    We had an incredible time!! Our guide Terry Jo was INCREDIBLE (seriously, ask for him - you WON'T…read moreregret it). We recommend the full-day adventure and go with the chicken or vegetarian wrap for lunch and the for dinner I loved the salmon, but Drew was all about the steak and potatoes. Give yourself extra time to stick around for the video viewing after - so much fun to watch with all your rafting buddies :) Here's our post for more tips and awesome photos! http://mrandmrsadventure.com/2015/07/14/nouveau-monde-whitewater-rafting-down-canadas-epic-riviere-rouge/

    I give this company a D-minus for their first aid / emergency preparedness and I deduct points for…read moretouching without consent. I was injured going over the "washing machine" rapid. The boat flipped up and I fell from the raft onto a rock. I landed face first but managed to take the brunt of the impact on my shoulder / arm. I was pressed to sign a release form saying "Refused treatment" while I was dripping wet, shivering and in shock. -- Not cool. After I came to my senses, I asked to be taken to a hospital but was told no driver was available. -- Not cool. Later, when my friend was later injured on the same rock (cut to arm resulting in a strong flow of bright red blood), our guide was nowhere to be found. On the shore, it was me, with my injured arm, who administered first aid. Don't be fooled -- you can be seriously hurt while rafting. If you are hurt I would not expect this company to do anything for you in terms of first aid. Last but not least, when doing safety demonstrations, our guide reached straight for the most diminutive woman, out of four, with our group of 20. He then proceeded to show how you would pull someone into the raft, roll them over etc... ie a lot of body contact and touching -- without seeking consent from the woman ("I am going to take hold of your life jacket and pull up. OK?"). This should be an immediate red flag.

    Oh, bummer to do this but hafta down my score for this place on account on several inconveniences:…read more 1- You can only book one tent per site at 30$ a night ...u are allowed a 2nd tent on some sites...but hafta pay a whole extra 30$ for it. 2- They charge park access fees (10$/ adult PER DAY) ON TOP of the camping fees (ex: 2 adults for 2 nights of camping plus 3 days access fees = 120$!!! That's unforgivably expensive considering our Ontarian neighbours don't pull this sh*t). 3- You cannot fish off any site or dock or beach...fishing only allowed via boat. So add a boat rental of 30$ for the cheapest for 1 day to ur costs...at this point ur a third of the way to Cuba ... Other than that my previous review still applies: Oh YAY!! What a treat to find such an almost perfect campground so close to home, Québec represent no less: And dog friendly!!!!! Location: Up north in the mountains in the Laurentians just south of Tremblant. Campsites: Such variety!! Fairly private even if u can see ur neighbors. Something for everyone I guarantee it. Rustik camping, trailer camping with services, canoe camping (which include the canoe to get to ur site), treehouses (which include the wheelbarrows to trek ur stuff there), they've got it covered!! We stayed at Bourdon #10 and it was huge (photos)!!! Beautiful view and access to Lac Bonnet (the tinier lake in this park). In fact any of the Bourdon sites were totally nice (site #8 less so because of the layout and #9 less so because of the angle). Bourdon 10 has 2 firepits one of which is right next to the water (which we didn't use because of the wind). It also has a sweet platform of dirt bordered by rocks to pitch ur tent so ur not on an angle. Scenery: This huge awesome campground is surrounded (literally) by many lakes, mountains and gorgeous typical Québec forestry with the largest variety of wild mushrooms you've likely seen anywhere! Weather: Mountain weather, colder and switches quickly to pouring rain. Bring warm gear and lots of water proof stuff, put up a rain shelter stat. Commodities/Accommodations: - DOGS ALLOWED! I do believe there's some petty 2$ charge or sumthin for bringing ur pooch, but it's worth it! Dogs are even welcome on all the hiking trails here!! - Store is also the entrance kiosk with everything you could possibly want: including coffee via Keurig machine! (See photo) All overpriced for what it is but convenient none the less. - Outhouse/ Vault bathrooms as well as full running water/flushing bathrooms; showers; laundry facilities; only ONE area to get drinking water from though and that's all the way at the Pavillion (See photos) - recycling at limited spots, garbage a bit more accessible near each loop: they're the things that look like chicken coops. Prices: see the photos, but also of note they do charge u not only for ur night of camping but also access to the park...so price is pretty expensive per night when u add 2 adults access plus a night of camping, but it's worth it- take advantage of the trails and you'll see what I mean. - Keurig coffees 2$ each for small coffees....but decent and much appreciated! - ice 2.69, 2.99 (plus tax) for cubes or block respectively - wood 10$ per bundle (tax included) crappy wet wood, some bundles bigger than others, but at least 1 bundle per night u stay is included in ur initial costs... We went through 3 bundles in one night and couldn't have a fire the other night cuz of rain. Activities: - So mannnny hiking trails!!! We only did 2 this time (the Sentier des Hêtres which at somepoint u become a walking mosquito buffet and the Panoramique which is quite the work out, soooooo beautiful and worth it, less mosquitos, but still spray!) - Many lakes to fish in (though neither us, nor anyone else we saw fishing in Lac Bonnet caught anything at all over 48 hours of fishing at all different times of day and depths of lake) - Boats to rent for super reasonable prices (photo) - Educational workshops at the Pavillion - A small beach/swimming area, volleyball court, kids parks ...u name it they got it. Wildlife: Saw a bald eagle fly by, plenty of tiny other birds, plenty of small bats in the evening, saw a couple little toads. There was soooooo mannnnnnyyyyy mosquitos, not so much at the camp sites but swarms in some parts of the trails: bring bug spray and use generously!! Otherwise though fairly good bug wise, a few annoying bees but nothing a couple swats can't fend off. (Saw a weasle 2018!) Overall we friggen loved this place so much, will definitely be regulars here and are so happy we discovered this huge secret! I'm sharing it with u all but don't muck it up!! Share the love respectfully!
