43km from Cleveland Beach Provincial Park · 1 site · Tent, RV · Eastern Passage, NS
I have a nice grassy and gravel space on the side of my home for an RV or a tent with easy access to a hose and electricity and extra parking. Nova Scotia is experiencing very dry weather with little rain in sight. I'm on well water and the water levels are low. I can offer bottled water for necessities but water usage from my home is limited. My backyard also has an above ground pool (currently being repaired) and firepit (when fires are allowed) for extra convenience. My yard is surrounded by trees and we often have wildlife visit us. It is very quiet and serene. It's a family oriented neighborhood so you will see and hear kids. Everyone helps each other out. We are also located 6km to Rainbow Haven Beach, 3km to the Cow Bay Moose and 3km to the local grocery store. Also 9.7km from the Woodside Ferry Terminal and 800m from the closest city bus stop.

The best camping in Cleveland Beach Provincial Park, NS guide

Overview

About

Cleveland Beach Provincial Park beckons with its golden sands and the allure of unsupervised swimming in Nova Scotia's refreshing waters. While the park doesn't offer camping, it's a haven for day-trippers seeking sun, surf, and the simple joy of a seaside escape. Venture east of Hubbards and find this coastal gem, where limited parking ensures a tranquil experience away from the bustling crowds.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Cleveland Beach Provincial Park is during the warm summer months, from June to August, when the sun kisses the horizon and the water is inviting. Avoid the chill of the off-season, as the park's charm is best enjoyed with the warmth of the sun on your skin.
