Conveniently located 30 minutes east of Annapolis Royal, 50 minutes east of Digby, and 50 minutes west of Wolfville. There many lovely towns to stop in on your drive through the valley.

Absolutely beautiful! What view! It's an off grid camping spot in the most beautiful area. There is an outhouse that was clean. Dan was quick to respond to any questions I had and check in to make sure I was okay or needed anything. That view though is everything. I would wake up looking out at that view everyday if I could. Also had 5g out there which was nice to still be connected. I will definitely be staying here again.

We surprised my parents with a stay at Bootsie Back 40 Cabin for their 40th anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect! The hosts went above and beyond with every detail. The cabin itself is so cozy and welcoming, surrounded by stunning fall colors that made the whole experience magical.
My parents loved the peace and quiet — they spent their mornings sipping tea while listening to the birds sing. The hosts were wonderfully friendly and even took photos of my parents for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. They also got to visit the farm animals (including two emus!), which they absolutely adored.
Thank you for helping me give my parents such a memorable and heartfelt experience. This will be a trip they’ll cherish forever!

This property is 100% worth going out of your way for! We spent two nights, and unfortunately there was a fire ban and cloudy sky’s that obstructed star gazing, but even then waking up to the view from campsite 1 is spectacular. I didn’t see campsite 3, but 1 and 2 are both amazing- was able to get level with blocks in 24 ft. rig.
The place is well marked on the road and it looks like the driveway has been recently graded- easy in our vehicle. Dan was very responsive.
Would absolutely return, and if it were campfire weather- I’d spend multiple days relaxing there for sure!
There is a road down to the water and rocky beach where you can watch the amazing tides roll out.
If you’re on an open journey- worth spending some time in this spot and area.

Overview
About
Embark on an adventure at Cape Chignecto Provincial Park, where the wilds of Nova Scotia beckon the brave and the bold. With 52 km of challenging coastal trails, this park is a hiker's haven, offering a variety of backcountry and walk-in campsites. From the scenic vistas at every turn to the serene kayak-accessible spots, Cape Chignecto is the ultimate destination for those seeking to immerse themselves in nature's grandeur.
Notable campgrounds
- Backcountry Campsites (Hike-in): Nestled along the coastal trail, these sites offer a true wilderness experience for the fit and prepared adventurer.
- Walk-in Campsites at New Yarmouth: Easily accessed with centralized facilities, these sites provide a more secluded camping experience with essential comforts.
- Kayak Campsites: Accessible by water, these beachside campsites at Refugee and Seal Cove offer a unique overnight stay for kayaking enthusiasts.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Book early, especially for peak season dates, as Cape Chignecto's unique campsites are in high demand.
- For backcountry sites, ensure you select the appropriate reservation type such as 'Backcountry Hiking' or 'Backcountry Kayaking' when booking online.
- Call the park directly at (902) 392-2085 for group campsite reservations, and do so promptly after May 20th.
- Explore nearby camping options if your preferred site is unavailable, as the park's diverse offerings may have alternatives that suit your needs.
When to go
The best time to visit Cape Chignecto Provincial Park is between May 19 and October 9, when the park is fully operational. The summer months offer the warmest weather for hiking and camping, while the fall brings a stunning display of autumn foliage. Off-season visits can be challenging due to limited services and unpredictable weather.
Know before you go
- Check-in for your adventure begins at 2pm, and you must bid the wilderness farewell by 11am on your departure day.
- Prepare for physically demanding trails by ensuring you are fit and equipped for backcountry conditions.
- Remember to pack out all garbage from backcountry sites, and use waste sorting and recycling containers near the park entrance.
- For your safety, approach cliffs only at designated viewing areas, as the terrain can be unstable.
- Always boil, filter, or treat water before consumption to avoid any health risks.
