Only twenty minutes from Halifax and half way to Peggy’s Cove, this campground is the perfect spot. Park on the road and then it’s only a few minutes to the forest clearing. Plenty of room to pitch up to three large or small tents, plus a covered picnic table. Also features a composting outhouse! Available camp fire and wood when fires are permitted.This site is only twenty minutes from Halifax and thirty to Peggy’s Cove. Easy and quick access from the road , that has ample parking space. Please park on the road opposite the uncleared lot Entrance is marked with orange tape and lights at night. Features a large cleared area for large or small tents. Enjoy the covered picnic table and available fire place, when fires are allowed by the Province. Dry firewood is available in the supply tent. Also has an outhouse! Paper, sawdust and sanitizer provided:). Just add one to three scoops after use. Power is available, but no water on site. Garbage and recycling can be left in the supply tent. A large cooler is also available and you can buy ice at the corner store opposite the playground at bottom of Pinedale Street.

Loved my mini tent camping adventure. Was really close to the city, but far enough away to get into the woods. It was really nice to have a rustic location all by yourself. "Supply tent" had dry wood, board games, and other essentials. I forgot a pot to boil water and borrowed one from there. John was great with communication on where to park and if we needed anything. There are very few places like this around. If you stay here, please don't ruin it for everyone else and leave a mess or break anything. I plan to take my family back here again!

Great weekend! Extremely well setup and thought through with a supply tent with anything you might have forgot or need. Lighting around the site is amazing. Great location, close to stores and activities.
