Kejimkujik/Jeremy's Bay
Overview
Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site stands as a crown jewel of Nova Scotia's wilderness, offering an immersive escape into the Acadian Forest. The primary destination for RVers is Jeremy’s Bay Campground, nestled along the quiet shores of Kejimkujik Lake. This park is unique for its dual designation, preserving both ecological wonders and Mi’kmaw cultural history. It provides a serene environment where the whisper of old-growth pines and the call of loons define the daily atmosphere.
Location & Surroundings
Located near Maitland Bridge, NS, the park is situated in the interior of the province, providing a climate often warmer and clearer than the foggy coastline. The landscape is dominated by tranquil rivers and the expansive Kejimkujik Lake. As a designated Dark Sky Preserve, the surroundings offer some of the clearest stargazing opportunities in Atlantic Canada. The inland location ensures a lush, green canopy that feels worlds away from any urban bustle.
Amenities & Park Features
Jeremy’s Bay offers various campsites suited for RVs, including several loops equipped with electric hookups. While there are no full-hookup sites, the park provides a centrally located sanitary dump station and multiple potable water filling stations. Recently renovated washroom facilities offer modern showers and inclusive accessibility. RVers also benefit from the well-maintained gravel pads and the availability of fire pits for classic evening gatherings under a canopy of stars.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor recreation is the heart of the experience, with the Slapfoot Trail providing a scenic route for walking or cycling directly along the lakefront. Visitors can rent canoes or kayaks to explore historic waterways or join a guided tour to view ancient petroglyphs carved into the shoreline rocks. For those interested in diverse ecosystems, the Kejimkujik Seaside adjunct is a manageable day trip away, offering white sand beaches and coastal hiking trails.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for nature enthusiasts and families who prioritize a quiet, forest-based camping experience over traditional resort-style amenities. It is a haven for stargazers and photographers looking to capture the Milky Way in a pristine environment. RVers who enjoy a mix of physical activity, such as paddling and hiking, and cultural education will find this park to be a deeply rewarding stop on their Nova Scotia journey.

Beautiful national park. Remote as far as Nova Scotia goes but worth drive. We took advantage of a nice weekend in November. No one really around. All facilities were closed but we expected that. So lovely to see pristine wilderness and no litter. We will come back!!

A beautiful National park and loved staying here in Pods. There's a lot more to discover and I will definitely come back again for more! We did the trail around the waterfall and it was really nice. An easy trail to do with toddlers and he enjoyed the stay inside the pod. The kitchen shelter and washrooms are great and well maintained. Play structures near the lake is a wonderful addition and my kid loved playing there. He was missing the "park" during our 10days roadtrip and he was so excited to see the play area. You can rent canoes from the park and it won't rent canoes after 5pm. A canoe ride would have been nice, but we missed it with our schedule. A must visit place in Nova Scotia and en route to the Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove. I loved every bit of this National park and its greater history of First Nations. The Pods we stayed at are well equipped with electricity, phone charging facility, and night lamps.

Beautiful national park. Vast and full of natural wonder. Both sections are nice, seaside and the woodlands section. A great place for background camping and canooing. Lots of isolated campsites for those looking for peace and quite in nature. A must visit for nature lovers and paddling enthusiasts.

Beautiful park but we found the campground with mostly tents very crowded and noisy. The facilities are quite new and there are dish washing sinks, which was much appreciated. We cycled through the park roads and on some easy trails. The RV sites appeared to have more privacy with larger lots and electrical hookups.

Outstanding park for the whole family. We explored beaches, scenic lookouts, beautifully maintained hikes, most of them easy and appropriate for everyone, great food at the Lakeview cafe, kayaking and canoeing, and every single park employee we talked to was super friendly and eager to help make our visit the best. Don’t miss this jewel of western Nova Scotia. Oh! And big bonus: there are picnic tables throughout the park so bring a picnic!!
