A well-kept campground minutes from Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec, with a heated pool, river access, kayaks and a cosy common lounge. Tap water isn't drinkable, so bring your own.
What visitors say
Camping du Gouffre is a few minutes from downtown Baie-Saint-Paul, with mountain views and access to the Gouffre River, including a small beach. Reviewers mention colourful landscaping, a pond with ducks, chickens and bird feeders, and a quiet, relaxing feel. Several say it beats paying hotel prices in town.
Upkeep and service get strong marks. Most reviewers found the washrooms and showers renovated, plentiful and very clean. Staff are described as friendly, helpful and happy to serve guests in English, and recent visitors say the owners went out of their way to help during a car problem. The main building has a cosy common lounge and a small shop with coffee and a microwave.
It's very family-oriented. There's a large heated infinity pool with a lifeguard on duty, kayaks, tennis, badminton, billiards and a games room that's handy on rainy days. It suits couples too, and it works well as a base for exploring Charlevoix.
A few things to plan for. The water on site and in the washrooms isn't safe to drink; one visitor noted free refills from a bottled-water dispenser in the main building, while another was sold water at the store, so bring containers. Showers are coin-operated, toilet paper can run out before restocking, and fires must be out by 11 p.m. Some tent sites are small and close together, part of the grounds sits under buzzing high-voltage lines, and one recent camper found lots of unsupervised kids biking around.
