Very laid back campground right on the water. We sat and watched the tides for hours. Its not a park with activities, it's a good location for a base to visit local attractions. Clean tiny showers, friendly staff. Cash only!
Cynthia MacAloney
Spectacular view, beautiful location, central enough to travel around that part of the Province. Our cabin was perfect for our needs--cozy and quaint. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again.

We did not stay in the cute little cabins so I can't report on those but it's a wonderful smaller campground to just chill out and watch the Bay of Funday tides. The managers are always around if you need something. We were self contained but a bathroom and a shower are available if you are not. As there are many seasonal campers you don't get the constant movement you get in other campgrounds. Hidden gem.

Our fav place to stay in NS. Quiet, adorable campground. Dog friendly. Super clean bathrooms. You can fish from the beach. Not a swimming area but that just means less kids around haahaha! What's not to love.
