This RV park has the best sunsets ever. The location is great if you want to get away from everything. I found that the people here are very friendly. Chapel Gully Trail is walking distance from here. It's a wonderful trail that's well maintained.

Came in on my boat to do some laundry and provisions. Depth in the marina was to shallow for my draft so I anchored outside. Walked around and couldn't find anyone so threw a load of laundry on (coin operated machines) 3 min later a older guy turns up yelling at me about how the machines are for guests only. I apologize and said I could remove my cloths from the machines if it was a problem but he just kept on going on about how no one else is going to be able to use the machine now. It's the end of Oct and there is a tropic storm coming tomorrow.... The place is absolutely dead empty. I don't know, maybe it was just a bad day for him but I was very surprised as everyone in Nova Scotia has been really kind to me since I have been hear. Place is in a beautiful location though!!!

A great place to park your camper or RV for both short and long periods of time. Right by the water so you have up front ocean views. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets!! Lots of friendly people, all the necessities and reasonably priced. Great around Stan Rogers Folk Festival.
