Mont-Joli camping overview

Mont-Joli sits on the south shore of the St. Lawrence estuary in Quebec's Bas-Saint-Laurent region, at the eastern end of Autoroute 20 and between Rimouski and the Gaspé Peninsula. The area gives RV travellers access to coastal parks, salmon rivers, and inland forest reserves within a short drive. Camping Annie and Camping De La Mer are among the closer private options for travellers who want shorter transit from town. To the west, Bic Provincial Park (Parc national du Bic) is operated by Sépaq and is the main draw for most visitors, with about 238 campsites across four campgrounds, some with water and electric hookups. South of Rimouski, the Lac Rimouski - Rimouski Reserve provides a more remote wildlife-reserve setting on lakes. East along Route 132, Camping De La Riviere Matane sits near the Matane salmon river and the ferry terminal for the North Shore. Sites range from full-hookup RV pads to rustic tent platforms.

Things to do near Mont-Joli

Most trips center on the St. Lawrence shoreline and the parks west of town. At Bic Provincial Park, visitors hike to the Pic Champlain lookout, paddle the bays, and watch seals haul out on the rocks. Boat launching is carried out from the Havre-du-Bic sector, and tide times must be checked carefully. Inland, the Lac Rimouski - Rimouski Reserve area is used for lake fishing, canoeing, and quiet forest stays. East of Mont-Joli, the Matane River is a well-known Atlantic salmon river with a fish ladder viewing chamber in town. Day trips also include the Pointe-au-Père lighthouse and Empress of Ireland museum in Rimouski, the Reford Gardens in Grand-Métis, and whale-watching excursions out of nearby Bas-Saint-Laurent ports.

    Freezing and snowy; RV campgrounds closed

The camping season in this part of Quebec is short and concentrated. Bic Provincial Park camping typically runs from mid-May to mid-October, with exact opening and closing dates varying by sector. July and August are peak months for warm weather, long daylight, and full park programming; sites along the coast and at popular Sépaq sectors fill weeks ahead for summer weekends and Quebec's construction holiday in late July. Late May, June, and September are quieter, with cooler nights, fewer bugs in shoulder months, and good wildlife viewing. Fall colour aligns with the wettest stretch, since October is the wettest month in Mont-Joli, with peak foliage typically in late September and early October. Outside the summer season, the park remains open year-round for day use, with entrance fees payable at all times, but standard RV camping is not offered; winter visitors stay in yurts, four-season cabins, or limited winter campsites. Private campgrounds along Route 132 generally follow a similar mid-May to early-October window.

How to book near Mont-Joli

Reservations for Bic Provincial Park and other Sépaq national parks open the previous November for the following summer season, with the Bic time slot historically falling on the Saturday of the launch weekend. Bookings can be made online or by calling the Sépaq Customer Relations Centre at 1-800-665-6527, with a virtual waiting room used at peak opening times to distribute traffic fairly. A daily access fee or annual network card is required in addition to the site fee. Wildlife reserve sites such as Lac Rimouski - Rimouski Reserve open for reservation in the spring of the same summer season, several months later than the national parks. Private campgrounds including Camping Annie, Camping De La Mer, and Camping De La Riviere Matane are booked directly with the operator. Popular waterfront and full-hookup RV sites should be reserved several months out for July and August.

What to expect near Mont-Joli

Expect a French-first environment; most park staff speak some English, but signage and printed materials are usually in French. Cell coverage is generally reliable around Mont-Joli, Rimouski, and along Route 132, but drops in the inland reserve sectors. Sépaq sites range from full-service RV pads to backcountry tent platforms, and not every sector has a dump station, so confirm services when booking. Black bears, raccoons, and foxes are present in the region, and food storage rules apply. Coastal weather can change quickly; fog rolls in off the estuary and evenings are cool even in midsummer, so pack layers. Dogs are allowed in specific sectors of Bic Provincial Park, including Macreuse and part of Eider. Quiet hours are enforced across the network.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Mont-Joli, QC

How much does it cost to rent an RV in Mont-Joli?

RV rental in Mont-Joli is affordable compared to bigger Quebec cities. Travel trailers and campervans typically start around $130 to $190 CAD per night, while larger Class C motorhomes generally run $200 to $300 CAD per night. Because Mont-Joli is a gateway town to the Gaspesie and Bas-Saint-Laurent regions rather than a major metro, daily rates are often lower than in Quebec City or Montreal. To find a cheap RV rental in Mont-Joli, book mid-week, travel in June or early September, and use the price filter to compare listings. Many local hosts include generous kilometre allowances, which keeps your total Route 132 trip cost predictable.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mont-Joli%2C%20Quebec

What licence do I need to rent an RV in Mont-Joli?

A regular Class 5 Quebec driver's licence (or its equivalent from your home province, state, or country) is all you need to rent an RV in Mont-Joli for every motorhome and campervan listed on RVezy. No commercial licence, no RV endorsement, and no special training are required. Visitors from outside Canada should bring their home licence, and an International Driving Permit is recommended if your licence is not in English or French. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID securely through the platform before pickup.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirements

Is my RV rental in Mont-Joli covered if something goes wrong?

Yes. Every booking to rent an RV in Mont-Joli on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered against most damage to the RV while you explore the Bas-Saint-Laurent coast. RVezy offers several protection plan tiers, and you (not the host) choose your level of coverage during checkout, so you can match the plan to your comfort level. Roadside assistance is included with every protection plan, which means flat tires, lockouts, and unexpected issues along Route 132 are already handled before you hit the road.

What if I need to cancel my Mont-Joli RV trip?

You can book your Mont-Joli RV trip with confidence because RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy that applies to every booking on the platform. The exact refund you receive depends on how far in advance you cancel relative to your pickup date. If a host cancels on you, RVezy will help you rebook or provide a refund or travel credit. To see the exact terms that apply to your dates, review the cancellation details during checkout or contact RVezy support before you book.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guests

Can I bring my dog on a Mont-Joli RV trip?

Yes. Pet-friendly RV rental in Mont-Joli is easy to find: just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see listings whose hosts welcome four-legged co-pilots. Mont-Joli and the surrounding Bas-Saint-Laurent region are very dog-friendly. Parc national du Bic allows leashed dogs on designated trails (check current SEPAQ rules before your visit), and the long beach at Sainte-Luce, about 10 minutes from town, is great for sunset walks with your pup. Some hosts charge a small pet cleaning fee, which is shown upfront in the listing. Pack a towel for muddy paws after low-tide beach explorations.
sepaq.com/pq/bic/

Can the RV be delivered to my campground near Mont-Joli?

Yes, RV delivery in Mont-Joli is a great option, especially if it is your first time renting an RV. Many local hosts will drive the motorhome or travel trailer directly to your chosen campground, such as Parc national du Bic or a private park in Rimouski, level it, hook it up, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. This is perfect if you are flying into Mont-Joli Airport and don't want to tow anything yourself. Delivery fees are typically based on distance from the host's home base. Filter listings by Delivery on RVezy to see which hosts offer this service and how far they will travel.

How many kilometres do I get with my Mont-Joli RV rental?

Plenty for a full Gaspesie loop. Most RV hosts near Mont-Joli include generous daily kilometre allowances, and several offer RV rental with unlimited mileage on weekly bookings, which is ideal because the classic Tour de la Gaspesie is roughly 885 kilometres round-trip from Mont-Joli. The exact kilometre policy is shown clearly in every RVezy listing before you book, along with the per-kilometre rate if you exceed it. If you plan to drive all the way to Perce Rock (about 540 km one-way) and back, message the host first to confirm the kilometre package fits your route. Most hosts are happy to bundle extra distance into your booking.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mont-Joli%2C%20Quebec

Where are the best campgrounds near Mont-Joli for an RV?

You have great options for RV camping near Mont-Joli. Top picks include Parc national du Bic (about 35 km west on Route 132), with hundreds of sites and stunning coastal coves; Camping de la Pointe in Rimouski, a popular waterfront park; Camping Annie in Sainte-Flavie, known for its lighthouse views; and Camping de la Mer in Sainte-Luce, right on the St. Lawrence. Most offer water and electric hookups suitable for motorhomes and travel trailers. Book Parc national du Bic through SEPAQ's reservation system as soon as it opens in early winter for prime summer dates.
sepaq.com/pq/bic/

When is the best time to rent an RV in Mont-Joli?

Mont-Joli's RV season generally runs from mid-May through early October, with July and August delivering the most reliable warm weather (daytime highs around 22 to 24 C) and long evenings perfect for campfires by the St. Lawrence. June is fantastic as whale-watching season ramps up near Tadoussac, while September brings spectacular fall colours along the Matapedia Valley and far fewer crowds. Winters are genuinely cold (January lows often around -18 to -20 C), so most local hosts pause rentals from November through April. Shoulder seasons offer noticeably lower nightly rates and easier campground reservations at Parc national du Bic.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/

I have never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in Mont-Joli?

Yes. Mont-Joli is one of the easier places in Quebec for first time renting an RV. The roads are wide, traffic is light outside of summer Saturdays on Route 132, and most routes are flat to gently rolling along the river. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, covering how to level the rig, run the propane fridge, dump tanks, and operate the awning. You can also message your host any time during the trip if a question pops up, and 24/7 roadside assistance is included with your protection plan. Start with a smaller Class B campervan or Class C motorhome for your first booking, and you'll feel comfortable within the first hour.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirements

What happens if my RV breaks down during the trip?

You are not on your own, even on the most remote stretch of Route 132. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of your protection plan, so a flat tire near Sainte-Flavie, a dead battery at Parc national du Bic, or a tow from the Matapedia Valley is handled with one phone call. Your host is also reachable directly through RVezy's messaging system and knows their RV inside out. For non-mechanical issues, RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after every trip. Save the roadside assistance number in your phone before you leave Mont-Joli, just in case cell reception dips on rural roads.

What are the best RV road trips from Mont-Joli?

An RV road trip from Mont-Joli is one of the great drives in eastern Canada. Top routes include the full Tour de la Gaspesie via Route 132 (about 885 km loop, 5 to 7 days), Perce Rock and Bonaventure Island (about 540 km one-way through fishing villages), Forillon National Park at the tip of the peninsula, the Matapedia Valley salmon-river drive south toward New Brunswick, and the whale-watching corridor west toward Tadoussac. Cross-border travel into the USA is permitted by many hosts with prior approval, but always confirm the route with your host before booking so the protection plan and host's permission cover your trip.

How much should I budget for fuel on a Mont-Joli RV trip?

Fuel is one of your biggest variables but easy to estimate. Class B campervans typically use 9 to 12 L/100km, Class C motorhomes burn around 16 to 22 L/100km, and travel trailer fuel use depends on your tow vehicle. Gas prices in Mont-Joli usually run a few cents higher than Quebec City but stay cheaper than remote Gaspe Peninsula stations, so fill up in town before heading east. For a 7-day, 1,000 km Gaspesie loop in a Class C, budget roughly $350 to $500 CAD for fuel at current Quebec pump prices. The stations along Boulevard Jacques-Cartier are the easiest big-rig pull-throughs in town.
regie-energie.qc.ca/en/consumers/petroleum-products/average-retail-prices

How far in advance should I book a campground near Mont-Joli?

Earlier than you might think for the popular spots. Parc national du Bic releases summer reservations through SEPAQ's online system in early winter, and prime weekends in July and August can sell out within days, so set a reminder. Privately operated parks like Camping Annie, Camping de la Mer, and other Sainte-Luce campgrounds typically open bookings in late winter and have more flexibility, often holding sites until 1 to 2 months ahead. For mid-week stays in June or September, you can frequently book a week out. If Bic is full, try Camping de la Pointe in Rimouski or the municipal campground in Mont-Joli as solid fallback options.
sepaq.com/pq/bic/

What are the local driving conditions like around Mont-Joli?

Driving an RV in and out of Mont-Joli is straightforward. Route 132 (the main coastal highway) and Autoroute 20 (which ends just west of Mont-Joli) are well-maintained, two-lane roads with wide shoulders, gentle curves, and few mountain passes. Watch for moose and white-tailed deer at dawn and dusk, especially in the Matapedia Valley to the south, where wildlife crossings are signed. Coastal fog can roll in fast along the St. Lawrence between May and July, so reduce speed and use low beams. In winter, blowing snow and black ice are common, which is why most local RV rentals operate May through October. Road signs are primarily in French; download offline maps before heading east.
quebec511.info/en/

What amenities will I find at Mont-Joli area campgrounds?

Bas-Saint-Laurent campgrounds are well set up for RVs. At Parc national du Bic you'll find semi-serviced (water and electricity) sites in several sectors, shower blocks, potable water fill stations, and a dump station near the visitor centre. Private parks like Camping Annie and Camping de la Mer typically offer 30-amp hookups, Wi-Fi, playgrounds, and beach access. For dumping tanks between stays, the SEPAQ dump station at Bic and stations in Rimouski are convenient. Top off your fresh water in Mont-Joli before heading east, as fill points get scarcer past Sainte-Anne-des-Monts.
sepaq.com/pq/bic/

What equipment comes with a motorhome rental in Mont-Joli?

A motorhome rental in Mont-Joli arrives ready to roll. Expect a full kitchen (propane stove, fridge, microwave, sink, cookware, dishes), a bathroom with toilet and shower, sleeping for 2 to 8 depending on size, a furnace and often air conditioning, fresh and grey water tanks, and seatbelts at every travel seat as required by Quebec law. Many hosts offer Wi-Fi hotspots, outdoor chairs, BBQs, and bedding or linen packages as add-ons. Generators are common in Class C motorhomes for off-grid stays. Each listing shows a detailed amenity checklist, so you'll know exactly what's included before booking your campervan rental in Mont-Joli or a larger motorhome.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mont-Joli%2C%20Quebec

What add-ons and pickup options can I expect in Mont-Joli?

Plenty of helpful options to customize your trip. Common add-ons in Mont-Joli listings include bedding and towel packages, kitchen kits, camping chairs, BBQs, bike racks, generator hours, kayaks, and Wi-Fi hotspots. Pickup is typically at the host's home in Mont-Joli, Sainte-Flavie, or nearby Rimouski, with delivery available for an additional fee that usually scales with distance. Mileage policies are clearly listed on every listing, with many hosts offering generous daily kilometre allowances. Ask your host for their favourite Gaspesie itinerary when you book. Locals know the best lobster shacks, hidden bays, and microbreweries that don't show up in guidebooks.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mont-Joli%2C%20Quebec

How does payment and the security deposit work?

Payment is simple and fully handled through RVezy, with no cash or e-transfers to the host. When you book, your rental total (nightly rate, fees, add-ons, and your chosen protection plan) is charged securely to your credit card. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment, typically pre-authorized on your card before pickup and released after the trip once the RV is returned in good condition. To avoid any issues, complete the walkthrough with your host at both pickup and return, take date-stamped photos of the interior and exterior, and report any damage right away through the RVezy platform.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-works

Can I take my Mont-Joli RV rental into the USA or other provinces?

Often yes, with a quick conversation first. Many Mont-Joli hosts allow cross-border travel into the USA (the closest crossings are in northern Maine via the Matapedia Valley) and into New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, and Ontario, as long as the host approves and the protection plan supports your route. Message the host directly before booking to confirm your itinerary and ensure coverage extends to your destination. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because the protection plan does not cover Mexico. Bring your passport, vehicle registration, and proof of your RVezy rental agreement for smooth border crossings.
