Camping Le Tipi
Overview
Camping Le Tipi serves as a serene gateway for travelers exploring the rugged Côte-Nord region of Quebec. Situated directly along the majestic St. Lawrence River, this park offers more than just a place to park an RV; it provides an immersive maritime experience. The park is well-known for its stunning riverfront views and its proximity to some of the world’s best whale-watching spots, making it a standout destination for those seeking a deep connection with nature.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the picturesque village of Les Escoumins, the park is perched where the river broadens into a vast estuary. The environment is defined by craggy shorelines and the fresh, crisp scent of salt air. This location is ideal for travelers who want to witness the dramatic tides of the St. Lawrence. The surrounding area remains largely untamed, offering a quiet escape from more crowded tourist hubs while maintaining easy access to the scenic Route 138.

- A convenient on-site laundry room and a dedicated playground area for children.
The layout is designed to maximize the natural landscape while providing the basic necessities for a worry-free stay.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw of this region is the water. Visitors are just minutes away from whale watching excursions, where you can spot minke whales, fin whales, and belugas. The nearby Marine Discovery Center provides fascinating educational exhibits about the underwater ecosystem. Travelers can also take the ferry to Trois-Pistoles for a scenic trip across the river or drive a short distance to explore the historic and charming village of Tadoussac.
Who This Park Is Best For
Camping Le Tipi is ideal for nature enthusiasts and families who prioritize location and authentic scenic beauty over resort-style luxuries. If your travel goal is to wake up to the sound of the river and spend your days scanning the horizon for marine life, this park fits perfectly.

Campground run by Innu tribe. Good spot for one night. Clean and not expensive. Sites are close together. Playground and nice paths, newly made, to views of St. Lawrence. Walked into town on nice paths. Note Registration is across from campground entrance, next to gas station and store. Must do to get key card to enter. Beware, google takes you an area near, but not correct

I love this little campsite in the middle of the Innus community, which is beautiful, and the scenery over the Saint Lawrence is breathtaking. Staff and fellow campers are very friendly. It's very easy to walk to the Saint Lawrence, and the depanneur is a few minutes walk away - very handy for a bottle of wine to drink by the camp fire. Thank you for having us!

Very nice campsite, sanitary facilities super clean. There are trash cans at every pitch. You can see, here they pay attention to quality and the place is well maintained. Sad that some campers do not appreciate this and use the fireplace as a trash can. Top WLAN, which you don't find so often. At the reception, French is mainly spoken, but you can also get along well with English. Very friendly staff, very helpful. Great convenience store, gift shop and gas station right across the street. Very nice area, you only walk a few meters and have a great view of the St. Lawrence River. I had a great time here. Whenever possible I use the offers of the First Nations, never had bad experiences. I have always found the best campsites, hotels and also food there. Highly recommend the place. Thanks to the staff 🙏🏼👍🏼 keep it up 👍🏼 Gabriele from 🇨🇭

Wonderful, clean and quiet camping with amazing views of the St. Lawrence and many amenities (pool, tennis court, outdoor ball hockey rink, park for kids and volleyball court to name a few)! Walking distance to whale watching lookout spots as well!
