Day -1 Ivy Lea Campground

Length of Stay: 2 nights
Visited: 12-14 August 2023

The time has arrived we are packed, hooked up, and ready to pull out of the drive...wait Susan forgot to shut the door. Done, done, and done. Away we go. This is the start of our 5 week trip to Gaspesie also known as the Gaspe Peninsula. The area is in Quebec sandwiched between the Gulf of St Lawrence River and Chaleur Bay, but more on this later.

The drive today is 318 miles or 512 km taking us through Toronto  and along the north side of the St Lawrence River. With the normal slowdowns going through Toronto and for construction we made it to Ivy Lea Campground around 4pm.

We set up took the dogs for a walk, had supper, and relaxed after a good days drive.

Ivy Lea Campground is one of many facilities operated by the St Lawrence Parks Commission. The park is situated in the heart of the Thousand Islands along the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve. The park offers 146 campsites most with electricity and water. If you are a boater or scuba diver this is paradise.

Ivy Lea Campground is located at the base of the Ivy Lea Suspension Bridge which spans the St Lawrence between Canada and the United States on one side and the 1000 Island Parkway on the other. It can be a little noisy at times.

Time to relax and get ready for more adventures tomorrow.
