We stayed here for two nights on our way to Quebec. Nothing really in the town worth checking out, but the campground was wonderful. Not many other campers there so it was nice and quiet. A great spot for a quiet nights sleep! We had a spot right on the river, and enjoyed sitting outside watching and feeding the ducks. The woman in the office who checked us in was very friendly and spoke very good English. We are from the US and speak a little French. If you visit Quebec and don't speak French, please try and learn a few basic words, such as merci and bonjour, it will go a long way toward spreading kindness! Campground was very clean, river very scenic.
