The best camping near Trois-Pistoles guide

When to go

Though Trois-Pistoles is a small city that supports a population of about 3,500, some attractions and restaurants keep lesser hours (or close altogether) outside of the main June to October tourism season. Winter activities are popular with a small ski hill nearby, so snow lovers have reasons to visit year-round.

Know before you go

Trois-Pistoles hosts an annual storytelling festival each September, Festival le Rendez-vous des Grandes Gueules. This translate to "the meeting of big talkers" and is a great event for French speakers.
French is the first language in Trois-Pistoles, so not everyone you encounter will be fluent in English (though most people working in tourism should have basic proficiency). Put a translation app on your phone to aid you as needed.
Campers will find three EV charging stations in Trois-Pistoles.
Getting around this area without a vehicle will prove difficult, so bring your own or rent a car in advance.
