The rivière du Camp Brûlé (English: burnt camp river) is a tributary of the east bank of the rivière des Neiges, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
This valley is mainly served by a secondary forest road going up the south-eastern bank of the "rivière du Camp Brûlé". This route is mainly used for forestry and recreational tourism activities.
Because of its altitude, the surface of the upper part of the rivière du Camp Brûlé is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the end of March; however, safe traffic on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
