I booked, confirmed by email, three nights here as their ad offered full services, drove quite a ways to get there and was exhausted the first night when I arrived so went directly to the site and slept. Come morning, I went down to the house that the ad says has the kitchen, shower, toilet, water, electricity. All doors were locked. Took two hours for the owner to respond to my email and he responded that they were closed for the season and would offer a full refund. I requested a full refund then had to follow up to obtain it. Then I checked my records and see that I did not get the full refund. I had to email again and was advised by owner that I had to contact hip camp for the remainder. Waste of time I replied, for all of this. He then challenged me that I had somewhere to lay my head for the night for $10 and asked me if I liked the view. I only wasted $50 to get there, sleep, NOT shower and have amenities then had to find somewhere else and drive there. Terrible service.

We had such a nice stay at Janis’s! It was cozy, comfortable and private. There is a great indoor area where we played games and there was a whole field of tenting spots to choose from.
We recommend staying here!

Great spot. Off the main road by 4 short kms. Tucked away at the foot of the mtns…..I had the place all to myself. Parked my van so I could see the moon dance across the sky. Very quiet and had a great sleep. Total props.

Very easy to book. The site was nice and level, tucked away on their side yard. Adjacent to a pond. We were only there for a brief time but it was the perfect location on our travels going west. I would avoid the restaurant down the street. Nice folks but vibe, food and drinks left a lot to be desired. Also, bring bug spray in the summer.

Stayed at the Auraura Tent. About 5 minute hike up to the tent. (Keyword UP).
The experience was well thought out with care and more comforts then I was expecting. Power in the tent with a fan and a lamp. Open the skylights to view the stars at night. A small wood stove for the cooler months and a BBQ. Did you forget your lighter, flashlight or bug spray? Don't worry, they have you covered. A well stocked and very pleasant kitchen was available. (You bring the food).
Some of the off grid elements, like toilets, were a bit different but well documented. The site has lots of trail markers and solar lights to help you get around.
In the end, bring you clothes and food, almost everything else you need is on site.
It was mostly quiet, though I could hear the regular loading and unloading of the nearby ferry.
All in all, a great stay. Would go again.

Paul’s farm was the perfect place to spend the night. The views of surrounding farms and rolling fields were beautiful and the dark night sky with full moon and complete quiet were very nourishing. We would love the chance to stay again next time we’re in Mabou.

We originally booked one night but enjoyed the location so much we booked an additional night. Beautiful sites, most of not all with a view. Quiet and easy to get to. Excellent cell service. Minimum contact with the host. Clean Porta potty. Less then a 10 minutes drive from The Red Shoe Pub and the town of Mabou.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time at this campsite! The access to the location is very convenient, and the area is absolutely beautiful — a true gem for nature lovers. The host is incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. He explained where the best fishing spots are, helped us launch the kayak, and even suggested the best place to set up our tarp.
Even though the weather was damp and rainy, we still wanted to light a campfire, and the host kindly helped us with firewood — that meant a lot. The surrounding nature is breathtaking: there's a lake right nearby with an island. We didn’t explore it this time, but we’re definitely planning to do so next time!
There are a few great spots on the property for parking a camping trailer or pitching a tent. The host truly cares about his guests, and it shows in everything he does. We highly recommend this place — you won’t regret visiting! It was an unforgettable and amazing experience. Huge thanks to the host for his care, kindness, and hospitality!

Overview
About
Embrace the call of the ocean at Point Michaud Beach Provincial Park, where the Atlantic's waves beckon surfers and the golden sands invite endless exploration. Here, the 3 km stretch of beach offers a serene escape, with supervised swimming in the warm months and a backdrop of marram-graced dunes and vibrant cranberry bogs. Whether you're catching a wave or soaking in the coastal beauty, Point Michaud is a treasure trove of maritime adventures.
When to go
The prime time to visit Point Michaud Beach Provincial Park is between July and August when the beach is supervised and the sun warmly embraces the shores. Off-season visits offer solitude but come with cooler temperatures and unsupervised waters. Avoid the park during inclement weather, as the Atlantic can be unforgiving.
Know before you go
- Check the weather forecast before your visit, as conditions can change rapidly by the sea.
- Supervised swimming is available from July to August – safety first!
- Surfing opportunities abound, so bring your board or rent one nearby.
- Accessibility may vary across the park, so inquire ahead for specific needs.
- Remember to respect the natural habitat, including the delicate sand dunes and cranberry bogs.
