A 20 km long lake! The only drawback of this place, in my opinion, is the proximity of the railway tracks. The train whistle often sounds, day and night. If you go there, plan a boat ride.

We stayed in a camper van at Walker Lake from July 27th to August 1st. When we arrived at the reception desk, Maxime was very kind and very funny with his electric fly swatter. When you have questions, he answers us and is always available. When we arrived at the camper van, everything was very clean. You have everything you need for your stay except your sheets and blanket, dishcloths and dishcloths. Otherwise, there are plenty of dishes, plenty of utensils, a wine glass, and a coffee cup. The toilets and showers in the restroom are very clean and clean every day, they smell good. Thank you to the maintenance employees who, by the way, are very kind. The restroom is right next to the camper van #32, the one we had. There is only a small refrigerator in the camper van, you will have to go to town to get another grocery store since you cannot refrigerate much. At the block there is a small sink where you can bring your dish tub and wash it since there are no sinks in the ready-to-camp site. My 7-year-old son rode his bike without any problem, it's safe. We went hiking to Mac Donald Falls but you have to go by car and it's beautiful. It's an easy hike. We rented a fishing boat with a 6-horsepower motor for 2 days and we caught 9 speckled trout. You have to be careful because Walker Lake can become risky if the wind gets up. You can also take a 20-horsepower motor but you must have your nautical craft license, which you can do online. If you are hesitant, I recommend going at 100 miles per hour. It's a relaxing place, no cell phone service unless you go to the reception desk. The scenery is breathtaking. A little tip, since there's a long way to go, ask lots of questions when booking so you don't forget anything. Thank you to all the staff; they are kind, helpful, and cheerful. They greet you every day. We had a wonderful time with you. Kayaking, pedal boating, paddleboarding, and other activities are available.

Great campground only 30 km north of Port-Cartier. We were one of the few guests for their last nights of the season. Friendly,welcoming workers, clean sites, spotless bathrooms, and HOT showers. Great kayaking from their beach; looks like the fjord at Grose Morne NP. Tough hike up to fire tower site with two fine vistas; trail clear and recently cleared. Easy hike to Chute MacDonald, but the hill beyond could use a chainsaw again.

The PAC itself is a spacious, fairly well-equipped set-up. However after 27km of rough dirt road, in a region fairly isolated, we would have expected to enjoy some peace and quiet… instead, we had a view on RVs and spent a sleepless night listening to noisy generators, water pumps, and nearby bathroom doors slamming loudly. Also wished we had known about bringing dish towels (which were provided in other SÉPAQ PACs), and containers for potable water (which only available next to the office, which is 500m away in the rain). We slept so poorly, that we left after just one night (in spite of having a 3night reservation). No refund either… VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Beautiful place, friendly staff, but .... BIBITTES C'EST L'ENFER !!! I saw so many people leave, especially those in tents, without kitchen shelters, don't even think about it. The road is poorly maintained, rusty nails on the beach from fire pits everywhere, treated wood in the wood bag, grass not cut. In short, trout paradise, but not for resort camping.

Easy and superb Manitou fall. Very wild and intense mountain trail Super nice spot for fishing or views The campsite looks more like a trailer park and the sanitary facilities left a lot to be desired. Hot water scarce.

Campsites a little too close together but otherwise very beautiful lake

Great especially Mc Donald's fall and the path that goes up to the point of view
