Thanks for the replies and keep them running if you got an idea or a plan for us. We would like to stay close to town to be able to just go walk around and dont spend to much time in the car. We will keep looking, Airbnb has some good offers and the Melvill campgroud is still an option so we have more money in our pockets to spend at the show and eating out. It's nice to know that there will be some parking and shuttle buses, i will try to learn more about the location of those. I have to confess that my absolute best would be to be able to stay / camp on a boat at a dock close by. Any idea if a lister or other poeple would be willing to rent their boat for few nights. That could be more boat bucks in your Pocket, i dont know what to offer but something like around 250$ plus a bottle of something good to start talking (17-20 sept)! We are not looking for luxury, and asking no more than just a place to sleep with our sleeping bags. Obviously would leave the place as we found it (leave no trace!) But i kind of understand that most boats seem to be on a mooring and less accessible for us. thanks for the help. Bruno Lachance 87 C&C 33 mkII, Bécassine New-Richmond, Qc
