Camping au Bord de la Rivière
A large riverside campground in La Malbaie, Quebec, with full hookups, a pool, laundry and a camp store. Handy as a base, but sites are tight and it can be noisy.
What visitors say
Camping au Bord de la Rivière is a big campground along a river in La Malbaie, mainly set up for RVs and with a large share of seasonal campers. The river edge is rocky rather than beachy. Reviewers generally see it as a practical base for exploring the region rather than a destination in itself.
Full hookups are available, and there's laundry, a pool, a playground and a store stocked with most things you might have forgotten. A recent visitor in a teardrop trailer found the park very clean and made good use of the washrooms and showers. Fireflies at night are a bonus in summer.
Space is the recurring complaint. Several campers describe small sites packed close together with little privacy, road noise from the main highway and live music on Saturday nights. One reviewer found only two shower rooms, outside and separate from the toilets, with weak water pressure. The rustic sites are said to be quieter.
The property also rents motel units. One older review describes a booking mix-up where the reserved unit went to someone else, so confirm your reservation before arrival.
