Camping spaces small enough and to much cars the electrical wires make a very loud noise. No running water to drink is available to drink and showers cost 1$.

Wonderful little piece of paradise in BSP. The campground is very well maintained, and all common areas are well-kept and clean at all times. The landscaping is lovely with a beautiful pond and the cutest duck families living there. The infinity pool is large and heated, and feels family friendly with a lifeguard always on duty. Kayaks, tennis, badminton, billiards are all available on site. Staff is friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. Would highly recommend this campground!

This is a lovely camp ground with very nice facilities. The toilets and showers were clean and I never had to wait for access to either. The pool looked inviting and well maintained. The only thing I would mention is that part of the campground is under high voltage lines and they make a buzzing sound so if you’re sensitive to that book in another section of the campground, you can see the lines on the map of the sites. The sound didn’t bother me but I thought I would mention it. Last but not least the friendly people both staff and campers made my stay very enjoyable. I’ll be back soon.

Phenomenal getaway. I came to this location from the U.S. This paradise has many camp sites back home beat! (And I have been to a lot) Camping du gouffre is in a great location with great views of the mountains and close enough to the cozy downtown area of Baie-Saint-Paul for all your shopping needs. Personally, I enjoyed how quiet and relaxing this location is and has many great amenities! My fiancée and I came here for vacation and the staff treated us like family! They addressed all our needs with a smile on their face and are very punctual. You will not find customer service like this anywhere else! I encourage anyone looking for your next vacation getaway to consider Camping du gouffre. You will leave a new person!

A beautiful spot, well-maintained, clean facilities, and very friendly staff. We appreciated the service in English! Cheerful and helpful. Gorgeous flowers, ducks, chickens, bird feeders, lots of washrooms and showers. Boil water advisory mitigated by free access to refill our own water containers with bottled water dispenser in the main building. And NO BUGS!! a pleasant stay, highly recommend!
