What visitors say
Camping De La Minganie sits right on the beach in Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan, looking out over the St. Lawrence. Reviewers talk about seeing whales, seals and birds from their sites, plus big night skies and sunrises. One camper paddled a kayak along the village beach and spotted a small rorqual.
Owners and staff get warm reviews for their welcome and their knowledge of the area, and both English and French speakers found it easy to get a site. Showers are hot and bathrooms clean, if a bit dated. Accommodation ranges from tent and trailer sites (grassy spots help keep sand out of your car) to a renovated cabin with a Murphy bed and kitchenette and a rentable trailer with its own washroom.
The campground also runs boat tours in season; one visitor enjoyed a three-hour trip and noted a discount for combining camping with the tour. It makes a good base for the Mingan area and a natural stop on the road towards Natashquan.
A few practical notes: Wi-Fi only works near the office and showers, laundry costs $2 a load in quarters and one guest found the dryer didn't do the job, and one reviewer mentioned washrooms reserved for cabin guests and tenters. One person felt the place was overcrowded. Boat tours end for the season in the fall, so check dates if that's your reason for going.
