Hi Chris,

I just did the Gaspesia tour.

Here is a couple of tips/nice things to see:

As said, the 132 road is nice. Among the nicest villages was Kamouraska.
Many around the coast are nice too. (St-Jean Port-Joli).

I found a camping that is great, outdoor and enviromentally orientated:
it's call Halte Ecologique des battures (in St-andre-de-Kamouraska, 20
km west of Rivière-du-Loup).
http://www.kam.qc.ca/bienven/ohk/nature/n_halte.html (it's in French)

Parc du bic is also an excellent place to stop. it's a national Park.
great hiking and view

You have to book in advance for camping for both. There are also some
possibilities of stealth camping in St-Fabien-sur-Mer (only 1 road),
right by the beach, it's a small village between the mountain and the
St-Lawrence river. while st-fabien is on th 132.

We stopped at a B&B in Le Bic (in the village du bic, right by the park).
La Maison de Marie-Victor
266, Sainte-Cécile, Le Bic. (418) 736-4806
The guy offerred us to camp on his land, with showers and everything.
for free.
