Nestled along the peaceful banks of the Barrington River, Wild Axe Park offers a unique riverside camping experience surrounded by towering pines, maples, and open meadowland. This scenic retreat features spacious campsites set across upper and lower meadows, each with easy access to the river and plenty of room to relax, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty of Nova Scotia's South Shore. Whether you're pitching a tent or parking a small RV, you'll find a quiet setting perfect for campfires, wildlife watching, stargazing, and spending time outdoors. Wake up to the sounds of the river, enjoy peaceful walks beneath the trees, and take in the tranquil atmosphere that has drawn visitors to this property for generations. Wild Axe Park is also home to the renowned Wild Axe Lumberjack AXEperience, where visitors can immerse themselves in Nova Scotia's rich lumberjack heritage through hands-on activities such as axe throwing, log rolling, tree climbing, and traditional sawing demonstrations. This one-of-a-kind attraction adds a memorable cultural and adventure element to your camping stay. If you're looking for a peaceful riverside campsite with a touch of local history and outdoor adventure, Wild Axe Park is the perfect place to camp, connect with nature, and experience a true Nova Scotia tradition.

The Price is Right

Don’t “come on down” to the Wild Axe Park. Stay on top of the hill and enjoy convenient roadside access and power to a new by building. This unattractive but convenient spot even comes with a near by washroom and your own private axe throwing facility. *must sign waiver and receive instruction before you participate.
