Das Eigentum — Camp Makivvik
Camp Makivvik sits on the shore of Lac Kénogami, just outside Jonquière, with a functional, pine-panelled lobby that smells of woodsmoke and clean lake air. It’s a three-star with cabins and lodge rooms aimed squarely at outdoorsy travellers who want kayak hire, hiking trails and a campfire rather than room service. Works best for families or small groups who value location over luxury, and don’t mind shared bathroom blocks in the cabin section.
Chroniken von Quebec
Saguenay (then Chicoutimi) was founded in the 1670s as a fur-trading post at the confluence of the Saguenay and Chicoutimi rivers. Industrialisation came with pulp and paper mills in the 19th century, reshaping the town around factory housing and rail lines. The 1996 Saguenay Flood destroyed large parts of the district, prompting a rebuild that blended modern infrastructure with the original grid. Today, Jonquière and Chicoutimi form a single urban area, Ville de Saguenay, where French-Canadian culture is strong and the local economy leans on aluminium production and tourism to the fjord.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Quebec-Guide →Die besten Monate
June to August: temperatures sit 15–25°C, long daylight hours, lake swim-able and hiking trails clear. July is busiest but best for events; August still warm with fewer crowds.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak, driven by La Fabuleuse Histoire d’un Royaume (a major historical pageant in La Baie) and the Saguenay International Balloon Festival. Hotel prices at Camp Makivvik can double from a low season C$120 to C$220+ per night. Book by February to secure a cabin.
Budget Schulter Saison
September and October: temperatures drop to 10–18°C, foliage peaks mid-October, rates fall by 30–40% and you’ll have trails and whale-watching tours to yourself. Early June is also shoulder, with cheaper rooms and still-crisp air.
Wetter & Verpackung
Saguenay’s climate flips quickly from warm sun to cold squalls off the fjord, even in July. Pack a waterproof shell and a fleece layer, plus long trousers for evening campfires; shorts are fine midday but useless after 7 pm.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Quebec
- Route 170 between Jonquière and La Baie is undergoing bridge repairs until late 2026, adding 10–15 minutes of detour via Route 172 – plan extra drive time if heading to the fjord.
- The Saguenay–Saint-Laurent Marine Park opened a new visitor kiosk at the Tadoussac ferry terminal in April 2026, with expanded whale-watching permits and a self-guided audio trail.
- Downtown Chicoutimi’s pedestrianisation of Rue Racine has been extended to October 2026, with seasonal terraces and a weekly farmers’ market on Saturdays.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Camp Makivvik, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floor 3 or higher, facing away from the main street (south side) to minimise road noise. These upper floors typically have clearer views and less foot traffic disturbance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or floor 1, especially those near the lift lobby or stairwell, as they pick up lobby chatter and door sounds. Also avoid rooms directly above the front entrance, where taxis and cars idle.
Best views
South-facing rooms on upper floors look onto the quieter residential side of Quebec's old town, with occasional rooftops and treetops, no direct street noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are consistently quieter due to distance from street and public areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Main street traffic noise is the primary source, peaking during weekday mornings and evenings. The lift can be heard on adjacent walls, and the bar (if present) may carry up to floor 2.
Insider tips
1. Check in early (before 3pm) to secure a higher floor request; otherwise, call ahead. 2. If driving, ask reception for the nearest free street parking spot — the hotel's own lot fills fast.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
