Very nice lakeside camping area next to Lake Manicouagan accessed via public boat ramp. Beautiful views of lake. There is a small spot tucked in the trees to block the wind that worked very well. No cell service. Enough room for a few vehicles, scattered. Miscellaneous fire rings and some old chairs on the shore. There are some cabins nearby, very close, but blocked by trees. They were vacant with no activity during my stay, but proximity gave me pause. Evaluate upon arrival. Recommended!

This is off of route 398 in northern Quebec. It is a length of road that is very clear on both side for a couple of miles. Possibly old gravel pit, but seemingly disused. Spacious for camping any number of vehicles. Great for star gazing. Not many trees. Runs parallel to beautiful river. No cell service. There is a private cabin tucked away at the very end of the road. Overall a nice spot. Recommended, especially if traveling to or from Labrador.

A very remote, secluded, clearing near Grand lac du Nord. Close to lakes, but lakes are not visible from site. Most lakeside sites in this area are occupied by private cabins. This is a very nice, flat, private spot, spacious enough for two vehicles, and surrounded by young conifers. No cell service. No fire ring. Lovely wilderness. Recommended.

A secluded ravine on the shore of the St. Laurence. Not flat, and not much room, so not ideal for vehicle camping, but one or two vehicles can squeeze in. Very convenient to highway 138. Close to pavement, but four-wheel drive required, which limits traffic. Though some trucks and ATVs will pass. Relatively short drive to Baie-Comeau. This is a beautiful spot, with good cell service, a couple of benches, and a small fire ring. Listen to the surf at night. Recommended.

A gravel roadside parking area for the Uapishka Mountains trailhead. Very spacious and directly at the side of the highway. Trucks are loud at night, but if you are tired from a hike, it is a perfectly fine place to sleep. No fire rings or amenities. Surrounded my rolling mountains, and only a very short drive from Lake Manicouagan. There may be other hikers or vehicles parked here. No cell service.

Site 30 at Jacques-Cartier National Park. A very nice spot a short walk from the visitor center. Spacious enough for two or three vehicles. Fire pit. Picnic table. Running water. Just across the street from heated bathroom with outdoor sinks and free showers! The park itself has dramatic mountains and a river that runs through it. Great for photography and hiking. No cell service. Recommended.

A small gravel clearing along a short road to access the lake. Primitive with fire ring, and enough room for two vehicles. On hillside but parking area is flat. No cell service. A short walk down the hill is the lake with a dock and a gazebo and another fire ring. It is very nice by the water, but there is no space for passenger vehicles to park there. Wooded area with logging very close. Very remote and private. Recommended.

A parking lot with signs that allow 24 hour parking next to municipal park. This is within the lovely town of Shawinigan and an improvised place to discreetly spend the night. Other van dwellers might also be here. There were portable toilets during my visit. Not a campsite. No fire ring. Picnic tables and lovely park nearby. Very short walk to coffee, beer, public library. It is an ideal spot to stop for business. Be discreet. Some traffic and park visitors, but quiet at night.

This spot does not have a fire ring but it should because it is perfect. Along a rugged four-wheel drive road, there is this pull-off that looks like it used to be a small very old sand pit. What remains is a small clear spot flanked by wooded mounds that were cut out years ago. These provided exceptional barriers against the wind. The road itself is used for recreational four-wheel drive and dead-ends at the top of the mountain, so traffic is low. Some cell service. Flat. Enough room for two or three vehicles. Recommended.

A very nice fee camping area that is remotely located in a wildlife preserve. Surrounded by conifers and deciduous with lakes in close proximity. There are pit toilets here and primitive stone fire rings. Popular destination during peak season. No cell service. Enough room for one or two vehicles per site. There will likely be other people camping here, both in ground tents and in vehicles. Recommended if you desire a maintained primitive camping destination.

A superb primitive campsite at the end of a sandy road spur with a simple stone fire ring. A sandy hill descends to the river featuring a small beach. Coniferous setting and recently logged nearby. Spacious enough for a few vehicles with a grove of trees you can tuck into. No cell service. Some audible traffic on nearby dirt road, but out of sight from main artery. Designated free campsite. Recommended.

A old disused road next to the main forest road. This is just a flat spot where I spent the night. It is not a proper campsite. I got passed by a ranger and he told me that it was not okay to camp here. I explained that my Jeep was broken and that it would not start after the accident, and he allowed me to stay the night. Not recommended unless emergency.

Secluded lake access under a grove of conifers well off the beaten track. Very lovely site. Floor of pine needles. No fire ring or amenities but do not let that stop you from camping here. Enough room for two or three vehicles. Bring your canoe or kayak. No cell service. Wooded area with private lakeside cabins nearby. Very private. Recommended.

A lakeside camping area with a rustic fire ring and picnic tables. There is a pit toilet here. Very secluded and remote though there is a possibility of a truck or ATV going by. Popular for fishing and hunting. Wooded area with mix of deciduous and conifers. No cell service. Recommended.

A flat spot at the side of a four-wheel drive road, a relatively short drive from the city of Mont-Tremblant. Wooded hillside. Some cell service. Enough room for two or three vehicles. Quiet night. Did not see a soul though passing ATV is likely. Not a proper campsite. No fire ring. Selected this spot due to privacy and proximity to town. Unremarkable.

A designated camping area next to a lake with stone fire rings, picnic tables, and portable toilets. I believe this is a fee campground that requires reservation during the summer and is likely very busy. However, during off-season I had the whole place to myself and could find no information about fees or site booking. Serene wooded area off a logging road. Lake with islands. No cell service. Enough room for a few vehicles. Recommended.
