Montreal Layover


13 June,2012  Camping Alouette Resort, Montreal Canada.  We arrived here late in the afternoon.  The trip in from New Brunswick was brutal to say the least.  The first several hours we encountered miserable rain and fog, with miles of narrow bumpy roads and large sections of road construction.  And then our directions were not correct and we got off at the wrong exit and got lost in one of the suburban areas.  Never fun being lost pulling a fifth wheel down neighborhood streets with low trees and nowhere to turn around.  Oh and not to mention all the signs are in French and no one speaks English.  We did however find one young girl that new a little English and was able to put us in the right direction. (kinda)  It turned out if we had gone down to the next exit, we would have seen the campground sign and been fine. 

     We finally made it to the park.  Woodalls rates this park very highly, and it was in fact very nice.  Our pull thru’s were very nice and level with full hook ups. Wi-fi was available for an extra $5 a day. ( No cable TV) This park was a little out of our normal budget at $41 a night.  Note:  they collect a $20 deposit on their gate entry card.  If you plan on leaving before 8am you will need to turn this card back in the night before, as the office doesn’t open until 8am.  We were ready to pull out at 730 that morning but had to wait until the office opened.  They did have a nice little restaurant at the gate where we had breakfast until the office opened.  I would rate this park a 8 out of 10.  I would go back there again.  However, Montreal is on the bottom of my list for return trips.
