Location & Surroundings
Situated in the quiet municipality of Sainte-Monique, QC, the park sits gracefully on the banks of the Péribonka River. The surrounding landscape is defined by lush forests and the expansive waters of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean area.

The park serves as a gateway to exploring the agricultural beauty and rural charm of the northern Quebec countryside.

Families will also appreciate the playground and the common areas designed for social gatherings and peaceful evening relaxation by the water.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

A short drive or bike ride leads to Pointe-Taillon National Park, known for its long sandy beaches and diverse wildlife including moose and beavers. Guests often spend their days kayaking on the river or fishing for landlocked salmon and walleye. For those who prefer land-based activities, the local trails offer excellent opportunities for birdwatching and long-distance cycling through some of the most picturesque landscapes in the province.

We love this campsite! We've experienced both the campsites and the cabins. We love the intimate grounds, the great pool, the magnificent view of the ponds, the trees, etc. All the nearby activities are also great, especially the magnificent beaches! Thank you to all the staff, especially Jérôme!

Great discovery, super well located near the Sepaq and accessible by bike. We spent the night in a small, super well-equipped chalet before taking the Véloroute des Bleuets again in the morning. Great welcome :) The only point that could be improved in my opinion: provide two pillows per person.

Super courteous and friendly staff who called us to ask if we needed wood before they left and brought it directly to our pitch. The shared toilets and showers were very clean. Only advice: don't forget your mosquito repellent aha

Spacious sites, clean, good services, reasonable prices. Host could not have been more helpful - made us feel like family. Sites are very “open”, no trees between sites, but plenty of space for sitting out.
