This park offers a stunning waterfront experience where visitors can enjoy the dual beauty of the Baie des Chaleurs and the tranquil lagoon. It is widely recognized for its well-organized layout and the refreshing maritime air that greets every traveler arriving at this scenic spit of land.

The park is situated on a long natural sandbar that extends gracefully into the bay, providing almost constant views of the shimmering water and the rolling Appalachian mountains in the distance. This prime location in Carleton, QC, places you within a short walk or bike ride of the charming town center. The surrounding landscape is defined by the Baie des Chaleurs, which is officially recognized as one of the most beautiful bays in the world.

Great location, staff helpfull, campground was neat and clean, my site was level, 50 amp full hook up. Backed onto the beach, nice bike trail into town, if you have children there's a playground, then beach.

Amazing camp site on the ocean (Baie des Chaleurs). This campground is a must stay for this area. It’s on a peninsula with amazing 360 degree views. The sites are huge! Great staff and amenities.

A nice campground along a beautiful long beach. Clean washrooms and showers (coin operated). Firewood and ice available for purchase. Opposite the beach is water where people were fishing (that also offers a beautiful sunset I wish I had taken a photo of).

We stayed here for 3 nights while exploring the area. This is a lovely campground - large - but spread out along the spit with beaches. We had a back-in, full service, 30-amp site, #206. Shopping was nearby for re-stocking and the town had restaurants and ice cream shops. The park had playgrounds, bicycle trails, and laundry. There are some sites that back up to the beach. Nice stop along our route. Staff was friendly and helpful.
