Pointe-aux-Outardes camping overview
Pointe-aux-Outardes is a small village municipality on the southern point of the Manicouagan Peninsula in Quebec's Côte-Nord region, set between the mouths of the Outardes and Manicouagan Rivers where they meet the St. Lawrence estuary. The area is best known for the Parc Nature de Pointe-aux-Outardes, a protected natural site with sandy beaches, salt marsh, dunes, and boreal forest that draws RV travellers looking for a quiet base on the North Shore.
The village sits along Route 138, the main highway that follows the St. Lawrence up the Côte-Nord, making it a logical overnight stop between Tadoussac and points farther east. RVers typically combine a stay here with side trips across the river to the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie regions, where additional provincial parks and riverside campgrounds extend the trip. Cell coverage, fuel, and groceries are available in nearby Baie-Comeau, a short drive east on Route 138.
Things to do near Pointe-aux-Outardes
The Parc Nature de Pointe-aux-Outardes is the area's main draw, offering hiking loops, guided tours, beach access, a salt-marsh observation tower, and birdwatching during spring and fall migration. The park protects several distinct ecosystems on a small peninsula jutting into the St. Lawrence estuary, and the fine sandy beach is suitable for swimming on warm summer days.
Further afield, RV travellers often cross to the south shore by ferry to reach Bic Provincial Park near Rimouski, known for its coves, capes, and seal viewing. East of Pointe-aux-Outardes, the Matane area offers river fishing, the Matane wildlife reserve for hiking and wildlife observation, and the salmon ladder in town. Sea kayaking, cycling on Route Verte segments, and stargazing under dark Côte-Nord skies round out the options.

The RV camping season on this stretch of the Côte-Nord is short. Most serviced campgrounds in the region operate from late May or early June through late September or mid-October, with the Parc Nature de Pointe-aux-Outardes campground running on a similar summer schedule. Parc national du Bic, across the estuary in the Bas-Saint-Laurent, offers camping from May through October, with yurts and rustic options extending into winter.
July and August are the peak months, when daytime temperatures are most comfortable and all park services, guided activities, and beach access are fully open. Black flies and mosquitoes are most active from late May into early July, especially inland near the Matane reserve. September brings cool nights, fewer bugs, and fall colours, but reduced services and shorter daylight. By late October, most private campgrounds have closed and overnight temperatures regularly drop below freezing.
How to book campgrounds near Pointe-aux-Outardes
Sépaq manages reservations for Quebec's national parks, including Bic Provincial Park and the John river sector of the Matane wildlife reserve. Bookings can be made online at sepaq.com or by phone, and summer campsites for the most popular parks tend to fill quickly once the reservation window opens in the winter, so booking several months ahead for July and August is recommended.
For private operators in the area, including Camping De La Mer, Camping Annie, and Camping De La Riviere Matane, reservations are taken directly through the campground's own website or by phone rather than through a central portal. Weekends in July and August often sell out, so contacting the campground well in advance is advisable.
What to expect when camping in Pointe-aux-Outardes
RV sites in the region range from fully serviced pads with electricity, water, and sewer at private operators like Camping De La Mer and Camping De La Riviere Matane to more rustic sites with shared sanitary buildings at the Parc Nature de Pointe-aux-Outardes and within Bic Provincial Park. Dump stations are commonly available at serviced campgrounds and at some Sépaq parks.
Expect cool nights even in summer due to the proximity of the cold St. Lawrence estuary, frequent coastal fog, and strong onshore winds on exposed sites. Cell signal is generally reliable in the villages along Route 138 but can fade in the Matane reserve interior. French is the working language for most operators, though English is widely understood at tourism sites.
