Day 10 - Carleton-sur-Mer

Length of Stay: 5 nights
Visited: 21-26 August 2023

The drive to Carleton-sur-Mer campground went pretty much as planned. Left at 10 and got here just after lunch. We stopped a few times for doggy pee breaks and a scenic lookout moment which turned out to be not so scenic.

Carleton-sur-Mer campground is almost totally surrounded by water. On one side you have Chaleur Bay and on the other is the barachois(a shallow lagoon formed by a sand bar). There are a total of 305 sites ranging from dry campsites to sites with all amenities plus an outdoor covered kitchen area. Our site backed up to Chaleur Bay with New Brunswick visible on the other side of the bay. All sites are very spacious with lots of room between your neighbour.

Check in was one of the fastest I've ever encountered. In and out in 3 minutes with map in hand away we go.

Washrooms

The lighthouse near the campground is located at Pointe Tragadigache. It is a replica of the original that burnt down in 1970.

Playground for kids

The view from the front of our site is of Mont Saint-Joseph. We are hoping to make the climb up there tomorrow...in the truck of course.

After supper we took a nice walk along the beach, the wind was still quite blustery but it was warm. Susan said I did good in choosing this campsite.
