Answer
If you are coming to Quebec in the summer, expect to encounter hot days and warm nights. Summer (JUL-AUG) temperatures are usually around 80-90F in the day, and may only drop to 70-80F at night.
You are unlikely to find a sugar camp serving maple syrup taffy on snow in July, but all the tourist places will have maple products for the tourists.
Not sure what Charles was referring to about the food in the stores. Montreal is one of the hubs of Canada, and fresh produce arrives daily from the farms nearby for sale at places like the Atwater , Bonsecours, and Jean Talon markets, as well as other places. Every part of the city has supermarkets with food on the shelves that looks and tastes fresh.
If you are a nightlife person, there are loads of clubs, dancing, bars, and Montreal actually becomes more lively downtown on Friday and Saturday nights that it is during the day.
If you are into sightseeing, then there are loads of museums, churches, great architecture to see. Try the Old Port of Montreal, Notre-Dame Basilica, La Ronde (Six Flags), and the "Underground City" which is a series of passageways beneath the downtown core with shopping and restaurants that people use more in winter so they don't have to step outside in the cold.
There will be loads of festivals here during the summer, including Just For Laughs comedy venues, the Jazz Fest, Montreal Fireworks competition, and the Grand-Prix of Montreal.

Inexpensive and simple campgrounds in Quebec?
I would like to go camping in the Canadian province of Quebec this summer. I would like to be within an hours drive of Montreal. I have searched campgrounds but most of them are like resorts and are very expensive. The only amenities that I would really like to have are restrooms and showers. I am looking for an inexpensive, simple campground. I would like to spend about $200 or less a month.
Answer
I'd look under Provincial Parks Quebec. But as for the $200 a month, I'd say forget it. If you're very lucky, you might find places for as little as $10 a night, but there won't be many of those and the usual rate will be more like somewhere between $20 and $30 a night. Many places have limits on how long you can stay. Also, a quick look at a map will tell you that Montreal is a large city in a fairly heavily populated area with many smaller places around it. Campgrounds close to large cities tend to be somewhat more expensive than ones off the beaten track and they fill up fast in summer. Nobody needs to give any discounts because there are plenty of people willing to pay full price during the very short season that campgrounds are in high demand.
