Good location in Percé. Some sites have a great view of the famous rock. Some sites are very small. I would make sure to specify how much room you need. We were lucky to be there in the off season and they provided two side-by side sites, one for the truck (F-150), and the other for the tent. Very clean washrooms and amenities. Showers are free unlike most that use quarters (.25).

By far the best campsite we had on our Gaspésie trip! The views are breathtaking, with a dedicated spot featuring lounge chairs, picnic tables, and even a hammock where you have the Percé Rock in plain sight. The common areas are spotless, and everyone is incredibly polite. During the day, you can take a shuttle to the city, and in the evening they even offered to pick up my wife and me from a restaurant where we had a reservation. That thoughtful gesture made all the difference, it felt like catching a ride with a friend, and they even refused any compensation. If there’s one place I know I’ll return to on my next visit, it’s this one! Merci!

One of the better private campsites! It's not super big. It has fences to help privacy. Washrooms were cute and well designed. There's a microwave and lounge area. Sells firewood and ice at the reception. Good view on the Percé rock
