Camping near Matane with wifi provided guide

Overview

Matane offers much to visitors, namely its status as the gateway to the many national parks and camping spots on the Gaspé Peninsula. Dig into some cold-water prawns (for which Matane is famous); walk the indie boutiques, artisan stores, and coffeeshops downtown; then wander the waterfront's marinas, lighthouse, and boardwalks. On the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, Matane is a great first stop on any Gaspé Peninsula road trip, with plenty of places to camp along the way.

When to go

Matane is a year-round destination with some seasonal amenities. If touring the region and looking to take advantage of major attractions, cafes, and restaurants, pretty much everything is open from June to October. Winter in this area is amazing though, with skiing, snowmobiling, dogsledding, and many more fun snow activities on offer—plus winter camping in Gaspésie National Park and beyond.

Know before you go

  • Matane has a full schedule of summer events, concerts, and festivals, so it's worth checking dates in advance to see what's on when you are there.
  • Matane offers multiple places to charge electric vehicles. 
  • Most people you encounter in Matane will speak English, though this may be at varying levels. Having a translation app ready on your phone can be handy.
