Campers will see new safety measures in place to ensure Nova Scotians can safely enjoy camping and the outdoors this season. Due to public health measures, provincial campgrounds are only open to Nova Scotians and they are not accepting any out-of-province bookings. Campsites will also be limited to family units/members of the same household
All campgrounds will operate at a reduced capacity to ensure physical distancing requirements are met (some campsites are closed to maintain a safe distance between campers). Campers must have reservations before they arrive, only registered campers will be allowed to enter. Drive-up or walk-in campers will not be permitted to enter campgrounds.
This year saw improvements that include upgraded campsites with electrical and water services at Ellenwood Lake and Valleyview and refreshed washroom facilities at The Islands and Thomas Raddall.
If you’re looking for a backcountry experience, check out Cape Chignecto. Located in Advocate Harbour, Cumberland County this park has 60 km of trails through remnant old-growth forests and along coastal cliffs offering stunning views from 600ft above the Bay of Fundy. All campsites are walk-in, there are no drive-up sites at Cape Chignecto.
