A clifftop campground in Saint-Siméon, Quebec, overlooking the St. Lawrence, where campers regularly spot belugas and minke whales from the lookout. Clean facilities, but sites aren't very private.
Camping Falaise Sur Mer sits on the bluffs above the St. Lawrence at Saint-Siméon, and the view is the headline. Guests describe hearing the water and watching boat traffic from their sites, and several have seen belugas, minke whales and harbour porpoises from the observation deck. Birders note plenty of warblers in spring, and a trail leads down to the beach.
The practical side is solid. Sites range from rustic to full service with water, electricity and sewer, and there are cabins and campers to rent. Washrooms are clean with private toilet rooms, showers are pay-operated, and the laundry gets good reviews. The owner and staff are called gracious and helpful, speak good English, and share tips on the area. A common room is useful for cooking when it's windy.
There's a heated pool and a large playground for kids, and the grounds are very dog-friendly, with waste stations along the roads. A small grocery store is nearby. It suits RVers and van travellers who want a few quiet nights by the river, and couples looking to unplug.
Sites aren't huge and privacy is limited. One camper ended up with a back hillside site with long grass and had to park some distance away. A family was told tent sites overlooking the water weren't available to guests with children, so ask when booking. Shower temperature can jump when someone flushes.
