Camping near Bonaventure guide

Overview

This small town where the Bonaventure River meets the Baie des Chaleurs offers a range of cultural and recreational activities, including the Quebec Acadian Museum, the Bioparc de la GaspÊsie (a small zoo with an impressive collection of animals), a historic lighthouse, and lots of restaurants (including several specializing in Acadian cuisine). All around Bonaventure are amazing hikes to waterfalls and areas of great natural beauty to explore, and many private and municipal campgrounds dot the area. Bonaventure makes an excellent stop as part of your GaspÊ Peninsula road trip itinerary.

When to go

Like many of the towns and cities on the Gaspé Peninsula, tourism is the lifeblood of Bonaventure so visiting outside of the high season (June to October) you’ll find that many attractions and restaurants are closed. In July and August, the weather is glorious, but the town will be very busy (and the municipal campsite is likely to be booked out). Visiting in June or towards early fall will be much quieter but still offer everything you want to experience.

Know before you go

  • French is the primary language spoken in Quebec, and although most tourism operators should speak English fluently, this isn’t always the case and it can be useful to have a translation app at the ready. Websites for attractions are often only in French.
  • You’ll need a vehicle to get to Bonaventure and to explore outside of the town. Transit options are non-existent.
  • Bonaventure has an electric vehicle charging station in town, a laundromat, and a host of other useful amenities that you may not find in other towns along this route. 
  • The town has rental locations for bikes, kayaks, and canoes.
