Rating: 4 9 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The ocean front sites are used by the seasonal. We would never take our rig on hwy6 again..it is narrow with pot holes. There was no internet here, in fact we were on our own...a guy on a bike came immediately to collect the rent..otherwise if we had needed help I don't know what we woud have done. This site is a long long way from Pugwash, with a gravel road on a big hill to the site...I would skip this place in the future. - new 5th wheeler
This is a beautiful campground. The grounds are very well kept and the owners were extremely friendly and helpful. The beach is absolutely gorgeous to walk on and spent lots of hours there. The seasonal campers there were also very friendly. Had a wonderful weekend there and plan to return again next year. - skidmowl
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Gulf Shore Camping Park »Privately owned campground in a very scenic area on gulf shore road near town of Pugwash just off scenic sunrise trail. What I liked was the amazing view of the ocean and very peaceful quiet smaller campground. I liked the area and the campground has great potential, but here comes the dislikes. Campground claims on website to be a family run campground (owners and family live in the US), campground needs some updating and just some simple repairs and such. The campground is almost all seasonal campers, the non-seasonal sites are not very level, bring lots of blocking, electrical is OK, but heard some sites are having problems, playground should be replaced as old and dangerous. Septic seems to be almost overwhelmed from the seasonals. The grass is very nice and green everywhere and well kept. Sites could be bigger, but pretty standard in comparison to most campgrounds I find. There are tent sites in the trees behind the RV sites. No trees near the RV sites and it can get windy because it is on the ocean. Hopefully owners decide to take better care soon as it has potential. - addy

Rating: 8 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: I just stayed one night but it was a nice park as I learned to expect in Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia camp sites are better than many other provinces (I have camped in 9) and states (I have camped in 43). The only complaint I had was that the mosquitoes were worse than in the other areas I camped in in Nova Scotia. You have to go a long way (almost an hour) to get a strong wifi signal. GPS will send you on gravel roads to nowhere so be careful. - Wakita46
Lovely park. Utilities are new. Very long back in on new gravel. Heavily shaded, spacious, very private. Limited bugs, but stay off trail to beach! Many of the sites with utilities will accommodate big rigs despite what the reservation site says, but most of the pull thru sites bend sharply. You may have to back in to most of them if you are over 40'. Very good showers. No ATT, no OTA. Malagash Salt Mine Museum is a small gem. The Chowder House in Tatamagouche is very good. Tatamagouche Brewery is very pleasant but the beer is just so-so. Food and wine shopping at the Co-op in Malagash and the Foodland in Tatamagouche. Major shopping in Amherst, ~35 miles. - bobcovey

Sandy site, fairly big, with fire pit and picnic table. Internet available free at gatehouse (password required). Camp host were very kind to give information. Washroom and showers are very clean. Will camp again if we stop by. One of the very few good camping in Nova Scotia. - Stukely

Rating: 7 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Nice campground right on the beach right beside Confederation Bridge to PEI. Contrary to other reviews...there are 50 amp full service sites available and good WIFI (you must use a code). Nice store and services and all sites are level. I would stay here again. - teepee51
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Cape Tormentine Beach Campground »Large campground on site of old ferry crossing from New Brunswick to Price Edward Island, just east of the Confederation bridge. 95% trailer long stays. Overnight sites wonderful ocean view on grass sites. Bathhouse plain painted white plywood with 3 to 5 minute hot showers for a dollar token. For the camp price should not be another charge for a shower. Expensive for an overnight. Nearby Murray Beach provincial park had closed 2 weeks earlier than scheduled and so this was only alternative late in the evening. - 210jem

Rating: 9 9 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Full hookup 30 amp site $42.00 per night no discount, however stay for six nights and get seventh night free. Not all sites are full hookups, some just water & electric. There is a community dump. This RV Park is located on Brule Point, about a 10 minute drive from Tatamagouche and right on the water. The beach is rocky. The layout for this park is very unconventional and is 50% occupied by seasonal (weekenders) families. Lots of children. The managers are very friendly and try very hard to accommodate. We called for same day (on a Saturday) reservations requesting 2 nights full hookups. They only had tent sites left for Saturday and allowed us to come in and use two tent sites (T-11 & T10) at the rate for one site. Sunday we moved to site 3-3, full hookups. The park has single lane hard packed dirt/gravel roads with all sites being completely of grass and level. Sites are adequate in size to allow for slides and awning use without encroaching on neighbor. There are no trees in the park, no shade, great for satellite reception. Every site has a fire pit, made of the inner liner of a washing machine and most have a picnic table. Lots of fires at night, at least on the weekend. There is a play area for the kids and outdoor games for both adults and children. The park sponsors weekend activities in the club house. Lots of people sitting outside their RV's during the day and evening. Bathrooms are small, very dated but clean, no showers. Both Sprint and Verizon had several bars. We did not use the park WIFI. Wind and bugs not an issue first day, however relatively high wind next few days, could not use awning again until last day. Owner sprays for mosquitos. We intended to stay just two nights but extended and extra 2 nights. This facility has a very homey, family feel, all the patrons are very friendly and welcoming. We will stay here again if opportunity allows us to return to this area. - ECM1
Very friendly staff, some sites are right next to the ocean and very beautiful! Wi-Fi costs extra and was broken when we were there. Bathrooms were OK. - Joe Tenners
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Sunset Watch Family Campground »Friendly hosts, level grassy sites, ocean is a short walk to rocky beach, large playground, they do recycle, dump station is easy, Wi-Fi is $2 extra per day we had water and power. The site we were in had the neighbor across facing our door, so not a lot of privacy, (that is only about a quarter of the park. - edt
