Campgrounds near Maria, Quebec
Maria sits on the north shore of Baie des Chaleurs in the Gaspésie region of Quebec, between Carleton-sur-Mer and New Richmond along Route 132. The area is part of the La-Baie-des-Chaleurs tourism sector, with calm tidal flats, beaches, and the Mi'gmaq community of Gesgapegiag immediately adjacent to the village. RV travellers use Maria as a base for touring the Gaspé Peninsula loop and as a quieter alternative to the busier campgrounds further east near Percé and Forillon.
Campground options cluster along the bay within a short drive of Maria. Camping De La Pointe-Taylor is the closest full-service seaside option in nearby New Richmond, part of the Parc régional de la Petite-Cascapédia, offering serviced and unserviced sites and a seaside RV parking area close to all New Richmond services. Camping Aux Flots Bleus and Camping Ruisselet are nearby Quebec-side properties along the bay. Across the water on the New Brunswick shore, Inch Arran Trailer Park in Dalhousie and Jacquet River Campground near Belledune are reachable by the J.C. Van Horne Bridge at Campbellton. Most parks in the area are seasonal and oriented to RV and trailer camping.
Things to do near Maria
Parc national de Miguasha, about 30 minutes west, is registered on the UNESCO World Heritage list, with fish and plant fossils that tell the story of the first earthly vertebrates some 380 million years ago. The park's hiking trail along the cliff reveals views over the estuary of the Restigouche River in a 3.5 km loop. In Maria itself, the Vieux-Quai park hosts cultural activities, and the Goélands Beach is a common picnic and walking stop. Mountain biking on backcountry roads and Carleton-Maria hiking trails are accessible from the village, and the outdoor recreation centre offers winter cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Kayaking and swimming on the warm waters of Baie des Chaleurs are common in summer. Day-trips reach Mont Saint-Joseph above Carleton-sur-Mer, the Petite-Cascapédia River, and salmon-fishing rivers in the Avignon valley.

The Gaspésie camping season is short and tightly tied to the warm months. Camping De La Pointe-Taylor in nearby New Richmond operates seasonally from mid-May to about late September. Parc national de Miguasha is open from June 1 to mid-October. New Brunswick parks across the bay follow a similar pattern: Inch Arran Trailer Park in Dalhousie has about 48 sites and runs roughly May through September.
July and August are the peak window, with the warmest bay water, longest daylight, and most attractions fully staffed. Mid-June and early September are quieter and cooler, suitable for travellers who want easier site availability. October brings fall colour in the inland hills but most private campgrounds close. From November through April the region is in winter mode: most campgrounds are shut, Route 132 is plowed but exposed to coastal wind and snow, and RV services in the area are limited. Plan fuel and dump-station stops accordingly during shoulder season.
How to book campgrounds near Maria
Private campgrounds in the Baie-des-Chaleurs sector are booked directly with each operator by phone or through their own websites. Camping De La Pointe-Taylor, Camping Aux Flots Bleus, and Camping Ruisselet all take direct reservations, and Pointe-Taylor is also listed through Camping Québec and Bonjour Québec. Parc national de Miguasha has no overnight accommodation, but visitors are encouraged to find lodging nearby. Daily visitor capacity is limited at Sépaq national parks, so purchasing a right of access online before a visit or holding an annual pass is strongly recommended; the daily access right can be purchased up to 30 days before a visit. Inch Arran Trailer Park in Dalhousie is booked through the municipality and typically has a waiting list for its seasonal sites. Jacquet River Campground is booked directly with the operator. For July and August, reserve serviced RV sites several weeks ahead, and longer for waterfront pads.
What to expect
Most campgrounds in this corridor are mid-sized and family-run, with a mix of serviced and unserviced sites, dump stations, showers, and laundry. Camping De La Pointe-Taylor offers serviced and unserviced sites plus a seaside RV parking area, close to all New Richmond services for grocery and fuel runs. Inch Arran Trailer Park in Dalhousie has 40 full-service and 8 non-serviced sites with canteen services and shops within walking distance. Sites along the bay are often arranged in open rows with limited tree cover, trading privacy for water views and breeze. Cell coverage is generally reliable along Route 132 and weaker on inland side roads. Expect bilingual signage and staff who can usually serve guests in English on request. Black flies and mosquitoes peak in June; coastal wind keeps bug pressure lower at seaside sites.
