Late Tuesday afternoon brought another adventure in trying to find a campground for the night (note to self: in the future, do not try camping in Quebec the first week of August); we even drove 10 miles on a bumpy dirt road to a campground that had a beautiful ad in the official regional tourist guide, only to find that the place was not completed yet and not yet scheduled to open.
We eventually landed at the municipal campground in the small town of Peribonka, on the shore of Lac St. Jean. It turned out to be one of those unexpected gems – clean, well cared for, and uncrowded. We were given a site in a new section that had only two other RV’s, occupied by two friendly bilingual French Canadian families travelling together. Their children took an instant liking to Gracie and Abby, and vice versa, so we were invited to join them around their campfire; Julie and Derek provided the guitar music and singing, and the evening was spent laughing and telling stories, the way camping should be!
