What visitors say
Camping Valcartier in Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier sits right next to the big Valcartier water parks, and that's the main reason people stay. Families say the outdoor park in particular is fantastic, with more slides and longer hours than the indoor one, though lines grow in midsummer and umbrella tables go early.
Registration is quick and staff are generally described as friendly. Several campers found serviced and unserviced sites spacious with good privacy, while others found tent sites near the entrance small and cramped. A store at the front sells firewood and basics, and there's laundry, an arcade that's a bit worn and a movie theatre.
It suits families planning water park days above all. Sites close to the main building make amenities easy to reach.
The rating is mixed for real reasons. Washrooms get split reviews: some found them clean, others found them rarely cleaned, with broken shower doors and flies near garbage bins. Firewood and ice are expensive, so buy wood on the road in. Music from water park parties can carry until about 11 p.m. One recent visitor also felt staff showed little concern when they had car trouble.
