When I got there, I was told it was time for Christmas in July celebrations that weekend. Nowhere on there website did it specify which date this event was taking place. My 2 dogs were petrified with the fireworks happening right next to our lot. Whenever voicing my displeasure, my opinion was pushed to the side. Not going back.

We stayed here for 4 nights while we explored the area. It has lovely views of the neaerby mountains. The campground was easily accessible and sites were easy to get into and level. It was a great option for visiting Forillon National Park and the town of Gaspe. We chose site #213 - a back-in, full service, 30-amp site. It was a bit away from most of the activities so it had less traffic by it and fewer children nearby. Staff was helpful.

A lovely campground; with a friendly English speaking owner. The washrooms were extremely clean; and the laundry room as well. everyone seemed to obey the nighttime curfew. Would highly recommend.

Park was clean. Well run and managed. Site was not very level but we managed fine. Our sewer connection was uphill when connected so we opted to do our dump as we left the campground. There is a creek bed located at the rear of the campground which was a nice walk.
