Camping near Bonaventure, Quebec
Bonaventure sits on the north shore of Chaleur Bay (Baie des Chaleurs) in the Gaspésie tourism region of Quebec, where the Bonaventure River meets the sea. The town serves as a practical base for RV travellers working their way around the Gaspé Peninsula loop on Route 132, with private and municipal campgrounds spread between the river valley and the coast.
Close-in options include Camping Le Moulin Rouge and Camping Ruisselet on the outskirts of town and Le Camping along the river corridor. Camping Municipal St-Godefroi sits a short drive west along the bay, while Camping Murraywood is on the New Brunswick side of Chaleur Bay at Petit-Rocher-Nord, within reach by car ferry or a longer drive around the bay. Most are seasonal operations with a mix of serviced and unserviced sites suitable for travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class B or C motorhomes.
The town itself offers full RV resupply: grocery stores, fuel, propane, dump stations at several private parks, and access to the Acadian Museum of Quebec, the Bioparc de la Gaspésie, and a working marina on the bay.
Things to do around Bonaventure
The Bonaventure River is the headline draw. Outfitters in town run guided and self-guided canoe, kayak, raft, paddleboard, and snorkelling trips on what is widely cited as one of the clearest rivers in the world, known as Wagamet, meaning clear water, in the Mi'kmaq language. Families with younger kids gravitate to the Bioparc de la Gaspésie, a regional zoo featuring native Quebec wildlife, and to the Acadian Museum of Quebec for a rainy-day option.
Within day-trip range: Parc national de Miguasha, a UNESCO World Heritage fossil site west along Chaleur Bay; the Banc-de-Pêche-de-Paspébiac National Historic Site nearby to the east; and the inland trails and salmon pools of the Bonaventure River valley. Cyclists can pick up sections of the regional bike network running parallel to Route 132.

The practical RV season in Bonaventure runs from late May or early June through mid-October. Most private and municipal campgrounds in the area open around early June and close by mid to late September, tied to the Gaspésie summer tourism window. River outfitters typically operate from early June to mid-September.
July and August are peak season. Weather is warmest, river water is at its clearest, and the full slate of festivals and outdoor programming runs across the peninsula. Sites along the coast and on the river fill quickly in this window, so reservations well ahead are necessary.
June and September are quieter shoulder months with cooler nights, fewer crowds, and good wildlife viewing. Early-fall colour peaks in late September and early October across the interior. November through April brings hard winter conditions: snow, ice, freezing temperatures, and closure of nearly all campgrounds and river services. Route 132 stays open year-round but is winter-driving territory.
How to book a campsite
Private campgrounds around Bonaventure, including Camping Le Moulin Rouge, Camping Ruisselet, and Le Camping, take reservations directly by phone, email, or through their own websites. Camping Murraywood, across Chaleur Bay in New Brunswick, books through its own site as well. Many Quebec operators are also listed on the Camping Québec and Bonjour Québec directories, which link out to each operator's booking system. Camping Municipal St-Godefroi is run by the local municipality and reserves directly.
For Quebec national parks in the wider area, including Parc national de Miguasha and Parc national de la Gaspésie, bookings go through Sépaq, the provincial parks agency. Sépaq opens its national-park camping reservations for the following summer in early November of the previous year, so popular weekends in July and August are best secured as soon as the window opens. Park access fees apply on top of camping charges and can be purchased online before arrival.
What to expect on the ground
Bonaventure is a small Acadian-French town. French is the working language at most campgrounds and shops, though English service is common at tourism-facing businesses, including the larger river outfitters. Cell coverage is reliable in town and along Route 132 but drops off quickly on inland forestry roads and in the river canyon.
Sites range from full-service pull-throughs aimed at larger motorhomes to wooded back-in sites better suited to vans and smaller trailers. Many riverfront sites are unserviced and have limited maneuvering room, so confirm rig length when booking. Expect cool nights even in midsummer, persistent black flies and mosquitoes in June, and a real possibility of multi-day coastal rain in any month. Pack layers, a dump-station plan, and Canadian-format payment, since some smaller operators are cash or Interac only.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Bonaventure, QC
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Bonaventure, QC?
Great news: an RV rental in Bonaventure is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Gaspé Peninsula. On RVezy, travel trailers near Bonaventure typically start around $100 to $150 CAD per night, while motorhomes generally run $180 to $250 CAD per night. Most hosts offer 10 to 20 percent discounts on weekly and monthly bookings, which adds up fast on a multi-day Gaspésie loop. To find a cheap RV rental in Bonaventure, book in the shoulder months of late May, early June, or September when nightly rates drop and the Baie des Chaleurs is still gorgeous. Pro tip: filter for Instant Book to lock in your dates fast during the busy July and August Festival Acadien season.
bonjourquebec.com/en-ca/where-to-go/regions-of-quebec/gaspesieWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Bonaventure, Quebec?
Good news: your regular Class 5 (or equivalent) driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Bonaventure, even for a big Class A motorhome. Quebec does not require a special RV endorsement or commercial license for recreational vehicles under 4,500 kg used for personal travel. To rent on RVezy, you'll need to be 25 or older and complete a quick ID verification through the platform, which usually takes just a few minutes. Visiting from outside Canada? An International Driving Permit paired with your home license is recommended for smooth pickup. Most first-time renters are surprised how easy the licensing piece really is, so you can focus on planning your Gaspésie RV trip instead.
saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/drivers-licences/obtaining-a-licence/class-5-passenger-vehicleIs my RV rental protected if something happens during my trip?
Yes, every RV rental in Bonaventure booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance included, so you can hit Route 132 with confidence. During checkout, you choose your protection level based on the coverage and deductible that fit your trip, and the plan covers most accidental damage to the vehicle. Hosts don't pick the coverage, you do. That means if a gravel chip from a logging truck on Route 299 cracks the windshield, or you bump a low branch at Camping Plage Beaubassin, you're not on the hook for the full repair. Pair that with RVezy customer support available before, during, and after your trip, and your Gaspé adventure is genuinely worry-light.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Bonaventure RV rental?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy applies a clear, standardized cancellation policy on every reservation, so you know exactly what to expect before you book your Bonaventure RV trip. Refund outcomes depend on how far in advance you cancel relative to your pickup date, and the policy is the same across listings since hosts don't set their own cancellation rules on RVezy. If a host ever cancels on you, RVezy issues a refund or travel credit so your plans stay protected, which matters on the Gaspé where summer storms occasionally roll in off the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Pro tip: review the cancellation terms shown at checkout before confirming July's Festival Acadien dates so you can lock in oceanfront sites with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Bonaventure?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in Bonaventure is easy to find on RVezy: just flip on the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see dozens of dogs-welcome listings across the Baie des Chaleurs region. Your pup will love this corner of Gaspésie: Plage de Beaubassin allows leashed dogs on parts of the beach in shoulder season, the Bonaventure River trails are shaded and cool, and many sites at Camping Le Moulin Rouge welcome four-legged campers. Message the host directly before booking to confirm any size, breed, or cleaning fee details. Pro tip: bring a tie-out and a collapsible water bowl, since summer afternoons along the Chaleur Bay can hit 28°C and shade matters.
tourisme-gaspesie.com/en/Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Bonaventure?
Yes, RV delivery in Bonaventure is one of the smartest ways to start your trip, especially if it's your first time renting an RV. Many hosts on RVezy will drive the motorhome or trailer directly to your campsite at Camping Plage Beaubassin, Camping Le Moulin Rouge, or a private cottage along Route 132, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. That means no towing a trailer down the winding hills near Saint-Elzéar and no backing into a tight site on day one. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see which Bonaventure hosts offer it, and check each listing for the delivery radius and fee, which is typically a flat rate per kilometre set by the host.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Bonaventure%2C%20QuebecHow far can I drive from Bonaventure during my RV trip?
You can go wherever the Gaspé road calls you. Most RV rentals in Bonaventure come with a daily mileage allowance (often 200 to 300 km per day), and many hosts offer RV rental with unlimited mileage as an add-on at booking, which is ideal for a full Gaspé Peninsula loop. From Bonaventure, you're about 130 km to Percé and the famous Rocher Percé, 230 km to Forillon National Park, 110 km to Parc national de la Gaspésie and the Chic-Choc Mountains, and roughly 700 km back to Quebec City. Check the mileage policy on each listing before booking, and if you're planning the full tour de la Gaspésie, message the host to upgrade to unlimited kilometres upfront.
transports.gouv.qc.ca/en/Pages/default.aspxWhere are the best campgrounds near Bonaventure for RV camping?
You're spoiled for choice for RV camping in Bonaventure. Camping Plage Beaubassin sits right on the Baie des Chaleurs at 154 Rue de Beaubassin with full hookups, beach access, and ocean sunrises. Camping Le Moulin Rouge offers a wooded setting along the bay just minutes from downtown and is known for warm Gaspésien hospitality. Camping Ruisselet is a quieter family-run option closer to the Bonaventure River, perfect for paddlers. A bit further out, Camping au Bord de la Mer in New Richmond (about 30 km west) and the SEPAQ campground at Parc national de la Gaspésie (about 110 km north) are top picks. Pro tip: book oceanfront sites by March for July and August.
sepaq.com/pq/gas/When is the best time to visit Bonaventure in an RV?
The sweet spot for a Bonaventure RV trip is mid-June through mid-September, when Baie des Chaleurs water actually warms to a swimmable 18 to 20°C (yes, really, it's the warmest salt water north of Virginia). July and August bring daytime highs around 22 to 25°C, long sunny days, and the lively Festival Acadien de la Gaspésie in early August. June has fewer crowds and blooming wildflowers; September delivers spectacular fall colours along the Chic-Chocs and quieter campgrounds. Most attractions and private campgrounds operate from late May to early October, then close for the season. Pro tip: aim for the last week of June if you want warm weather, open restaurants, and zero booking-out stress at oceanfront sites.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/results_1981_2010_e.htmlI've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay on my Bonaventure trip?
Yes, and most first time renting an RV stories from Bonaventure end with people booking again the next summer. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water, the dump valves, generator, and slides, so you leave knowing exactly how everything works. You also get 24/7 roadside assistance and RVezy support before, during, and after the trip. Bonaventure itself is beginner-friendly: Route 132 is a wide, well-maintained coastal highway with gentle grades through town, and gas stations, grocery stores, and the Provigo are all easy to access. Pro tip: ask your host for delivery and setup on day one, then drive short legs (Bonaventure to Percé is just 90 minutes) to build confidence quickly.
saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/road-safety/behaviours/sharing-road/recreational-vehicleWhat if my RV breaks down on Route 132?
You're never alone out there. Every RV rental in Bonaventure on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing. One call gets help dispatched, whether you're in town or pulled over near the Miguasha cliffs. Cell coverage is generally solid along Route 132 from Carleton-sur-Mer through Bonaventure to Paspébiac, with only short dead zones in the deeper Bonaventure River valley. Your host is also a quick message away through the RVezy app for any how-does-this-work questions. Pro tip: snap a photo of the RV's VIN and the roadside assistance number at pickup and save them to your phone so you've got them ready even if you lose signal briefly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trips from Bonaventure?
An RV road trip from Bonaventure practically plans itself, because you're right on the famous Tour de la Gaspésie loop. Head east 130 km to Percé for Rocher Percé and Île Bonaventure with its 100,000-strong northern gannet colony. Continue 100 km to Forillon National Park for whale-watching at Cap-des-Rosiers. Loop north through Sainte-Anne-des-Monts to Parc national de la Gaspésie (about 4 hours from Bonaventure) for the Chic-Choc Mountains and Mont Albert. Heading west, you're 280 km to Kouchibouguac National Park in New Brunswick across the bridge at Campbellton. Crossing into the U.S. or Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals, but the Quebec-New Brunswick crossing is allowed; just confirm with your host before booking.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/qc/forillonWhat should I budget for fuel on a Bonaventure RV trip?
Fuel is one of the bigger line items, but it's easy to plan around. Class C motorhomes near Bonaventure average 18 to 22 L/100km, Class B campervans run 12 to 15 L/100km, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Gas prices in the Gaspé typically sit a few cents above the Quebec average, hovering around $1.65 to $1.85 per litre in 2026, with stations in Bonaventure, New Richmond, and Chandler being the most reliable along Route 132. For a 7-day Gaspé loop of about 900 km in a Class C, budget roughly $300 to $400 CAD in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in New Richmond or Bonaventure before heading into Parc national de la Gaspésie, where stations are sparse.
rncan.gc.ca/our-natural-resources/domestic-and-international-markets/transportation-fuel-prices/4593How far in advance should I book a campground near Bonaventure?
For July and August, book 3 to 5 months ahead, because the best Bonaventure campgrounds (especially oceanfront sites at Camping Plage Beaubassin and Camping Le Moulin Rouge) fill fast with Quebec families on summer vacation. SEPAQ provincial parks like Parc national de la Gaspésie open reservations annually in early spring through the SEPAQ online portal, and popular sites at Mont-Albert sell out within days. For Parks Canada sites at Forillon, reservations open in January via the Parks Canada Reservation Service. Shoulder season (June and September) is usually walk-up friendly. Pro tip: if you're flexible, Camping Ruisselet and smaller municipal campgrounds along Route 132 often have last-minute openings even in peak season, and they're a lovely lower-key option.
reservation.sepaq.com/What are driving conditions like around Bonaventure?
Driving an RV around Bonaventure is genuinely relaxing compared to most of Quebec. Route 132, the main artery, is a well-paved two-lane coastal highway with gentle curves and wide shoulders through town. Speed limits are 90 km/h on the highway and 50 km/h in town. Watch for moose at dawn and dusk between Bonaventure and Parc national de la Gaspésie, occasional logging trucks on Route 299, and gusty crosswinds along exposed sections of the Baie des Chaleurs. Winter driving (November to April) brings snow and ice, so most RV travel happens May through October. Pro tip: download the Québec 511 app for real-time road conditions and construction alerts before any longer leg of your Gaspé itinerary.
quebec511.info/en/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Bonaventure?
Most campgrounds near Bonaventure are well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Expect 30-amp electrical hookups at full-service sites, potable water fills, dump stations, hot showers, flush toilets, and Wi-Fi at the main lodge area. Camping Plage Beaubassin and Camping Le Moulin Rouge both offer beachfront access, playgrounds, and on-site convenience stores. For dumping, paid campers use on-site stations; if you need to dump elsewhere, the municipal dump station in New Richmond and the one at Parc national de la Gaspésie's Mont-Albert sector accept transient RVers for a small fee. Fresh water fills are widely available. Pro tip: arrive with empty grey and black tanks and a full fresh tank so you can settle into your oceanfront site without a first-day dump-station detour.
sepaq.com/camping/What's inside a typical RV rental in Bonaventure?
You'll feel right at home. A typical motorhome rental in Bonaventure comes fully equipped with a queen or king bed, convertible dinette, full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), bathroom with shower and toilet, furnace, air conditioning, and seatbelted seating for travel. Most Class C and Class A units sleep 4 to 7 people, while a campervan rental in Bonaventure is perfect for couples or solo travellers exploring the coast. Many hosts include linens, kitchenware, outdoor chairs, and a barbecue, and many Gaspé listings add a generator, solar panel, or Starlink/Wi-Fi setup for off-grid stays at backcountry SEPAQ sites. Check each listing's amenities list on RVezy and message the host directly if you want extras like a kayak rack or a kids' booster seat included.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Bonaventure%2C%20QuebecWhat add-ons and pickup options should I look for when I rent an RV in Bonaventure?
There are some great extras that make an RV rental in Quebec feel effortless. Popular add-ons on Bonaventure listings include delivery and setup, unlimited mileage upgrades, generator hours, propane refills, linen and kitchen kits, bike racks, kayak racks, and outdoor furniture packages. Pickup is normally at the host's home in or near Bonaventure, New Carlisle, or Caplan, and most hosts offer a 30 to 60 minute orientation walkthrough so you leave knowing how every system works. Default mileage policies typically range from 200 to 300 km per day, with extra kilometres charged at a per-km rate set by the host. Pro tip: if you're doing the full Tour de la Gaspésie loop, ask about a bundled unlimited-mileage and generator package upfront, since it usually beats paying for each separately.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Bonaventure%2C%20QuebecHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book an RV rental in Bonaventure on RVezy, you pay through the platform with a credit card, with no cash exchanged with the host. Hosts also place a refundable security deposit hold (typically $500 to $1,500 CAD depending on the RV) a few days before pickup, separate from your booking payment, and it's released back to your card after the trip once the host confirms the RV was returned in good condition. To avoid any surprises, do a thorough walkaround with your host at pickup and dropoff and take date-stamped photos and a quick video of the interior, exterior, and odometer. Pro tip: keep all communication and any change requests inside the RVezy app, so everything is documented if you ever need support.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I take my Bonaventure RV rental across the border into New Brunswick or the U.S.?
Quebec-to-New Brunswick travel is usually allowed and a fantastic add-on to your Gaspé loop: from Bonaventure, it's about 220 km west to the J.C. Van Horne Bridge at Campbellton, your gateway to Kouchibouguac National Park and the Acadian Coast. Many RVezy hosts are happy to permit travel into New Brunswick and the rest of Atlantic Canada, just confirm with your host before booking. Travel into the United States may be allowed depending on the host and the insurance terms, so always ask first and get written approval through the RVezy message thread. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Pro tip: bring your passport even for the New Brunswick crossing if you might continue into Maine.
