Gaspesie – July 8th – 16th We’re headed for the hills !
The Moncton Outdoor Enthusiasts 2023 camping trip will be in the Parc national de la Gaspésie national park, in Quebec.
Join us for 7 days of hiking and spectacular mountain scenery.
Just an update to provide a bit of information to assist with planning your trip and to start a list of attendees.
Each person is responsible for transportation to and from the park and for booking their own camping site or other accommodation. There is no section of the Mont-Albert campground reserved for our group but several people are booked near Site 62.

- Block and cubed ice plus a few supplies are available at Visitor Center (the nearest stores are in Ste-Anne-des-Monts (40km)
- Gas is only available in Ste-Anne-des-Mont so fill up before you head inland from the coast.
A tentative schedule will be prepared and distributed in advance of the trip. There will be seven days of hiking with alternate hikes on some of the days so we will need volunteers to lead some hikes. Trail information will be provided to leaders prior to the trip.
