Spotlessly clean, but sandwiched in like a parking lot. No actual property except a small slice of land with a table. Your next door neighbours on both sides might as well be living with you. The beach is only steps away and is very beautiful. That being said, this was a good place to camp while visiting the area and enjoying the amazing scenery:)

Update: just finished our 14 day Atlantic Canada trip, and this site has the nicest facilities of all the places we stayed. Amazing location, walkable to the upscale restaurant next door - accessible to beautiful sunset views. Walkable to the waterfront park and cafe. This is our first camping trip, and the place was clean - showers and washrooms. Showers had good temperature water....they were lockable private shower stalls with benches. Very quiet area too....we slept so well with the windows open, and the smell of campfire from the neighbors. The lady that checked us in was super nice, and bilingual. We were sad to leave, will be back soon!

Great value! We stayed for one night on our way home. The site is well-maintained. The online booking and check-in processes were easy to follow. They have brand new washroom with modern designs. Great river review and is close to everything. I highly recommend this place. Will definitely return next year!

Nice location; good laundry, bathrooms, shower and indoor playroom facilities; Views along the ridge, camping lots are close together but the park is extremely quiet. Pets walked by owners on leach. nice kids parks with play structures. 3 way hock-up back in lots, easy in and out. Free Wi-Fi but we could not access with password, cell service was good regardless. 4 french TV channel on local cable. The city itself is quite charming with a active commercial and boutique shopping, several restaurants, trails and parks to visit. Historical home and building are beautiful.

Showed up last minute on a Saturday in July without a reservation. The staff were very helpful in getting us a site for the night. Park is very clean and well managed. Right along the St Lawrence, so the scenery was amazing. Close to walk to the River and area parks. Thanks !!
