Asking us if we had a bucket to put it out?! We explained that her employee was bringing water she proceeded to yell about fire wood and then speeded off. We packed up and left.

It's located 40-45 minutes outside of Halifax. This is a tent, trailer and RV friendly location (although I'm not sure they have any pull through sites). There are 95 spots available (combined). Open May 18 - Oct 8 Wifi is available at the main entrance and surroundings areas. Will not reach to most of the park. This park has some amazing spots. None are right on the water, but a lot of them have some wonderful ocean views! There are flush toilets and free hot showers in the main bathhouse near the entrance. Vault toilets are located throughout the remainder of the park. You can bring one vehicle to your campsite. You must pay for any additional vehicles you bring with you to your site. You can leave any spare vehicle at the main entrance for free. There are many walking trails in and around this campground. The town of Chester is a 5 minute drive away where you can get supplies. You can buy fire wood onsite. Thanks for reading. Be sure to give me a thumbs up if this was helpful!

Graves Island is a jewel in the crown of Nova Scotia provincial parks. Located just outside of…read moreChester, Graves Island offers several attractions. For the daytripper, there are picnic grounds, a playground for the kiddos, walking trails, kite-flying fields and a tiny beach. Not much beats hanging out on a quilt under your beach umbrella while the kiddos bounce in the shallow waves. If you're planning a multi-day stay, the campground offers many amenities that have been upgraded in recent years. A modern wash-house offers hot showers and flush toilets - a real improvement! Campsites are generous and mostly secluded, allowing you to enjoy nature without being on top of your neighbour. Costs are reasonable, although regulations have tightened up in the last few years. Don't let that stop you, though - Graves Island truly has to be experienced to be believed.

Kejimkujik Nova Scotia, also known simply as Keji, is located in the western region of the province. It is a National Park and very well organized. Well known for its excellent canoe routes and camping, it also has a network of excellent backpacking and hiking trails. This is pretty much a flat area. But if peace and tranquility that being close to nature appeals to you, then Keji is worth a visit. Over 80 percent of the Park is backcountry, accessible only by canoe or hiking trails. The campground has showers, flush toilets and a trailer dump that are available to the campers.ciate the quiet beauty this Park has to offer. Love this spot!

Bayswater goes one step further and also gives you warm water! Well, water as warm as the Atlantic ocean can provide. It's not bone chilling and you don't have to numb your whole body before you can swim around. I was surprised at how warm it really was. It's a bit of a drive from Halifax, but that just means not everyone is going to be committed enough to drive out to it. Therefore, the beach isn't packed! I think it might be one, if not my favourite beach in Nova Scotia.

I'll tell you what I do like about this place though, lots of parking and it's a great little hike/walk. If you walk to the end of the beach, you'll find a little well worn path that walks you around the tip of the beach. This is the part I enjoyed the most. It looks like people have had some good times out there as there are a couple well-used fire pits. I can dig it. I would not suggest you making the commute here for a day at the beach. It is a nice stop over or a good place to stretch your legs (or your four legged friends legs).

This makes the trip a fair bit longer, but you've got some great stopping places along the way like Mahone Bay and Chester. It's not hard to find as long as you have a few simple directions easily located on Google Maps. Once you arrive you will find ample parking and well maintained facilities for changing, etc. and a canteen. The beach is lovely and stretches quite far. I always find the water quite warm and there are few rocks or seaweed. A great place to go for a day out of the hustle and bustle of the city. On your way out check out the beach across the road, it's pretty cool because you can drive your car right onto the beach. I have yet to try this, but often admire from the road as we leave. I always come back through La Have as it is a really nice scenic drive. This is one of Nova Scotia's gems not to be missed.
