What a great park for getting away!
We camped here for two nights in the Sablon camp ground. This campground has no water or bathroom facilities (just outhouses). We chose it as we were warned the others campgrounds had very clustered, non private sites. We were very pleased with the campground we chose.
For the first night, we had the campground entirely to ourselves! No other sites were reserved. The outhouses were very clean and well maintained. There was a lake nearby great for watching wildlife. On the second night, another site was reserved, but the sites are well enough spaced that we had our privacy. Wood is provided.
We hike "la traverse". It is a short 3km trail with a nice suspended bridge. Even thought it is short, there is lots to see on the trail. Keep an eye out for the beautiful gorges and rock formations towards the end!
We also visited the beach at one of the other campgrounds. For about an hour, we had the beach to ourselves too! very quiet. Even as people started to show up, there was plenty of room for everyone. The water is COLD! But hey, it's Abititbi. Sand toys are provided for the kids and there is a cute playground.
If you can make the drive, I highly recommend this place. Lots to explore. I which we would have...

Nice place to get away for a long weekend. There's camping, canoeing, biking and hiking at the park. If you like to take to the waters, there's plenty of space to pedal your canoe / kayak. You can bike out in some trails. A short hike gets you to a nice suspension bridge that looks over the valley. The park rangers / staff are friendly, and knowledgeable about what the park has to offer, like in most Canadian parks. The place is quiet (depends on your fellow campers, of course). I've camped here a couple of times. The washrooms are clean and well-lit. Not sure if this is true for all campsites, but the ones that I have used were not drive-in campsites. This was great because you didn't have to deal with vehicle noises while in your tent. There are small buggys that you can use to take your stuff from your car to the campsite. Firewood is available at the campsite. Firewood price is similar to other parks. You will need a small axe, as they do not have kindling. If you are going in late-spring / early summer, make sure that you check if the bugs are still around. A phone call to the park...

Booked the Vice Roi cabin from August 28 to September 3. On arrival, we entered the cabin. The cabin was very nice, but not very clean. We started to open up the cupboard doors and observed mice feces. We cleaned it up and continued to unpack. Later on that evening, we left the cabin to go for a walk. We returned approximately 1 hr later, to find several mice running around with new feces on our bedding! Also, feces was found in the kitchen on the cupboards and in the drawers. We could not find any staff in the park and the nearest town with a hotel was an 1 hr away, so we packed back up and drove into town only to find no rooms available, so we drove 7 hrs to home at 10 pm. that same night. I contacted Sepaq head office and was told they are refusing to issue a refund and blamed me as they found some moth balls in the cabin and quoted their rules saying I should have left their cabin the...
