We booked this camping because it intimate, wooded, by the river and in a natural surrounding. It did not disappoint. When we arrived, every thing was ready for us by the staff. It was very efficient. The bathroom and showers are super clean.
The only thing that was negative and has nothing to do with the campground was our neighbor.
She decided to keep their RV lights on all night.
Stargazing was not part of our stay. The next day, I asked her extremely politely if she forgot to shut down the lights the night before. She was very defensive and thought my request was unreasonable. Finally she said that she will turn them off the next night.
Later on the day she tells me that her husband told her that the lights cannot be turned off. In other words they didn’t want to do it.
The next night, obviously the lights were still on. Out of spite they added more lights.
This is a municipal campground and the most interesting thing is and the lady in question that occupies that seasonal lot is head administrator at the town hall.
She is not aware of camping etiquette and the negative effects of light pollution for the surrounding nature. She told me that these guidelines are not applicable in Matane. Very unpleasant lady that hopefully it doesn’t represent it’s citizens.
