Well maintained Provincial park, active crews attending to maintenance and security into the evening. Flush toilets and showers in a dated facility but are really kept nice and clean. The beach is close enough to walk to from Loop A and is beautiful. Being late July, we found the water at the beach to be very cold. Close to Pictou for picking up supplies and sightseeing.

Beautiful park. Lots of parking and clean bathrooms. Nice long walk on the beach. Picnic tables are available and water to wash the sand from your feet. Approved my our grandkids.

Really nice trail and beach but would have liked a more defined trail instead of it just being a shore side walk

A bit of a walk to beach with quite a few stairs but there is also a wheelchair accessible path. There are outhouses, not toilets. The beach and water bottom is sandy.

Beautiful, quiet campground on the beach! We stayed in a sheltered spot with water and electricity a 3 minute walk from the beach. Friendly staff. Close to ferry to PEI.

Campground B is not the best layout. Pulled into campsite 29, had to clean up the garbage, glass and toilet paper. I blame the campers who used this site and the staff for not cleaning it up! The young family next door were using the bushes behind their tents as the bathroom. Which was directly in our line of site I politely asked if they would stop as not what we wanted to see Or smell. I was not greeted with the respect I showed them. We wouldn’t stay here again

A very nice park that offers lots of private sites. The bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. The young lady working at the kiosk was lovely and very helpful.

Very nice park that is located along a beautiful stretch of coastline. It has a very nice and long sandy beach that rivals many other places. The sites are overall well sized, especially those with electric and water. Only site 30 is tight for larger trailers and a vehicle. The washroom with showers was very clean, they clean them hourly! However, for a park this size one building with washroom and showers is definitely not enough. Especially if you are in a different loop you are a bit out of luck if you don’t have your own bathroom as even the number of outhouses is low. But they do have cooking shelters which is nice in case the weather is not as great.

Beautiful beach at low tide, with tide pools and sand bars and warm water to swim in. Short walk along the peninsula can be extended when the tide is out as it is mostly along the beach. We couldn't see a trail inland.

This is my favourite place to visit. The water was beautiful this week- some waves and warm enough to swim. It's never too crowded- always a place to sit. Easy to park and picnic as well. I love seeing sailboats and kayaks.

Very nice park. The beach is beautiful and the water clear and warm. I found all the facilities very clean and the staff friendly. A little more signage to the path to the beach would have been appreciated since I was unfamiliar with the park but I know for next time.

This park was a great surprise to me and my family.
Really beautiful, with access to the beach. The beach is great for the kids.water is calm, no waves. Great for swimming too.
The RV's campsites don't have water. A single washroom. Only one shower, so be prepare to wait.
I will be back soon.

Lovely place, great for beach walks to Munroe's Island.interesting fauna, moderately wheelchair accessible. They've reduced the number of picnic tables from past years to around 6.beware of the reddish sand, it can stain bathing suits especially white ones, so either use a towel to sit on when wet or wash asap after changing out of it.

Endroit très sympa, magnifique emplacement. Mais ouf les blocs sanitaires, très salle et désuet. Si le ménage fait, la note aurait été 5 étoiles.

Another Beautiful Nova Scotia provincial park! White sandy beach, open and wooded sites available. Staff friendly and helpful. Washrooms with showers available along with scattered outhouses. Great for a relaxing Nova Scotia family vacation!

Beautiful campground. Staff are friendly. Office was open until 10pm which was really convenient. Our first time camping and we're not disappointed. We stayed at site #1. We definitely would come back, but booking at Caribou-Munroes was really very crucial this year.

When we went I was underwhelmed at the size: a small lighthouse with a small parking lot (maybe hold 10 cars depending on how they parked). And no garbage can nearby. The tide was out so thereas large sandy area exposed.and I could see people here and there and 1 group with a dog - but I could not find a path to walk down to get to where they were. I was left assuming they either claimed over the rocks around the edge of the parking lot to get down to the sand.or walked I from further up the beach. The area DID look lovely.and I wish I could have gotten down to the sandy area but we had our dog with us and there was no way he would make it.nor anyone with mobility issues.
I will be going again.without my dog.because I'd really like to make it to the Watters edge.

What a wonderful spot. Glad we went there. The sand was warm and pleasant to walk or sit in. The water was not cold. It was bearable to walk or swim in. Beautiful sand beach and not crowded at all. Would highly recommend it.

We rarely visit the same place twice but had to come back to this beautiful place. Looking forward to our next visit.

Perfect spring day for beach walking.
A Fabulous beach to walk on!
Perfectly Covid isolation.

Nothing to hear but birds and trees rustling and ocean waves! Great place to camp except for occasional power outages. Few minutes drive to downtown Pictou. Great place!

Quiet, family campground with a lovely beach, with a beautiful view of PEI ferry. Private campsites & very clean running showers.

During our three week trip with RV in Nova Scotia this was one of the best campgrounds. We had site 9 in loop A with power and had a view on the ocean. Lots of free space to play. Quiet. Beautiful beach with little people and clear water is 100m away. Dumping station and fresh water also available. If you can bring your own wood instead of paying 5 dollar for some sticks (like everywhere in NS).

Nice campsites, but little privacy. Very nice beach, almost deserted when my dog and I visited. Great staff, very helpful and kind. And met some very nice campers.
21 September 2019 13:52
Eh. A long walk from the car down stairs and through poison ivy to end up on a really buggy beach. Huge disappointment. There are better beaches in the are for sure. It was pretty but the bugs killed us. Sunset was nice.
16 September 2019 3:25
Nice park but the beach had too many people unless you walked all the way up to where it wasn’t sandy anymore
14 September 2019 4:27
Great camping experience. Park facilities were exactly what was expected for a provincial park. Washrooms were clean and campsites fairly private. The reason to come here though is the beach, kms of perfect sand and fairly warm water when the tide is out. The kids had lots of fun finding hermit crabs and jellies.

Nice campground with good facilities. Quiet & clean, great for families with a good beach. The waters are warmer then most places but they are still cold. All i all a great camping & beach location.

My recommendation would be for more service sites
08 September 2019 3:47
Great park, open sites with water and electric, dump station. Beach right in front of sites, great walk along the beach if you tome it right you can almost touch the PEI ferry as it comes and goes from the harbour.

Super belle plage et camping avec de l'eau chaude (84° F aujourd'hui). Une perle pour le Canada!
02 September 2019 2:14
Terrific beach, warm water, picnic park, camping. What more can you want from a privincial park? A resort at the end of the beach? Well you got that too. Warm water and great local attractions top off the whole experience
27 August 2019 7:14
Close to the PEI ferry, the location is good for that. There's a lovely, WARM, water beach that extends to Munroe's Island. The campsites are pretty close, but there are a lot of sites for the available area. Only one loop has power, but the random placed water spigots provide potable water. The woods are beautiful, as is the beach.
26 August 2019 13:19
What I could see from the top was nice.but I couldn't find a handicap friendly access down to the beach! Stairs are too difficult for me, and the only access I can find was several levels of stairs.
15 July 2019 19:47
We had one of the electric sites. It was nice and long so we didn't have to unhook. The weather was horrible. Rained and rained. Didn't get to see much since we were only there one night and it was pouring. The bathrooms were broken in our loop luckily we had our own. The staff was friendly.
11 July 2019 13:34
Great spot. We had an open site 5. Weather was horrible but we made the most of it with walks on the excellent trails and on the beach. Staff was great on arrival. There is no need to haul your water in your RV as there is a fill up station on the way in with an extra long hose. Pressure is a bit low so it will take about 7 mins to fill your tank. Power was stable throughout the weekend and never dropped below 118 V.
