Saguenay Fjord National Park Baie-Éternité Campground
Baie-Éternité hugs the shoreline of the Saguenay Fjord with 127 sites split between wooded and waterfront locations. The campground provides heated washrooms, hot showers, and interpretive trails leading to dramatic cliff overlooks above the fjord. Sites 90-127 offer direct water views but fill quickly during summer. The nearby visitor center runs evening programs about marine life and Inuit culture.
Open mid-May through mid-October with peak beluga whale activity July-September. Reservations essential for waterfront sites during whale season. Access via Route 170 is paved but winding through dense boreal forest. Morning mist off the fjord can linger until noon, creating ethereal conditions for photography but challenging tent drying situations.
