Beautiful campsite, lots of residents, superb beach! If you can book the "Colonie Australe" sector, it's much better than the Boréal sector because it's closer to the beach and there's no path to cross.

Very very good service. Out of 5 campsites called to reserve, they were the only ones who answered right away without having to go through 56 pitons before leaving a message. Quiet and clean grounds. We were able to try the dog beach with our dogs. The grounds are still big enough to put 2 big tents. Nice welcome. Very nice campsite. The owner is very kind and pleasant to talk to with her good humor. The service really, in my opinion, was perfect. You can see that this lady loves her job. The only problem, a night at $65 is a bit expensive. But just for the scenery, it's worth it. This campsite is really great. I just didn't go to see the activities but it's a place where I would return once in the summer. The photos are of the dog beach side

We had a great country-themed weekend. There were games for everyone during the day, a free dinner in the evening, plus entertainment with singers and a dance floor. We even had a beautiful fireworks display. The only downside is that the toilet block on the 300 pitch side, the laundry room, the shower, and the toilet are all in the same room. Sometimes you have to wait a really long time before you can use it.
