My family and I stayed here for two nights on our recent vacation and we can't say enough great things about this place. From sign in to departure we had a great time. Gilles helped us check in and find out site, helped me situate and level the camper and made sure we had everything we needed. Our site was right on the water with amazing views of the St. Lawrence. We had a pod of Belugas visit the area both nights we were there. The beach was great for the kids to explore and play on. The campground, while small and limited in its amenities, was clean and welcoming.

I have to respond to the comment about the potable water as I don’t understand why this comment came out. We camp there every year and we know that the owner is testing the water once a week. They even test the water from the bathroom’s faucet even though they mark it non potable. All the piping used is fine for this purpose. All the campsites have a potable water outlet. I know because I am a plumber. It’s a great place with great people. A must see and visit!

This is a beautiful campground, with some great view of the river. The staff are very nice and helpful. We got one by the beach, under the trees for $42/night. Our site (21) was right next to the septic tank, but, the view was amazing and access to the beach was right there. We saw lots of minke whales and a couple of belugas one evening during our stay. You can also buy firewood here. I don’t think the water is drinkable as they don’t use the proper pipes to deliver it to the site, hence a bad smell and horrible taste. We went to the town camp and filled up with some drinking water.

Awesome stay! Showers, washrooms, and a dish washing sink are all included! Laundry is available for a laundromat fee, but very reasonable compared to some I've seen. Firewood is sold on-site. We arrived in the dark in September, and were guided to our spot and assisted in getting parked by the gentleman at the office. That was very helpful indeed as many of the sites are not all that level. Beautiful views and plenty of whale sightings in mid-September! Great views of the St. Lawrence from most of the campground. A very quiet campground in regards to the visitors, but you can hear the nearby road traffic, so keep that in mind. We stayed Monday to Saturday and had a relaxing time! Thanks Camping Levesque!
