Little Lake Family Campground
Overview
Little Lake Family Campground offers a peaceful retreat nestled on the scenic South Shore of Nova Scotia. This family-operated destination is known for its tranquil lakeside setting, providing a classic camping experience that focuses on relaxation and natural beauty. Unlike high-energy resort-style parks, this location maintains a traditional, quiet atmosphere where the sounds of nature take center stage, making it a favorite for those looking to disconnect and recharge in a rustic environment.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just a short drive from the historic town of Lunenburg, the park is perfectly positioned for exploring one of Canada’s most iconic coastal regions. The campground sits directly along the shores of Little Lake, surrounded by thick woodlands and soft rolling hills. The landscape provides a secluded feel while remaining highly accessible, offering travelers a quiet home base that is only minutes away from the vibrant, colorful waterfront and the salty breeze of the Atlantic coast.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is well-equipped to host various RV styles, offering spacious sites that blend into the natural landscape. Key amenities include:
- Grassy, level sites equipped with 30-amp electrical hookups and clean potable water.
- A refreshing outdoor swimming pool and a dedicated playground area for younger travelers.
- Essential guest facilities including clean washrooms, hot showers, and a convenient laundry room.
- On-site recreation such as kayak and pedal boat rentals for exploring the calm waters of the lake.
The park also features communal fire pits and a recreation hall, which serve as central gathering points for guests during the summer season.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is the town of Old Town Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site located just five minutes away. Visitors can spend days touring the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic or admiring the Bluenose II schooner when it is docked in port. For those who love the rugged coast, the nearby village of Blue Rocks offers stunning photography opportunities, while the expansive sands of Hirtle’s Beach provide excellent hiking trails and coastal views just a short drive from the campground.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is ideal for families and retirees who prefer a slower-paced, community-oriented environment over busy commercial parks. It is particularly well-suited for RVers who enjoy water-based activities like fishing or paddling right from their doorstep. If you are looking for a welcoming home base to explore the South Shore's famous lighthouses, local artisan shops, and maritime history, this park offers the perfect balance of convenience and natural serenity.

Nice enough camping ground, but when we visited on 8 October it was in closing down mode. Closest washrooms to the tent site were closed (annoying but ok) and (more annoying) we couldn't find a rubbish bin anywhere. Were told we could drive to washrooms but when I went to pick up my partner on leaving, all 3 roads to washrooms had locked gates from rest of camping grounds. The taps were off in the dishwashing area. On the good side, showers are free, wifi is everywhere and sites are nice enough. But if not all services are operating there should be a price reduction on the rather steep $45 for an unserviced site.

Lunenburg’s Little Lake Campground is a really nice and quiet place to stay. The sites are spacious and it’s a peaceful spot to relax, just a short drive from downtown Lunenburg. The restrooms and showers could be a little cleaner, but the water was warm and everything worked well. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the stay even better. Overall, a great campground with lots of space and a welcoming atmosphere.

Very cute campground and lovely owners. Located a short drive away from town. Tent area was private and quiet. There’s two separate areas with showers and toilet facilities. Unfortunately, the single stall showers were unusable at night because it was too cold and there wasn’t enough room to change, yet, the enclosed showers had only one women’s shower with hot water at night; men’s had no hot water. Luckily, there was hot water for all the showers by the morning. Skid marks aside, facilities were fairly clean but very shabby.

What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. The staff are warm, helpful, and genuinely try and make you feel comfortable. The campground has a calm, relaxed vibe, perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking to recharge. It also has great proximity to Lunenburg. In just a few minutes you can be exploring the historic town, grabbing a bite of world-class seafood, taking in an ice cream by the ocean or enjoying in the vibrant culture

Lovely campground, only 5 minutes from downtown lunenburg. The campsites are really nice, but their RVs around the pond got my heart! (I stayed in RV7). Well maintained and very clean, the washrooms are always clean as well, the employees are very friendly and even tho I arrived after working hours they received me with a smile and helped me to help me get in the RV! The swimming pool is really nice and near the playground. It was perfect for our family! Thank you!
