Adjacent to incredible parks and a massive fjord, Saguenay offers outdoor access and amenities.
Quebec's seventh most populated city, Saguenay offers a huge range of restaurants serving cuisines both local and international, an Air Defence Museum, the Val-Jalbert Historical Village (which takes you back to 1927), and all the amenities you might need. The city's proximity to the Rivière Saguenay fjord and many spectacular national parks is what makes it the perfect place to use as a basecamp for your Quebec camping trip, but even within the city, campers will find parks, trails, and campgrounds.
As a large city surrounded by all-season parks, Saguenay doesn’t have a bad time to visit. In summer, the city offers charms similar to those found in nearby Montreal and Quebec but without the crowds. Some area campgrounds and attractions close in winter, while May to October is prime whale-watching season.
