Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Bic National Park adventure.
Quebec’s most dramatic national park, where forested inlets meet rocky bay and harbour seals.
Set where the opposite bank of the St. Lawrence fades into the foggy distance, Bic National Park and its seaside forests present plenty of family-friendly hiking trails. For a panoramic view of the estuary and string of islets, hike the 346 metres of Pic Champlain. For a more challenging experience, head over to the rocky outcrops of Cap à l’Original at low tide. The Ferme Rioux Interpretation Centre is where most activities, such as sea kayaking, mountain biking, and yes, wildlife observation (there is a healthy population of outgoing seals at Anse-aux-Bouleaux), can be booked. Camping in Bic National Park is easily one of the most iconic things to do in Quebec. Luckily, there are over 20 options to choose from, ranging from rustic campsites to glamping cabins.
While Bic National Park is open year-round, some services may not be available in winter, and camping is only possible from May to October. As one of the few waterfront camping sites in Quebec, Bic camping sites are quite crowded at all times, but particularly so in the last week of June as well as the last week of July and first week of August due to provincial holidays.
