Traveling to Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux by RV

Route 132 serves as the primary access road to Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux, connecting seamlessly with Highway 20 from Quebec City and Montreal areas. This coastal route handles RVs of all sizes without weight restrictions or low bridge concerns, making navigation straightforward for even the largest motorhomes and fifth wheels.

Overnight parking options remain limited in the immediate area, with most RVers planning fuel stops in nearby Trois-Pistoles or Rimouski for extended services.

Summer months bring increased tourist traffic, particularly on weekends when ferry schedules to the north shore create temporary congestion.
