Camping Au Bord de la mer
An oceanfront campground on the St. Lawrence at Cap-Chat, QC, loved for sunsets, spacious sites, a long walking beach, bilingual owners and an on-site food stand.
What visitors say
Camping Au Bord de la mer sits right on the St. Lawrence at Cap-Chat on the Gaspé Peninsula, and nearly every reviewer mentions the view. Sunsets over the water are a highlight, and the beach runs a long way in both directions for walking. One camper spent time watching common eiders just offshore.
The young couple who own it get consistent praise for being warm, helpful and fluent in both English and French, which English-speaking visitors from Ontario appreciated. Sites are spacious, hookups are good, the dump station is clean and the facilities are kept tidy. A washer and dryer are in the women's washroom, at about $1.75 to $2 per load.
A canteen at the entrance serves food, with lobster rolls and poutine both recommended. The owners also share tips on local activities, and their website helped one family plan stops around the area. Travel-trailer and RV guests seem especially happy, and several are repeat visitors.
Complaints are rare. The main practical concern is its popularity, so booking ahead in peak season is sensible.
