Great location, close to the Tadoussac ferry and whale watching. Sites are decent, with full service available. A hiking trail from the campground leads to a beautiful waterfalls (watch out for giant hogsweed)
Stephane Boucher
Ideally located to take the ferry to Tadoussac, whale watching and more. Facilities are dated and wifi only available at entrance of campground. Trail from campground to waterfalls is beautiful.
Patrick Gemmill
We stayed for 3 nights. The camp sites are smaller and have very poor drainage and It rained the entire time we stayed. The site has showers for a fee ($1/ 4 minutes). Laundry services too that close when the front desk closes. Firewood was $10 a bundle, but $5 for the exact same bundle down the road. Overall the stay there was okay. The scenery and amenities near by are worth it though.

I stayed two night at this beautiful campsite and really enjoyed it. Showers, toilets and camp grounds were clean and equipped enough for families. River front grounds have a very spectacular view of mountains, saint Laurence river, ships and also beautiful birds. The camps site is near to the main road but it did not bothered us at night, no noise of passing vehicles or etc. camp grounds are close to each other. The staff were so kind and supportive. Overall, I had an excellent experience in this camp site.
