Camping near Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux
Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux sits in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, inland from the St. Lawrence Estuary between Trois-Pistoles and Rimouski. The village clusters around Lac Saint-Mathieu and Mont Saint-Mathieu, giving RV travellers a lake-and-mountain base within easy reach of the river coast. Bas St. Laurent KOA Resort (now branded Camping Bas-Saint-Laurent) sits directly on the sandy beach of Lac Saint-Mathieu, about fifteen minutes from Trois-Pistoles and under forty-five minutes from Rimouski, Rivière-du-Loup and Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, with a microclimate noticeably milder than the riverbank.
RVers using Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux as a hub can reach several distinct camping experiences in under an hour or two. Bic Provincial Park, managed by Sépaq, lies in the same Bas-Saint-Laurent region with its entrances off Route 132 between Saint-Fabien and Rimouski. Further east on the north shore of the estuary, the Bergeronnes area on Route 138 puts campers within sight of belugas and minke whales, while Camping Temilac Inc to the south offers freshwater lake camping on Lac Témiscouata.
Things to do in Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux
The Lac Saint-Mathieu shoreline is the local centre of gravity: swimming, paddling, a marina and Mont Saint-Mathieu hiking are all within easy reach of Bas St. Laurent KOA Resort. A short drive west, Bic Provincial Park packs in coastal hiking and cycling, with capes, bays and lookouts where seabirds nest and seals are commonly seen basking near the water. On the Côte-Nord shore of the estuary, Camping Paradis Marin and Camping Bon-Desir both back onto a deep channel where minke whales, fin whales, belugas and the occasional humpback can be seen from shore. Inland, Camping Temilac Inc fronts Lac Témiscouata for swimming, kayaking and cycling on one of Quebec's largest lakes.

Most campgrounds in this corner of Quebec run a tight May-to-October season. Bas St. Laurent KOA Resort typically opens in early May and closes in mid-October. Camping at Bic Provincial Park runs from mid-May to mid-October on its main serviced loops. Camping Paradis Marin operates from May 15 to October 10, and Camping Bon-Desir runs on a similar mid-May to mid-October window. Camping Temilac Inc on Lac Témiscouata generally runs mid-May to mid-September.
July and the first half of August are peak: the Quebec construction holiday in the last two weeks of July and the surrounding weeks fill riverfront sites quickly, especially the whale-view sites in the Bergeronnes area. Late June and the first week of September are quieter with similar daytime temperatures. Whale watching from shore is generally productive from May through October on the Côte-Nord side. Winter access is limited: at Bic Provincial Park, only the Porc-Épic sector offers winter camping, and those sites must be booked by phone with a minimum of two adults per group.

La van est formidable, confortable, roule bien et les photos de l'annonce reflètent exactement la bonne qualité des accessoires (moustiquaire, rideaux, ustensiles, etc.). Berthier est très gentil et il a pensé à tout ce qu'on pourrait avoir besoin en camping. Par ailleurs, il répond rapidement à toute communication. On ne peut pas demander plus. Je louerais à nouveau sa van sans hésitation!

Booking and how to reserve
Private campgrounds around Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone, and most accept debit, Visa and Mastercard. For Bic Provincial Park, bookings go through the Sépaq reservation system at sepaq.com, which handles all camping sectors including Rivière-du-Sud-Ouest, Rioux, Tombolo and the winter Porc-Épic sector. The park offers serviced and unserviced sites along with ready-to-camp units, all bookable online. Sépaq reservations for the summer camping season open in late winter and serviced RV sites at Bic sell out quickly for July and August weekends. Daily park access is separate from the campground booking, and purchasing a daily access pass online in advance is recommended. For peak-season stays at Bas St. Laurent KOA Resort, Camping Paradis Marin or Camping Bon-Desir, book several months ahead through each operator's website.
What to expect
Sites range from full-service RV pads to rustic tent platforms. At Bas St. Laurent KOA Resort, expect a resort-style family campground on Lac Saint-Mathieu, with a large heated pool and slide, kiddie pool, splashpad, spa, sandy beach, marina, kayak rentals and a mix of 30- and 50-amp sites plus cabins. At Bic Provincial Park, the Rivière-du-Sud-Ouest sector offers around 135 semi-serviced, single-service and two-service sites, while Rioux adds 41 semi-serviced sites and the Tombolo sector provides ready-to-camp units. Camping Paradis Marin and Camping Bon-Desir lean rustic and view-focused, with many unserviced or two-service sites and direct sight lines to the St. Lawrence. Cell coverage is reliable along Routes 132 and 138; Wi-Fi varies. Black flies and mosquitoes peak in June, ease by August. Evenings are cool even in midsummer; bring layers.
