Parking & Arrival
Keep in mind that you will be spending the night at PARC ARTHUR-LEPAGE, a municipal public rest area ABOUT A MILE AWAY from the Old Train Station. It is located at 164 St-Joseph N, Rivière-Bleue, QC, G0L 2B0. It is clean, has easy access and flat, level parking. Larger campers can just stay on the main drive (gravel) when you get in the park. Many spots for tents and smaller campers (back in) for more private and quiet resting time. PARKING AT THE OLD TRAIN STATION is only for the time of the visit of the museau and the arts&craft shop. It might be difficult for big RVs because of the proximity of the railroad. . We are sorry for the inconvenience. We recommend going to Parc Arthur-Lepage first, parking the camper, and go to the Old Train Station after. ON SITE at Parc Arthur-Lepage : - New washrooms - Water spigot - Covered platforms with picnic tables. - Actual camp sites with firepits, - nearby, a Gaz Station (located at 160 St-Josepth N.) and a dump station.
