Hi Les
I am on the Route Verde right now. Traveling from Montreal to Trois Pistoles, crossing river, then returning on north side of river. There are very few campgrounds, but there are p!enty of p!aces to pitch your tent for the night. We have been told that any church or community center will let you pitch on their back lawns. In Berthierville, we tented right behind the welcome center chapel (note: do not go near chapel after dark as the motion sensors will be triggered). In Batiscan, you can tent behind the old Presbytery. There are hundreds upon hundreds of cyclists in these routes. Some residents have signs outside sayig they welcome cyc!ists. The bike lanes and road shoulders are in remarkably excellent condition. I am overly impressed with how welcoming Quebec is towards cyclists. Hope this helps your journey!!
