A small beachfront campground in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, QC, where sites back onto the St. Lawrence and campfires on the beach are part of the stay. Sites are small, and washroom reports are mixed.
Camping du Rivage is a modest campground on the Gaspé coast where the sites back right onto the beach. Reviewers love being a few steps from the water, falling asleep to the waves and watching the sunset and sunrise from their site. It's set back from the highway, so it's quieter than you might expect.
A recent visitor with an Airstream paid what they felt was a fair nightly rate and found the owners very friendly. Someone drove around in the early evening offering bundles of firewood for beach fires, so there was no need to carry them from the office. Potable water is available at the sites.
It works best as an overnight or short stop for travellers touring the Gaspésie who want to be right on the water. Several reviewers recommend booking a site close to the beach for the best view.
Sites are small. The overall rating is solid but not unanimous. One older review described dirty, smelly toilets and an uncomfortable encounter at arrival with a man who said he was the owner. More recent reviews describe friendly hosts, but it's worth knowing the range of experiences.
