The best camping near Port-Royal National Historic Site guide

Overview

About

Port-Royal National Historic Site features a reconstruction of the Habitation, an enclosed wooden compound. In 1605, Samuel de Champlain helped establish one of the earliest European settlements in North America on land that is the traditional homeland of the Mi’kmaq. Costumed interpreters will help you understand the challenges faced by the French as they carved out a new settlement. Let your imagination soar as you walk along the shore of the Annapolis Basin, and gaze at the same horizon that the Mi’kmaq experienced for thousands of years and that Champlain saw in 1605. Learn more

When to go

The ideal time to visit Port-Royal National Historic Site is between May 17 and October 13, when the site is open daily from 9am to 5pm. The summer months offer the full experience with interpreters and events. The grounds remain open year-round, offering a quieter but no less scenic visit during the off-season.
