RV camping in Quebec

Quebec has some very nice parks and we spent two days at the Mt Tremblant Park which had very good walks and bicycle trails.  The Mt Tremblant area is a very popular four-season playground drawing skiers in winter and other outdoor enthusiasts the rest of the year.  We were however just about the only campers at the park.

Camping in Quebec is more expensive than anywhere else we have been.  Entry to provincial parks is per person not per vehicle as elsewhere and the entry fee is PER day no matter how long you stay.  We think that the Quebec parks price themselves out of the general market and perhaps that is the reason we have seen no licence plates anywhere other than the Quebec ones.  The charges are very off-putting and camping here seems an expensive recreation.  And the little black flies of June, plus all the other flying insects known to man are a distinct disadvantage.

That said, the parks offer a great deal with some spectacular river views and waterfalls and countless lakes throughout.  No matter where you go, yet another beautiful lake appears, tempting you to get the camera out yet again.   These aspects, plus the fact that we had such excellent company in this province, will be features we will always remember.

We cycled around the park which has great bike trails.  Wherever you turn there is yet another lake large or small around the corner.  This shot captured such lovely reflections, I had to load it on the blog.

And this incredible sight of a tree growing over a rock.

Another lake that Andrew saw on his 10 km hike he did on the morning we left the park.
