Camping Tendaro
A near-perfectly rated rustic campground in La Malbaie, Quebec, with hand-built wooden shelters on each site, St. Lawrence views and spotless washrooms.
What visitors say
Camping Tendaro in La Malbaie has an almost unbroken run of five-star reviews, and campers keep describing it as one of the best they've stayed at. The St. Lawrence is visible from almost every site, and the forest setting is quiet, with one guest noting no noise from Route 138.
What sets it apart is the build quality. Each site has named wooden structures, with the picnic table under a timber shelter fitted with hooks and shelves, a small enclosure for a portable shower or toilet, and a rope to hang garbage away from animals. Reviewers compare the structures to tree forts and praise how sturdy they are. Hand-built ready-to-camp units are also available.
The washrooms are called immaculate, and there's a dishwashing station with hot water and a spot for empty cans and propane bottles. Firewood is self-serve, paid the next morning. Paths link the sites to the facilities, and there's a playground, a herb garden and wild blueberries and raspberries in season.
The owners and staff are described as friendly and passionate about the place. Sites vary in how much privacy they have, so read the site descriptions before booking if seclusion matters.
