Beaucoup de rafales et des crissements de pneus sur la gravelle jusqu’à 23h.
Aucun autre VR présent.

Belle place tranquille du moin au mois d’octobre magnifique vue sur le fleuve

August 3rd, 2023 by rockyraccoon

Good spot to stay max 24 hrs. Very busy though.

July 23rd, 2023 by jeanne.guevremont

Grand quai municipal où il est permis de rester 24h. Le problème c’est que plusieurs ont décidé d’en faire leur camping. Des motorisés, des roulottes, name it. Les gens s’installent pour des semaines complètes, avec tout leur attirail et se stationnent de côté pour avoir une meilleure vue. C’est fédéral…
Le stationnement est plein à craquer. Il n’y a plus de respect pour l’espace et les autres. La ville fermera sûrement l’endroit éventuellement à cause de tous ceux qui ont des VR à 300 000$ mais qui sont trop cheaps pour se payer un camping. C’est épouvantable. Reste que l’endroit est merveilleux même s’il est gâché par ce manque de savoir-vivre enrageant.
Nous avons quitté à 21h à cause du bruit et du nombre de personnes.

Marvelous place on a large pier of gravel enough for more then 20 RV. garbage disposal. very calm with a view and little beach.

June 8th, 2023 by alexandre.segura

Il y avait quelques voitures mais c’était quand même calme et la vue était belle!

June 7th, 2023 by phoenix.holdsworth

Beautiful spot , waves crashing on the rocks .

May 28th, 2023 by coline.tiphaigne

Super lieu ! Parking réservé aux VR, seule demande de la part de la ville : rester max 24h mais c’est largement suffisant ! Couché et levé de soleil magnifique !

May 28th, 2023 by dufour_jf

Great place right on the st-lawrence. Guess it can get crowded during weekends. No water or fire pit, it’s just a gravel wharf but it’s quiet, big and the view is beautiful.

May 26th, 2023 by jules.erard

Super spot ! Poubelle au début du parking, et surtout une vue magnifique !

April 19th, 2023 by Wildwassermenne

a wonderful windy view place with good internet by visitor center.

October 9th, 2022 by reinier.bruijne

Beautiful RV spot and not Bush! Bit windy ;-)

September 8th, 2022 by gordthisis

Seems very popular, 20-30 other vehicles here on a Thursday in early September (after labour day). Gravel parking lot on pier right by the water. I'm assuming the views were great, but was still very foggy when I left. Sign says can stay for 24 hours.

August 21st, 2022 by felixhuellen

Lots of campers. Gravel parking. Free, but the parking lot belongs to the museum. Toilets and picknick tables nearby.

August 14th, 2022 by stephennqs

Wonderful spot to enjoy the sunset and climb up the light house. Free parking if you patron the submarine museum. Beautiful lighthouse with buttresses. 100 years old and about 125 stairs. Also a shipwreck museum.

August 16th, 2021 by emmabtimmins

This is definitely still a legit spot! Totally full of campers/vehicles, organized and tidy. Great option if you don’t need overnight services.

August 10th, 2021 by facebook.com/masuivre

STILL OPEN! 24 hours parking allowed for patrons of the museum. Quiet, lots of space. It is a gravel parking by the submarine you can visit. Great sunsets and sunrises.

August 7th, 2021 by super_jerr

Great free place to rest for the night. Beautiful views all around (320 degrees). Come early to get a good spot- we came at 5pm and snatched a spot at the end of the pier squished between an RV and smaller trailer. Two things to note - there are many RVs around, and no public restroom at night (6pm to 9am). Beautiful sunset facing the pier. Sleep was good, very calm after sundown (occasional vehicles rolling in at night).

If the pier with RVs ain’t your thing, there is also at least two parking lots where you can stay overnight, also saw a few tents pitched up. As someone mentioned lineup for submarine is long but there are also installations outside for a quick tour.

August 5th, 2021 by ginagard

This place is a great spot to see the sunset. Be warned that it is packed with large motorhomes. I mean packed! If you have a small rig or van, I'd suggest you find another spot.

August 4th, 2021 by sylvainaubin

July 10th, 2021 by RocktheRV

stopped for the view. overnight is allowed ..signed says stay for 24 hrs. there were lots of RV ..

July 8th, 2021 by stina416

Absolutely amazing: posted signs allowing you to stay for 24 hours, stunning view, seems too good to be true but, alas, it is.

June 30th, 2021 by edunikov

Great place with a beautiful view. Only RV allowed, no services accessible.

June 27th, 2021 by Irene

Camping allowed on the quay for max 24h. Clear signage to this effect.

June 16th, 2021 by abenoit7

Le site est ouvert pour passer la nuit (24h). Les visites des installations ouvrent le 19 juin. Super vie sur la mer!

Grand espace sur le quai. Beau coucher de soleil.

This place is permanently closed.

September 17th, 2020 by gagnondaniel1599

grand stationnement pour vr et roulotte seulement en gravier compacté. tres propre. stationnement autorisé et passer la nuit. maximum 24 hr.

August 23rd, 2020 by Mamy Gigi en voyage

We have been spending nights on the dock for many years now, every time we visit Gaspésie. We never had any problems. A sign indicates that it is allowed.

August 19th, 2020 by telar

this is open, 24hr limit for RV’s, huge lot, almost full at 19:30 on a cold windy night

July 25th, 2020 by marieneigelaplante

Belle vue et spot tranquille.
Beaucoup de VR, c’est plein ce soir.

Beautiful view and quiet spot.
Lots of RVs, it's full tonight.

July 11th, 2020 by nsmatrakalev

The place is open and many RV are parked there. We just had a lunch there, but lot of people stay overnight. Nice view, lovely for a walk. No toilet, no water on site.

July 4th, 2020 by Chris+Nicole

Arrived at 730pm last night to find the parking lot already very full. Was able to park at other small parking lot just next to this big lot. They are still allowing RVs to park here even past July 1 when the museum is now open. Great sunset views, everyone seems to have gone to bed just after sunset so makes for a quiet evening.

Great location on the quay. No problems at all, despite many comments saying you can't park here. Signs say you can stay for 24hrs. Seems as though the museum's are closed until July 1st for anyone visiting soon. Can't find the toilets, but maybe they are inside? Great views, campsite feel with all of the other vans and RVs!

June 11th, 2020 by francenadeau1965

Magnifique WoW. C’était notre première fois en Boondocking. Nous y étions le 11 juin 2020. 4 roulottes. Bc de vent.

June 9th, 2020 by mariepier.martell

Situé sur le quai. Bien pour une nuit mais stationnement achalandé.

June 7th, 2020 by m.harpham13

Overnight camping allowed ! great spot, quiet, big

September 16th, 2019 by cocalie

Lots of different parking lots just beside the St Laurent. The view is beautiful, it's quiet at night and the different museums are really nice. Lots of picnic tables, very clean flush toilets too. Wonderful :)

August 30th, 2019 by bjemond

A previous reviewer is mistaken about this site. This site is OPEN to RVs for up to 24 hours if they visit one or more of the 3 sites - submarine, museum, and/or lighthouse. There were over 20 RVs parked here legally last night with room for more. See pictures of the signs attached.

July 29th, 2019 by steffleblanc

Excellent endroit tranquille pour passer une nuit avec coucher de soleil! Assis sur la plage! 8/10Rue en cul-de-sac!
Perfect place to sleep one night! You have the sunrise in front of you! You sit on the beach 8/10

July 22nd, 2019 by cboulet21

Super endroit, très beau coucher de soleil, beaucoup de place, calme même s'il y a 15 autre campers, mais c'est l'occasion d'aller discuter ;)!
Du bout du quai je ne capte pas de wifi, et je n'ai pas chercher les toilettes donc je ne sais pas s'ils sont toujours en fonction.

July 20th, 2019 by a-f-wortberg

official signs for RVs and camping on the dock. it was very busy when we arrived around 8pm so better come early if you have a big RV. toilets are open from 9am to 6pm. not really wild camping cause there were so many people around but good for a stopover.

June 27th, 2019 by annendhai

There is no problem to park here overnight. Many others stayed here together with us. It's official allowed. Nice quiet place with beautiful few on the water.

June 23rd, 2019 by benoitdelisle

Not as expected ! Rivière-du-loup is much better.

June 18th, 2019 by bpouliot98

Beau levé de soleil!👌🏼😍 Quelques V-R mais pas trop plein

May 31st, 2019 by n.mendesdacosta

Nice big parking lot. There were at least 10/15 other campervans here.
I couldn't find wifi and toilets are locked at night. But the sunset is very beautiful and the town at night is too.

May 25th, 2019 by ntibo1960

Super pour passer la nuit tranquille propre et vue incroyable.

May 24th, 2019 by omnianacapella

very nice. National Site. lots of room for all sizes. no amenities, at least, no when the restaurant and attractions are closed.

October 7th, 2018 by adam

Parfait! Énorme stationnement sur le quai.

WoW Nice place for free you can stay more than 1 night

August 5th, 2018 by ge_stamand

Very nice view on the St-Lawrence, lots of RV but very quiet. Toilets nearby but can be used only during business hours. We stayed for one night in a roof top tent without any problem.

August 3rd, 2018 by remi.gwen

Grand parking pour camping-car près du sous-marin , nuit autorisée. Pas de wifi. Nuit calme au milieu d'une vingtaine de camping-car.

July 21st, 2018 by diane-leblanc

Le quai était plein. De gros RV surtout. Mais qu importe nous étions 2 westfalia sur le parking juste à côté. Encore mieux et tranquille! Feu sur la grève. Vue sur le phare de Pointe-au-Père.

July 3rd, 2018 by parenthesenomade.com

Nice location in front of St Laurent river. Quiet.

June 28th, 2018 by familibre

Jolie vue. De nombreux camping-car pour la nuit

June 17th, 2018 by amandine_h68

Place calme, VR acceptés, toilettes chimiques proche du sous marin.
Possibilité de s'arrêter sur le quai proche du fleuve.
Beaucoup plus sympa qu'un parking Walmart.
