We have stayed at the cottages many times over the years. The hosts have thought of everything and work diligently to keep the property comfortable and properly maintained. We stayed for 8 nights and travelled around the area a bit each day. We thoroughly enjoyed just sitting on the balcony and watching the lake and ducks. There is a well stocked store on the property and we found the prices of items very reasonable. The hosts are always available to help if needed. We once again had an extremely enjoyable and relaxing time. Hope to return again next season. The cottages are cozy and comfortable. Everything you need is there, a fridge, stove, microwave, TV, dishes and hair dryer are all there. The Mountain Top Cottages are a perfect place for anyone of any age to come, relax and enjoy.

The cabin was very clean, and had everything we needed in it. Check in and check out was smooth. The campground is located in a beautiful location. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend this place!! The ducks were fun to watch. This campground is super clean, and quiet, with sites surrounded by enough trees to provide your site with the right amount of privacy.

We booked a camping spot for a week and this campground is absolutely outstanding! It is the cleanest park I have ever been to. It is obvious how much the owners care. Our lot (#2) was nicely treed in and private with three way services. The campground was quiet with a great heated pool as well. It is in a great location to easily access areas such as Annapolis Royal, Bear River and Digby. Would highly recommend.

We stayed at Mountain Top with our pop-up camper. It was a lovely quiet campground. Campsites were separated a bit by trees, which was very nice. Bathrooms were very clean, and the pool was clean and warm. The grounds were very well kept.
