also good alternatives to cable TV service.  

 Why is there so much lots for sale? 

There are a few important factors that influence the number of lots for sale: 

When Camping la Clé des Champs was founded, many shareholders bought their lot in the same period. Twelve years later, many of these shareholders are now older and camping life is no longer adequate for them. 

During COVID, many lots were sold. We are now seeing a correction to the COVID effect. 

The RV life has its day, after several years, people move on to other passions.There will always be an inventory rollover. 

Can we use our lot in the winter? 

No. You can come on foot in winter to visit and check on your equipment. The water system is closed for the winter, and the gate is closed and locked. 

I would like to rent before buying, is it possible? 

Yes, absolutely! We have many lots that are leased by non-shareholders (seasonal campers) each season. 

Rental contracts are usually signed at the end of the season for next season. Contact the front office to put your name on the waiting list. 

Is the Complex safe for people and property? 

Yes, very safe! La Clé des Champs is a very close community. The site is secured with a gate and cameras 

in several places. No thefts have been reported in years. We have a security team with members trained in first aid and CPR. 

Are there grocery stores, big box stores in the area? 

 Oh yes! Costco, Walmart, Rona, Canac, IGA, Super C, Métro, Maxi, SAQ, several restaurants, banks and pharmacies within 10 km of the resort. 

 Are pets allowed? 

Absolutely, we love our dogs and cats. A maximum of two (2) pets are permitted. 

We have regulations to ensure the good understanding and safety of all: 

Animals must be kept on a leash during a walk and must not circulate on the lawns of private lot. 

The animal must not leave the limits of the private or travelling lot, so provide a leash that will not exceed the limits of the latter. Excessive barking will not be tolerated. 

Pets are not allowed in public buildings and playing sites as well as the pool area. 

The vaccination of animals against rabies must be up to date. 

Can I work from the Complex? 

Yes. You can work remotely from the resort. Our high-speed internet service is adequate for remote work. On the other hand, it is forbidden to operate a business on the resort. 

Is it possible to buy more than just a lot? 

Yes, absolutely! A shareholder can buy up to a maximum of 5 lots. It goes without saying that you will be able to stay on only one lot/RV if you so wish. The other lots can be rented to individuals each season, under our seasonal rental program. 

What are the annual fees for shareholders? 

Shareholders are assessed according to the number of shares they own. We have three types of funds to which shareholders contribute annually: 

Operating Fund (OF) - covers the operating costs of the complex based on projected expenses and revenues for the year. For the 2026-2027 fiscal year, the contribution to the OF is $ 0.439 per share. 

Contingency Fund (CF) - covers major long-term infrastructure expenses (water network, swimming pool, electricity network, etc.). For the 2026 season, for the 2026-2035 projection, the contribution to the CF is $ 0.1240 per share. 

Maintenance, Improvement and Acquisition Fund (MIAF) - covers short-term expenses. For the 2026-2027 fiscal year, the contribution to the MIAF is $ 0.1002 per share.
