We used this as a one-night stopover on our way past Quebec City and were pleasantly surprised with the park. Although we didn’t get a chance to use all the facilities, the location was great close to QC and our site was fine. We just took whatever was left and it was not very private but there were some sites that were quite nice if you reserved in advance.

Let’s start with the positive. The shower had plenty of hot water, but was so small I had to step outside to change my mind. The lot was very tiny, no privacy, and garbage was left behind by previous campers and not cleaned up by management. To be fair we were here for only one night, and didn’t see the rest of the place

Probably the best place which is close to the city and has a taste of nature at the same time. Only thing bothers me is that yard on the side which caused a lot of dust, and blown on to the trail by wind. Well, I guess they don’t run year round.

Amazing setting, superb facilities. It's large though, so prepare to walk a lot. Very very nice camping site.
