Camping Parc De La Rive
A beachfront campground in Pointe-aux-Outardes on Quebec's North Shore, praised for its long, clean sandy beach and tidy washrooms. Sites are close together and the pool isn't open every day.
What visitors say
Camping Parc de la Rive's big asset is its beach. Reviewers describe fine, clean sand that runs for kilometres, calm evenings and a wide view of the water. Some sites sit directly in front of the beach, and most come with water and electricity.
The campground is largely seasonal. Washrooms are simple but consistently described as very clean. Showers run on tokens bought at the front desk, about four minutes for a dollar, which one visitor found dated. An older review suggested bringing cash for the campground and its snack bar, and a long extension cord if you ask for one of the quieter sites.
There's a pool and a slide, which families enjoy. Services are within about 30 minutes, according to one camper, and the reception is described as courteous.
The pool is the main frustration: a recent visitor found it closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and an earlier guest found it already shut by mid-August. Sites are packed together with no separation, and one camper heard a music show until late. Book early if you want a beachfront spot.
