The location is just far enough out of the center of town to be quiet, and close enough to be handy to day trips or shopping. The cottage was comfortable, and well stocked with everything we needed. The wood stove was especially nice as we we had some wet and cold evenings. The QR code entry/exit system does get a bit to get used to (there is a bit of a trick of where to place your phone), but once you get it you're in/out quickly. The only thing I would change is the dishes, the cups and bowls were *tiny* LOL

We camped for one night. The campsites are nice and wooded and the amenities block was clean and well maintained. It was quiet after 10:30pm and a nice place to stay except for one thing. If you go camping for the fresh air, don’t come here. The air was heavy with smoke from all of the camp fires. I would love to see campgrounds offer smoke free areas that are carefully planned out to be upwind (based on prevailing winds) or have a single campfire area that is well removed from the rest. It’s disgusting to leave the stink of the city to end up in a cloud of heavy smoke in a campground.

We were here for literally 10 minutes, if not 5, and we had the worst customer service in a long time. The person, I am pretty sure her name was Bernadette (as seen in other reviews), was a total b word with us, saying we needed to pay 10 bucks per person just to visit our friends who just arrived. She was so mean and she wouldn’t let go even though we said multiple times that it’s okay we understand and all. But she stayed cold and insulting, almost abusing us verbally. So yeah, wouldn’t recommend at all

We stayed in one of the smaller chalets with a view over the bay. The view was good and the chalet was clean. But that is all I can really say in its favour. The bed was a catastrophe - small and sagging. The kitchenette turned out to be a two-plate cooker hidden in a drawer and nowhere to put it if you wanted to cook. There was no water cooker (we heated the water for our tea in the microwave) no proper coffee machine (only a nespresso machine and just two free coffees). To use the cooker we had to clear everything off the set of drawers. Washing up was equally difficult - the sink was minute and at the other end of the room. The fridge was tiny. There was practically no kitchenware.There was nowhere to put clothes or suitcases and nowhere to sit inside except on the soggy bed. The bed was not made - the folded sheets were on the bed and we had to make it ourselves. The hottub/bathtub was huge, but the space could have been utilized for installing a small kitchen unit instead. Internet was complicated and not free. The owners said if we wanted to cook we should have taken one of the larger chalets. As we were only two people and a kitchenette was advertised we had planned on catering for ourselves, otherwise we could have stayed at a B+B in town for the same price or even less. This was the most expensive accommodation in our 4 weeks Canada trip and by far the worst. A total rip off. Avoid!…

It was better than I expected. Excellent chalet - fully equipped, staff was very friendly and helpful. I agree though with others about the chintzy internet deal. One hour per device is not a good way to do it. At lease they should regulate it by traffic, bot by time logged in. If you forget to log out, your session continues anyway. But hey - you're there to enjoy nature. And Tadoussac has free wifi. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

We arrived after a long drive. Pleasantly surprised. It was beautiful chalet/cabin. Clean, everything is provided in the kitchen when it comes to kitchen ware.lots of spacs. My daughter had the pull out couch in the living room. Very comfortable pull out couch.the fire pit it a great design out side. The rope obstacle course is hard to walk to. But if you drive for a min up the very steep hill. It is awesome and extremely beautiful all during the rope obstacle. Domaine de dunes. Is only a 3 or 4 min drive to the sand dunes. The dunes are grand and beautiful. We spent many hrs playing walking and exploring there. Getting down is easy. Getting back up can be physically hard. But if you walk to the very end of the beach on the left there is an awesome path through the forest that brings you back up. The town of Tadoyssac is only a 5 min drive. Tons to do there too, lots of gift shops and restaurants. Also beautiful views. The marine museum was way to over priced and it was one small room you could walk through then a gift shop. Cost us a lot of money.there is a 1 km hike right beside it though which is free and if you go in the evening you can see whales in the water close to the rocks. We also did the zodiac whale watching tour. It was awesome. There not kidding when they tell you to wear sweaters and warm clothes. Even if the temperature is warm on land it gets super cold out there. Worth it though to do the zodiac tour.we ended our trip by driving over to Baie to Catherine to get on a helicopter $50 a person. And 2npassangers at s time. This was also short but amazing. Well worth it. My family will be going back here again one day great town, and loved Domaine de dunes. Very happy. By the way there english around town but also at domaine de dunes was great.…

We arrived later than we had wanted and booked a site for one tent. The site itself was tiny, barely enough room for a small 3 person tent. Most of the sites won't allow parking the car on it, if you have one of those tents that join to the car be aware of that. Many even have parking across the 'road' so our neighbours were constantly in and out of their car. And note that sites are very close together, so if you're looking for any privacy whatsoever, this is not the place. We were awakened at night by whoever was in charge of security that wanted to check the "permit" even if it was clearly visible on the car windshield, this person did not announce themselves or even carry a light, and was dressed in dark clothing, you wouldn't expect the staff to approach and surprise guests that way at night. Since we asked for privacy we were given a site at the top of the hill; however we were not told about the rather steep incline to reach it, both by car and by foot. The showers and toilets are located in the main part of the campground, towards the entrance, so if in summer you plan to take a shower and tuck in for the night be prepared to be plenty sweaty once you make your way back uphill. There is another toilet located in the high part of the campground, a dry toilet that is in pitiful condition (and this coming from wilderness campers!). We have seen much better situations in portapotties at the end of two-day long concerts... In the morning, we were surprised to find out that the showers are coin operated (quarters only). We had not been advised of this, nor was there a change machine available... so we had to wait until 9:00 when the office opened to get some change. For almost $40/night, we really expected better... While there was wifi with a strong signal, we weren't able to connect to it. On the positive, there is a gate that guests have to scan in/out of so it's relatively secure. And there are lots of trees... But stay elsewhere if you have a choice (there are also coin operated showers available right in town if you're up for boondocking).…

The tenting sites were very small relative to the $35.00 nightly fee. The sites were so incredibly small that there was no room to install the bug tent over the ridiculously small picnic table. Campers have to walk directly through other sites, often uncomfortably close to other tents or people sitting down to eat, just to gain access to their own site. This created a noisy environment which lacked in privacy as we could see and hear what everyone was doing. Although, one could enjoy a campfire without actually building one as we sat only two metres from our neighbour’s campfire. The comfort station, was seriously inadequate for the number of people who needed to use it. There were only two shower stalls and two toilets in each of the ladies and men’s room to service the dozens of sites. Often there was only one functioning toilet and the showers are expensive at $1.00 for four measly minutes. Just one minute extra to shower would have made a huge difference thus minimizing the need to spend another dollar for an extra minute or two. During the evening we could never shower much before 11:00 pm due to the long line up at the showers. The “free” WIFI was a joke. I logged on for 10 minutes and logged out, then back on a few minutes later and I was prompted with a message telling me that I had exceeded my WIFI usage for the day. This happened each day whenever I tried to access the WIFI. We have camped at many private campgrounds and this has been by far the worst. It seems that the owners care more about maximizing their profits by cramming in as many campers as they legally can than the actual comfort of their customers. I would not recommend this campground to anyone.…

Terrible stay. This place is nice beside having met the a worker named Bernadette. She has confronted us 5-6 times with all kind of complaints like: ...your car is not properly parked..(5th wheel 28ft with pickup doesn't feet the spot, even though we've mentioned our 5th wheel size, while reserving the stay., not allowed to unload your truck on the spot..., don't burn wood picked on the ground- 100$ fine..., 11pm without being too loud (we are 35-65years of age with kids), she came up telling us to Shut Up?! Not being nice at all!!! Another group of people, foreign students were chilling without bothering anybody -she confronted them as well. She yelled at us and cursed at us, saying to get out of camping in 10mins. Finally she called the police, I would rather call police myself for such discrimination and racism. Police came over, saw that we are quite and compliant. Excused them selves and told us to make sure that their not gonna be called again. She has ruined our vacation, pissed us off. We'll never come back to this place again. Being in many campings before, but this lady just blew our mind.…

Rented a chalet a few days before getting there on the phone for 1 night for myself and 2 young kids. Already quite expensive but the amenities seemed very good. Got there and watched a couple arguing with the front desk about wi-fi and how the regulations are not clearly stated anywhere, and that they are ridiculous. Not a good sign off the bat. When it was our turn to register, they claimed they had booked it for 2 adults only, that they would have to charge me for the extra person on the spot, while my carsick children were pretty much turning green lying down on the couch in the waiting room of the main office from the long drive. When I tried to explain to them that they messed up the booking, and that it would be ridiculous for me to pay an extra chunk of money for something they messed up on, on an already expensive rental for only 15 hours of stay, and that I just wanted to go to the chalet as my kids were not well on the drive here and threw up a couple of times. The girl behind the counter understood but said that she could not do anything, so I asked to speak to a manager. After explaining to the manager the same thing over again, she balked and dismissively said that it is their policy, that I should have checked the receipt they sent to my email address (which was in junk mail), it's not their fault that my kids aren't feeling well, and that they'd have to charge me the whole new amount. I asked to just pay the deposit then and leave, and they said they'd charge my credit card the whole new amount anyhow, so it was up to me. A little more understanding and empathy on their part would have gone a long way. Zero customer service skills on the part of the manager. The chalet was impeccable though, as is the campground itself.…
