Couldn't camp here

2 loops here…upper loop sites are flat and close together, lower loop winds down a hill and has view of water, neither loop has much privacy. Easy walk down hill to scenic old fishing town and location is central to the south shore of Nova Scotia. Flush toilets, showers and dish washing room in back of bathhouse. There is WiFi but it didn’t work.

We stayed here for the annual Halifax busker festival , the first weekend of August. Location of campground, super friendly and helpful staff, and services (laundry, dump, paid shower, bathhouse, WiFi and security ($20 refundable security card to get in/out of gate and security guard after 11pm) deserves 5 stars but grassy parking lot style of camping makes it 4 stars. We had a 30 amp site but there were sites along side road that had shade, which looked inviting, although they weren’t level-hill. Unserviced sites were $35. Our corner Site, 19 had a little more space, shade under trees.

Park location is 15 minutes to Halifax ferry terminal which took passengers straight to waterfront for $2.50 (runs every 15 minutes with parking at pier). This avoids the bridge toll, traffic and having to park in town which is hard to find and expensive! Park also has swimming beach and on Shubie canal for biking.

Our site, number 6 in the overflow are, was beautifully set-back in vegetation against rocks. There’s a pit toilet and most of the sites are small and basic. The main campground is a few minutes south and has showers.

This is a nice area located on the river. There are only 2 tent sites and 4 RV sites. It's very busy with people trying to get a spot. 2 back in sites and 2 long pull up along edge of pavement next to river. There's a dump station, bathroom and a boat ramp. The low # of sites won't last long though, lots of construction...The city is working to improve the campground to get ready for the solar eclipse (August 21, 2017). I understand they'll be charging $100/night with a 3 night minimum!

Self service & Difficult to turn around for big rigs.

The fee was 31 CA ($24 US) for non-electric. It was only $3-$4 more for electric but I liked our water location so we stayed on our tent site. There was no additional charge for pool as other reviewer noted but $5 charged for non-campers to swim. There were a lot of mosquitoes which took the pleasure out of being on the water! As reported Unisex bathrooms were clean.

Campground has hot showers and flush toilets but sites are small and lack privacy. There are wonderful programs offered (both day and evening). There is WiFi at ice cream shack and visitors center. Good lake and river swimming & endless canoeing possibilities (also backcountry camping when canoeing). Mosquitoes are are problem at dawn and dusk.

We went to the west lake campground but they were full. The camp host called his office and asked if the other 2 local county campgrounds were also full. We were told to go down the road (around 1/2 mile) to Summit campground and there'd be space there. You need to return to pay though. Clean bathrooms and showers. There was some road noise

A few campground loops and each has slightly different characteristics. The serviced sites are spaced close together (parking lot style) for easy pull through a and setting up, the tent loop, (close to beach) are on grassy sites under trees with little privacy and the middle loop has vegetation between sites and spacious. We had nice site with no services and were across from bathhouse (flush toilets and showers). There is a small building with picnic tables with very slow WiFi.

The Schoodic Penninsula has a more relaxed feel than the Mount Desert Island. This 3 year old campground addition to Acadia National Park is so well done! Sites are large, level and private. Evening programs,great biking on one-way penninsula road and hiking. Winter Harbor (close small town) has laundry, paid showers and restaurants. We watched brass being poured atUS Bells foundry, visited Darthea Farm Produce market and kayaked Jones pond.
Low cell service. $15 fee reflects senior discount (no power in campground).
