At Saint-Simon-de-Rimouski on the 132: turn at the 'Petro Canada' gas station in direction of Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux. Turn right at the end of the road on the '3eme rang' and then left on 'Chemin du lac Sud' (half a kilometer, at the barn on the left side of the road, right on the corner!). Just follow that road until you reach the KOA Campground.
