This campground is very unique and quiet. Not huge, but mighty in the offering for what it offers. We love the open skies to star gaze. It is so friendly and there are so many new offerings to this campground that the new owners have accomplished in a very short time. 😊 We are Seasonals there so have watched how hard they have been working ! Please check out this wonderful place to relax and enjoy. It will be worth your stay, mind you, its a bit cold now. But next season for sure.

Clean, clean, clean. We we're trailer camping, but were impressed by the brand-new wooden Bunkie, each with a small, concrete patio, bistro table and chairs, and bbq. The sites are very open but so spacious that it doesn't feel crowded. We also appreciated the big dog run and access to the brook which offers a place for the dogs to cool off. Plus, the Masstown Market is just 1km up the road. We wouldnt hesitate to stay here again.

2025 Update: We decided to come back to this campsite and we were pleasantly surprised by the service. We booked a site with a patio, bbq and fire pit but Nova Scotia had a fire ban. The staff had propane fire pits available for us. They recently built 5 or 6 little cabins and are doing some playground upgrades. In back of the site by the white fence, there’s a little river where beavers have built 2 dams, great to show the kids! Enjoyed this stay so much by the masstown market we booked again on the way back. Original Review 2024: What a great location right next to a restaurant and very close to the Masstown Market and Creamery! The spot was great for a night stay in my 32 foot Class C RV. The septic and power were strangely configured on 45 degree angles but nothing a bungee cord and some patience can’t solve. Good spot for filling up on propane and lots of grass for the dog!

Great spot and just off the highway. Incredible service and super friendly welcome. All the amenities you need, but if you do need to pick anything up, the Masstown Market is 1km down the road. Highly recommend!

We love, love, love this campground! I highly recommend it to anyone traveling in the area. The new owners are working very hard to make it a special place, and are doing a terrific job. There are seasonal sites as well as transient RV and tent sites. What truly made this campground special was the people. It is a very social environment, and we felt like we were leaving home after just 4 days.
