Food/supplies:
We have some basics at the reception. A quite complete convenience store (Dépanneur Bilodeau) can be found 3 km away. Fair-size grocery stores are in Rivière-au-Renard (Marché Ami Alban Aspirault and Épicerie Coop). There is also a SAQ (to purchase alcohol and spirits) in Rivière-au-Renard.
You will find near a dozen restaurants within 10 km of the campground.
There are 2 fish markets in Rivière-au-Renard, both located near the harbour, in the industrial park. One is Les Pêcheries Gaspésiennes and the other is Marinard.
Rivière-au-Renard also has a few hardware stores, for your camping needs.
Money:
There are 2 ATMs in Rivière-au-Renard (Desjardins and National Bank). Take note that these are the only ATMs in the Forillon peninsula. There is a TD bank branch in Gaspé. There are no Royal Bank or Scotiabank branches nearby.
You may pay for your purchase at the campground with cash, visa, mastercard or debit cards.
Gas/Propane:
There are some gas stations a few kilometers from the campground, in l’Anse-au-Griffon (Station Service Forillon and Garage Raymond Chouinard).
Some stores in Rivière-au-Renard do tank exchanges. You may get your tank filled up at Dépanneur Chez Marc. If you need direct propane service to your motorhome, you will find it at Station Philippe Côté and Irving Oil in Gaspé.
Medical Services:
There is a CLSC (community service centre) with limited doctor presence in Rivière-au-Renard. For medical assistance, choices are often the emergency room of the Gaspé hospital (35 minutes away) or the Grande-Vallée CLSC (60 minutes away). While Grande-Vallée is farther, the wait time is usually a fraction of the emergency room’s. Please come to see us at the reception if you need medical assistance, we will be happy to point you in the right direction. Of course, in case of an emergency contact the local services promptly by dialing 9-1-1.
