Literally the worst KOA I have ever experienced. I paid for a 50 amp site. Once I arrived and got…read moresituated in my "50" amp site, I realized it was only 30 amp. When I returned to the office to let them know they informed me that they don't even have any 50 amp sites and clearly I had made a mistake. When I showed them my reservation, they did nothing but give me a snotty attitude. Now, even the 30 amp power is not working at my site. Oh, and this "Halifax" koa is nowhere near Halifax. It's a 30 minute drive. I'm currently still waiting for any power. Update: The manager did give me a full refund. And we moved to Neptune Campground which is lovely:)

The view from this campground is absolutely stunning! Breathtaking!…read more This campground is located along the Five Islands region of the Bay of Fundy, where the tides rise and fall up to 46 feet, twice daily. At high tide, the islands are a beautiful sight - but as low tide approaches, mud flats appear, extending outward from the campground more than three miles. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you DON'T go out on the flats, since the water comes back in more quickly than you can run! The campground itself is more geared toward RV camping than tent camping, and as such is wide open, with RV parking shoulder-to-shoulder. The limited tent sites are less expensive, but also within the main campground. There is a small store at the main office, and the proprietors are ex-pat Americans that stay up there "during the season" only. They live in the large RV by the main gate, and are scrupulous about keeping the place clean and quiet. The restroom/shower facilities are old and leave some to be desired. My wife claims the women's side is well lit, but I can tell you the men's side has poor lighting. The stalls are somewhat run-down, and the showers cost a "loony," which is a 1 Canadian dollar coin, for 8 minutes. We're already planning a return trip to Nova Scotia, and may choose to stay here again.

Customer Service is not practised here!!! Don't book more than one night, and if you like, then…read moredecide if you want to stay longer (I have to admit the view is beautiful, expect very windy days though). I feel I was trapped when I reserved a two week stay in "Paradise". Read their terms and conditions and if you marry that with their NO REFUND OR NO CREDIT policy you are trapped if you book from far away. They do not let you in to see your site until you pay the full amount up front! Which we did, and the site was not what we agreed upon on the phone! once we paid, hehehe the "cash deal" for the full two weeks the Manager/Owner Sandy would do nothing for us when we decided we were mislead and wanted out...we even offered to split the difference and asked that she refund us the second week and we would suck up the first week. We were told, close to the bank, trees on one side, and the rest of the campground on the left. Sandy and her play on words insisted that our trees on one side consisted of alder bushes 40' away, to the far left of the front row where our view was blocked when an RV pulled up and was allowed to set-up where they wanted. We had to park in a very specific place to protect other peoples view. We saw the site we were promised, it was open and they told us our trailer would not fit...although we clearly stated it was a 30' trailer when we booked. If you book ahead you have up to seven days prior to cancel and if you do they only offer a nontransferable 1 year voucher if you want to rebook. Without mentioning their name, I checked around to other campsites, told my story and was surprised when I heard this campground mentioned back to me as having known problems like this. Looking at my wife crying out of frustration and looking at Sandy tapping the sign with her pen saying that "the policy is there, well displayed...take it or leave it!" was one of the worst camping experiences I have ever had!!! This Sandy claims she is the 'Manager' only and the campground is owned by a company, a Nova Scotia numbered company, which I assume is owned by this Sandy and her husband. Sandy is referred to as the owner by the staff, listed in the Doer's and Dreamers as the contact with her husband, but will put off the responsibility when a problem arises. The staff is directed not to give out their last names or their numbers if there is a problem, they are not registered with any of the regulatory organizations, that I could tell, except they are in the Doer's and Dreamers publication put out by the NS Dept. of Tourism. There is no recourse for this misrepresentation! Secondly, I must tell you all that this is not a kid friendly campground...a run down rec hall that should be inspected for safety, retched old slide and tetter-totter, swing set with only one baby swing on it (we were told it was going to be rectified by replacing the swings and never was), dirty pool with no furniture around it that opens at 11am if you can get a staff member to get off the office deck to come down and open it (took about 30 mins for them to drive 60' and open a lock), $2 showers and basketball court with no backboard/hoop/net. Be aware of this campground, my opinion is they are financially strapped, they take advantage of campers via their terms and conditions + policies, and they could care less about their customers. Read and try to understand their policies online - good luck to you!

Every single meal we had was delicious, prepared with love, & had high quality ingredients that were grown on the grounds. But my *favorite* part of the experience was our sweet server Wiktoria who was really just the best. She was the only server & she ran the restaurant impeccably. It was so refreshing to see such a hard worker who could maintain their cool & still be so kind. Thank you Wiktoria & everyone there for making my birthday trip that much more memorable.

Turn off the Ferry Road, roll down a one-mile lane flanked by potato fields through a gate and past…read morea calvacade of RVs and you have arrived at the KOA Cornwall/Charlottetown campground. If you're tenting, this privately-run campground offers a number of spots under trees on a grassy area, or, more preferable some 10 spots or so overlooking the West River. But be warned: not all these spots actually have a view of the river. When we arrived, trees blocked in the spot we were given, the ground was uneven, and the space was small with neighbours on either side. A quick look around showed an empty spot bordering one of the potato fields on one side and screened with trees from the neighbours on the other. It also opened onto the river below. The young desk staff made the switch without complaint. The site proved to be great for birding. At one point a blue heron landed on the dead tree just beyond our camp site, and a couple of kingfishers regularly flew over during our two-night stay. It was also relatively quiet at night, although one evening a budding lumberjack, along with his son and wife, went down to the river directly below our site and while we tried to eat dinner thrashed around chopping at all the dead wood they could find. While this fatherly display of manly prowess to his son was touching, it also disrupted our peaceful dinner. The bathroom facilities were so-so, not the worst we'd see, not the best either. But at $6 a bundle, the green wood was a rip-off. While other neighbors happily sat around their crackling fires, ours hissed and emitted a ton of smoke. That, coupled with the fact, that a tenting spot at this site was almost $40 a night, justifies the two-star rating. Would I stay there again? Probably, but I'd bring a bundle of wood in for the fire next time.
