The best camping near Sainte-Anne-des-Monts

Well suited to serve visitors to nearby Gaspésie National Park, Sainte-Anne-des-Monts offers a range of great places to eat, a microbrewery, boutiques, a marina, and a popular salmon fishing river.

We enjoyed our week camping here. It was very quiet and pretty much anything you need is back there! We lived waking down to the river in the evening to skip rocks!

Weekend Trip to RAC Camping

We had an amazing time camping at RAC! The swimming hole was the highlight for us. We had a quiet night, miles from the road and any noise or light pollution. It was a wonderful evening and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the spot. Thanks for having us!
