Owners are super nice and helpful. Views from most sights are spectacular. A little disappointed in the pay showers so we stuck with our small hot water tank showers in our trailer. No need to bring your bike though. No where to bike. Highway was a bit noisy as the camp ground is right on the road without anything to block the noise.

It was an absolutely beautiful spot to camp with my family. The only thing that was a downer was that the showers were cold, no hot water and the bathrooms can use an upgrade. The owners were absolutely delightful. Would definitely return.

This will be an odd review. We camped here almost 20 years ago. First in 06 and then 08. It truly is a stunning place to camp. We treasure our memories. Met Dan the original owner back then. Super friendly gentleman. He treasured this property. The beach, the hikes, the tide pools. All amazing Today we drove by and just took photos. It looks exactly the same from back then.

My family and I drove up from Virginia, US, to camp for a week and everyone we spoke to in order to coordinate our visit was super friendly and helpful! The view is beautiful from any site, and we liked that they had sites with utilities like power and water. They’re not too far from Percé or Gaspé so we found it to be a great central location for our adventures - even to go to Forillon National Park. Their centralized amenities facility included bathrooms, showers, laundry, kitchen sink, and microwave. It was kept very clean and stocked! The staff warned us ahead of time that they offered coin-operated laundry, but we found out when we arrived that the showers were coin-operated also. It wasn’t too big of a deal for us, because we needed to exchange money anyway. They also had a small store where you could purchase emergency items, and there’s a small general store about a 10 minute drive toward Percé or a larger chain store about 20 minutes towards Gaspé. The staff checked in with us a couple times over our stay and their recommendations were great additions to our itinerary. Overall we had a fantastic visit and would definitely recommend a stay here!

Beautiful campsite and wonderful staff! The wood is very adorable on site, the amenities are great, you can shower, wash your clothes and dishes as well. Access to electricity if you need on specific campsites or there's wild spots in the back that are beautiful to stay at! Fire pits are nice, the decks are a cool feature to put our tents on, makes having a mattress a lot better! Definitely recommend this place 10/10
