Campgrounds and RV parks near Escuminac, QC

Escuminac sits on the north shore of Chaleur Bay in Quebec's Gaspésie region, near where the Restigouche River empties into the sea. The village faces the rolling hills of northern New Brunswick across the water, putting RV travellers within easy reach of campgrounds on both sides of the bay. Camping Aux Flots Bleus offers a Quebec-side option, while Inch Arran Trailer Park in Dalhousie, New Brunswick is a short drive across the J.C. Van Horne Bridge at Campbellton. Further afield, Sugarloaf Provincial Park Campground sits at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain in Campbellton, and Jacquet River Campground lies down the New Brunswick coast toward Belledune. For travellers heading deeper into Quebec, Etang a la Truite in the Matane Wildlife Reserve offers a backcountry experience in the Chic-Chocs interior. Most sites in the area are seasonal, with the bulk of operations running from late spring through early fall. Reservation systems differ between municipal parks, Quebec's SEPAQ network, and New Brunswick Parks.

Reservation systems vary by operator. New Brunswick provincial parks, including Sugarloaf and Jacquet River, take bookings through Parks NB. Nightly summer reservations typically open in early February at 9 a.m. AST, with seasonal site reservations opening a few weeks earlier in mid-January. Popular NB parks fill quickly on summer weekends, so booking soon after the launch is recommended. Quebec's national parks and wildlife reserves, including Réserve faunique de Matane, are reserved through SEPAQ at sepaq.com or by phone. Summer camping in SEPAQ national parks typically opens for booking the previous November, while wildlife-reserve camping opens in the spring before the season. Inch Arran Trailer Park is municipally run by the Town of Dalhousie and books directly. Private campgrounds such as Camping Aux Flots Bleus book through their own websites or by phone.
