Forillon National Park

Sea cliffs, seals and whales at the tip of Gaspé.

Parks Canada’s park at the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, where the Appalachians end in sea cliffs and seals, whales and seabirds are easy to spot. Three campgrounds hold 360 sites: Des-Rosiers near the sea on the north side, wooded Petit-Gaspé on the south side, and tent-only Cap-Bon-Ami under the cliffs. oTENTiks and the pod-style micrOcube and Ôasis units suit anyone without a tent.
