Quebec - Oct 2021

. 10 days

Our daughter, Sara, had the idea of going to Quebec City. We had never been there, so we hopped in the van and we were off.

We boondocked on a pier at Portneuf, about an hour and half outside of Quebec City. We commuted into the city and setup at a delightful spot beside the river. We walked to the old city and enjoy the sights. We boondocked for a couple of nights by parking in the city where overnight parking was permitted without a permit.

We also visited a Nordic spa, Strøm Spa Nordique, and slept in their parking lot with permission. It had a beautiful outlook over the river and was a great place to relax in many different hot tubs and saunas of varying temperatures.

We then explored the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. We boondocked at a spot suggested by iOverlander, spent the day at Baei-Saint Paul and then spent the next night at another iOverlander suggestion in Pointe-au-Pic.

We explored the Saguenay River and boondocked in the Saguenay city center, which was a suggestion from a Boondockers Welcome host who wasn't able to put us up.

We then went back to Quebec City, stopping at Jacques-Cartier National Park and met up with our dear friends, Teresa and Nino.

That night we returned to the pier at Portneuf to boondock.

We spent the next day in Montreal, where I met a business colleague.

That night we boondocked in Mac Johnson Wildlife Area near Kingston.

The last night we stayed at Presqu'ile Provincial Park.
