Camping Municipal Mont Saint Pierre
Overview
Camping Municipal Mont Saint Pierre offers a front-row seat to the dramatic meeting of the mountains and the sea. Nestled along the shores of the St. Lawrence River, this park serves as a welcoming gateway to the Gaspé Peninsula. Travelers often visit this region to experience the unique topography where the Chic-Choc Mountains descend sharply into the saline waters, providing a backdrop that is both rugged and serene. It is a well-maintained municipal site that captures the spirit of Quebec maritime culture.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the heart of the village of Mont-Saint-Pierre, the park is defined by its spectacular geography. The site is flanked by massive glacial cliffs and the wide expanse of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The area is famously known as the hang-gliding capital of Canada, and guests can often see colorful gliders descending from the nearby peaks toward the valley floor. The proximity to the Route 132 scenic highway makes it an accessible and essential stop for those touring the famous coastal loop.
Amenities & Park Features
The facility caters well to different styles of camping, offering sites with full 3-way hookups for modern RVs as well as more rustic options for traditional campers. Guests have access to essential services including clean washrooms, hot showers, and laundry facilities to ensure a comfortable stay. For social gatherings or family travel, the park features a community hall and a playground for children. The waterfront sites are particularly popular, allowing RVers to enjoy the sound of the waves right from their doorstep while taking advantage of level, easy-to-access pads.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find no shortage of activities. The primary draw is the Mont-Saint-Pierre Observatory, which offers panoramic views of the valley and the sea. Hiking is a major highlight, with trails like the Sentier du Delta leading to impressive lookout points above the village. Visitors can also explore the local marina or participate in guided excursions to learn about the region's unique geology. The nearby Gaspesie National Park is also within driving distance, offering further opportunities for mountain exploration and wildlife viewing.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal fit for active adventure seekers and nature photographers who want to be immersed in the Gaspé landscape. It is particularly suited for families looking for a safe, managed environment and RVers who prioritize scenic views over resort-style luxuries. Whether you are using it as a basecamp for mountain hiking or simply a peaceful stop during a coastal road trip, the park provides a sense of community and access to some of the most beautiful natural landmarks in Quebec.

Only gets 2 stars because the site are actually pretty well organized and private but the check in process was ridiculously painful.. The lady at the counter took forever to check people in (we sat there over 30 mins for her to serve 1 couple) not eye contact, no acknowledgement that we were there, no directions whatsoever. The magnetic card deposit is the weirdest thing I ever heard, if you're not gonna give people cards change the thing to a pin pad or remove the gate 🤦♂️ . She was like are you going anywhere tonight? What does it matter? I'd like to have the option 🙄 .

Ontario English speaking travellers wandering through Quebec haha! Another example of a well kept Municipal Park. The front gate attendants were excellent and helpful. Nice sites, a park for the kids, excellent facilities. We had a great stay. A cool night with the ocean breeze. It's a very unique spot. Highly recommend you try it and explore the local community. We will definately be back

Beautiful setting in the valley, with mountains towering over it. Spacious sites with privacy. We had site 105 with electricity, water and dump. One drawback: trail along the river is too woodsy and doesn’t give easy river access. Not cheap at C$54 but worth ot.

This is a great campground, situated at the base of several mountains and along the St. Pierre river. The sites were fairly spacious and private, washrooms were extremely clean, firewood was dry and plentifully bundled. There was a great setup for kids, play structure, large bouncy pad and I think a splash pad as well. Gaspesie National Park is also down the road so great hiking nearby.

A very beautiful, clean, well maintained and quiet campsite. It was the perfect spot to camp and go on some amazing motorcycle rides. We had originally intended to camp closer to Gaspe but we ended up being much happier with this location.
