    The people here are very nice, I really wish I could give it more stars!!…read more The lots are grass, with bits of gravel, no trees to speak of, each site does appear to have a picnic table. We use 30 amp - that connection was positioned at 45 degrees, so hubby had to try up ours because we use a "Progressive" brand system management box and it's weight was to heavy to hold at that angle ( not all were set up with that power station, but many were). My biggest issue was with their WiFi, if you went to their library (a small building in the middle of the park), you could use free WiFi. If you wanted to use it on site, there was a $2 fee - per device. When I checked in I asked about the WiFi- the very sweet gal at the sign in desk said not to worry, she was putting us so near the library that we could use the free connection ( maybe she meant we were close enough that going to the little building wouldn't be too far, I took it for we would have WiFi in our RV). Well the WiFi signal from the library, which we were very close too, stunk!! We couldn't open a single webpage! So, since we both like to be "connected" my hubby went and paid an extra $4 so that we both had Internet access. The signal strength was very impressive - too bad that it was no better than the weak library signal we had tried unsuccessfully before!! Ugh!! Just say you don't offer WiFi!! I would not be so frustrated!! And, if you are going to charge for something that must campgrounds give away - you better make sure it works!! (No, we didn't ask for our money back - as Americans traveling in a foreign Country, we didn't want to caused bad feelings. Maybe we should have, but we were very frustrated and decided to let it go.) As for the good, great, clean showers and laundry facilities- very well thought out!! And, the little library, has lots of "take one, leave one" books. Comfy chairs and a desk. As I said, I wish I could give them a better review!! But if you don't need or want to be as connected as we like to be, and you don't mind treeless lots - go for it!! The people are great!!

    The owners were very friendly, and the park was very well kept. All bathrooms were stocked, clean,…read moreand functional. The park is alongside a small river, where we even viewed a bald eagle during our stay. Perfect to sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee, or skip rocks while enjoying the view. For one night, the stay was very affordable as well. The spring water is the best I've come across at any park. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone that finds themself passing through!

    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!

    Our experience at Ponderosa Pines has been excellent. Our site was clean and well kept in the fire…read morepit was cleaned out. It was an easy back in and we leveled up quick and this is a very private site only because it's at the end of the row and you're looking out over the water. It's very quiet here which we really liked and our side is also not far from the laundry And bathrooms, but not too close that's annoying. We found the Wi-Fi was excellent and we really didn't have any problems with it at all. The staff in the office were great and told us exactly where our site was and gave us a map. From our site you can be walking straight out onto The view of Fundy and it is stunning. There are paths that take you to Hopewell that take an hour to walk or you can just do the quick jaunt around the local ponds on a walk. Hopewell is less than 10 minutes by car. I highly recommend this place. It's not expensive. It's a simple campground with a small pool, but it's very quiet and close to local towns.

    Ponderosa Pines is a nice campground located very close to the World Famous Hopewell Rocks. They…read moreoffer campsites for RVers and tenters as well as having a few rental properties. The campground roads are gravel, packed dirt and campsites are either gravel or grass. Some sites are shaded while most are open. Campground has their own small lake for fishing or boating for kayaking or canoeing. RV sites are full hook up (W/S/E), tent sites are dry camping. We arrived during "low season" and we given a site overlooking the marsh and Chocolate River. We asked if it was a back in or pull in, woman at desk admitted she was new and didn't know. We were not offered an escort to our site. When we got there, the site was a pull-in and not to our liking. There were 9 or 10 other RVers in the immediate area, several with dogs off leash (we are dog people, but when they say, dogs on lead, we obey). We went back towards the office and saw the pull-thru sites were empty so we pulled in to one and walked to the office to see if we could take that site instead. Same price so no problem swapping. So glad we did because when we went for a walk that evening, there was all sorts of noise from the other section of the campground they wanted to put us in first (noise = loud talking + radios + barking dogs + kids playing). We only stayed 1 night as this was a halfway point on our planned travels. We wanted to see Hopewell Rocks at high & low tides and accomplished that. Restrooms are clean, 4 showers are accessed by individual doors at other end of building so anyone can use it. Laundry room in in central portion of the restroom building. They offer rustic bathrooms in the tenting area (out-houses). We stayed here in a fifth wheel and would return again if our travels brought us this way.
