Looking for a new adventure, somewhere we have not been to yet in eastern Canada and The Magdalen Islands have us interested. Any advice on where to stay and which campground? There are several we have seen on the web. We tow a 34' TT and prefer to set up camp and stay therefore 3 way service.We are thinking late August early September when the crowds are gone after the Acadian festival. One or two weeks. The cost for the ferry return is $1K so we want to make sure we enjoy our stay and not be rushed.Oldcow

I stayed at Parc de gros cap a few years ago and it was a really nice place, it's not far the ferry and close to amenities.Another place is Camping des sillons. Next time I go back I plan to stay there. Mind you both places are excellent.As it's late in the season it will be fairly quite and you stated most of the crowds are gone.

Did you experience much of the local cuisine and entertainment? Was it worth the price to get there to at least see it once?Oldcow

There was lots of activities during the time I stayed but that was the end of July and the beginning of August but I don't think there will be much going on during the time period that you want to go.

We are looking for tranquility and good food. While talking with the agent at the ferry reservations, she tells me that's what we will find during that time of year. I also called the Camping Sillon and will be reserving site 71 once we make up our mind this week.Looking forward to it.Oldcow

We go to Magdalen Islands every summer . We love it there and have relatives there . We use a class B Roadtrek and stay at Camping des Sillons . Its very nice and right next to a beach 22 km long The owners are friendly and you will love it there . If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask .
