Wide Open Wilderness Campground in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia
Account photo We recently stayed at this campground but, after reading some of the reviews I guess we actually got away pretty lucky. We called and reserved a site covering a weekend. When we arrived the site was now $12 a night more than when reserved. In hindsight we should have left but we did not since we were tired and it was coming up on the weekend. The other campers were pleasant and otherwise the stay went OK. The drinking water was very salty and metallic tasting. And when we were ready to leave I had to back the motorhome around the tractor parked in the way at the dump station. At the time I thought "how inconsiderate" to block the facilities rather than walk 10 ft and park out of the way. The only positive I can think of - you can walk to an overlook of the tidal bore from camp. This campground will not be on our list of place to go again.

Wide Open Wilderness Campground in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia
Account photo "Last Place I would Ever Book!!!"......   I booked this campground 5 weeks in advance and booked a 3 way site. We were arriving on Thursday, checking out on Sunday. We were going rafting so we wanted a site with sewer. When we arrived, 7 pm I checked in, given a site number and charge $128. The speed bumps throughout the campground were ridicilous! Some I'm sure were over a foot high. Everything in the trailer was thrown about. We arrived at our site whic was not too bad until we realized there was no sewer hook up. I went back to the office, I told the owner I had booked a 3 way site, she said, "Hun, those need to be booked in advance Hun, if you would have asked Hun you would have gotten one". I did ask for one, if I have known we weren't getting one we never would have booked that long. We went back for ice, a short time later and the office was closed. The gates are closed at 9:30, not allowed out, not allowed in! That far in the woods I can't imagine why the strict security! We sat in out truck on Saturday by the exit to get out, no one came so my husband got out and opened it. He was then told they had to do it. He asked why they were so strict on people leaving and they said they needed to keep track of the people who were coming and going. The place was full of seasonals, constant lawn mowing, deck building and their dogs barking. Not a place to relax. We have camped in many places and this was the worst I have ever been in. As I read some of the other reviews where they say trucks and tractors were parked in the road at night to block the entrance/exit I cannot imagine if there where an emergency where an ambulance needed to get it.

Account photo Oh, come on....maybe you'd better explain how the "mistake" was both yours and the campgrounds.....in any case, probably someone else was waiting to get on the site, so you had to move, and quickly....boo hoo hoo....when did campers become such a group of whiners? And really, is it reason enough to be so malicious, and warn others away from that campground? I'd bet money that you are more at fault for this situation than you're letting on - but that would be typical of campers too - no responsibility-taking!

Recreationland Campground in Cumberland, Ontario
Account photo "Unjustified charges and pool safety"......   We found the campground very convenient to visit Ottawa and area. Had Personal health problems and on arrival stated not sure how long can stay. Staff said fine, Can pay for 3 and then extend to week etc. Stayed and asked about free day and told not a problem but can't override system, will ask owner. Well, owner did not accept, we ended up staying 9 days, but on day 8 power cut off and had to pay for extra day. Also, campground is clean, but showers and bathrooms need some work. Pool stairs VERY slippery, slipped going in and hurt back badly. Small sign warning slippery steps seen AFTER fall;. Not planning to stay there again.

Highland Pines Campground and RV Sales in Belwood, Ontario
Account photo "Customer Service Lacking"......   Just read the review above and found a common link. We too were dealing with the "owner" and he still has the same "I don't care what you think" attitude. He may have waiting lists now, but with his attitude, he won't much longer. We ended up setting up on a wrong campsite (mistake made by both us and the campgrounds). We were just about to eat our meal when it was made clear to us that we had to move NOW!!! There was no resolve - no offer to help - no kindness - no customer service whatsoever. The best was when we were tearing down our campsite and a group of employees and "owner" proceeded to watch us from afar. Pathetic - they should definitely remove the family atmosphere from their website. Where I come from - family helps one another!!!

Account photo Park is located in a quiet setting on the shores of French Lake. (that is the good part) The park is run down, with electrical issues and with water quality you would not want to do your dishes in or never-never drink. There is little to entertain your children and the lake was not (IMO) clean enough to go swimming in. We spent one night and that was plenty!

Camping Joie de Vivre in St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Québec
Account photo "Turned away"......   After ten hours of road travel, I pulled into Camping Joie De Vivre expecting to speak to someone about a place to stay for the night. We had pulled in at 7 PM and the office hours were posted 8 AM to 6 PM. I called the number to find out if there were any spots for us and was told that I had arrived after their hours "We are closed" and turned away without any second thought. We didn't even find out if they had spots or if they were full. We were told to go away. Luckily there was another campground less than 15 Km away that greeted us warmly and found us a spot without any trouble.

Tobermory Village Campground in Tobermory, Ontario
Account photo "Great, well run, well kept campground. Pride shows. "......   We have only ever stayed in their "premium cabins" - which are amazing. Beautiful cabins... Spotlessly clean, well kept; you have a double bed, bunks and a couch, so lots of room. Bathroom with toilet & shower. Little kitchenette type thing with microwave, small fridge, and sink. Outside you have your firepit, picnic table & a charcoal grill. Everything you need! The staff are extremely pleasant and accomodating. Lots of things to do for the kiddies. They may have "rules" but it keeps out the partiers - which is not something a lot of campers want to deal with! Yes, there is a deposit, but I wouldn't be concerned about your deposit unless you have a reason!! (come on now.) Fire wood is brought right to your campsite by them, and it's not the cheap, crap wood you get at other campgrounds, plus you get a fair amount for your dollar. We've been back 2 years in a row and intend on going back again and again. Their pride in their property truly shows. (I can't review for tent or RV sites, as we haven't ever stayed on them)

The park is clean, there are social events for the whole family, bathrooms are cleaned out at least 3-4times a day. And who wouldn't want to play on that big sandhill? The sites are clean and very large. In fact we love it so much that we just bought a trailer and are parking it there!

Rondeau Shores Trailer Park in Morpeth, Ontario
Account photo "Rundown Campground"......   We camp about 6 times a summer and love trying new campgrounds. We had high hopes for Rondeau Shores Park, but our expectations were not met and we will not be back. Pros: - Large shaded lots. - Nice to have both a pool and lake for swimming. - Cement pads on each site. Cons: - Very small campground – takes no more than 5 minutes to walk around. - Overpriced. It is $50 a night for a rundown campground with not many amenities. - Sites are very difficult to back a trailer into – around trees, fire pit, and other things sticking out of the ground. - Very outdated electrical system. Only 15 amp. Larger trailers were tripping breakers frequently. - Water & electrical hookup on some sites is far – need extensions. - VERY DIRTY WASHROOMS. Only cleaned twice a week while we were there (and the campground was full). Most of the time there was only toilet paper in one of four stalls. Also, no soap to wash your hands and nothing to dry your hands with. - The camp store is only open a few hours a day (even on weekends) and not very well stocked. - The path down to the beach is treacherous … steep gravel path through the bush … and once you get down there you have to climb over humongous rocks to get down onto the beach.
"Needless to say, we will not be returning, and from what we heard from the seasonal campers while we were there, they won’t be either!!!"

Birchwood Campground and Cabins in Pictou, Nova Scotia
Account photo "AVOID BIRCHWOOD!"......   When booking for our family trip, it was clearly indicated how many people would be attending and that it was our intent to have a 'reunion'. We had adults and children - all polite and law abiding citizens. The owners of this campground had plenty of opportunity (prior to getting their grubby paws on our money) to let us know that no noise (no laughter, no talking, NOTHING) would be tolerated after 11pm. We do understand there are many campgrounds with those rules and if you're looking for such a place - this is it. We were 'threatened' by the campground owner that he would 'charge extra on our credit cards' if we were noisy. The owners were rude, unpleasant, and sarcastic - even upon checking in...what fools we were for continuing the check-in...we should have known then. There was an extremely foul stench - a sewer smell the entire duration of our stay. The sites are small and crammed in - worse then any other campground we've visited...oh well, more money for the owners...they do make it VERY clear that they offer NO REFUNDS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE...hmmmm...makes me think we're not the first people that weren't satisfied!

Camping Oceanic in Shediac, New Brunswick
Account photo "Don't expect too much"......   Last time we went to Shediac, about 5 years ago, this campground was under construction. When we decided this year to go back to Shediac, we were excited about staying on a "Brand new" Campground. We reserved in March to make sure we have a spot. On our arrival, disappointment began. Our land wasn't leveled. We had to use boosters to bump up trailer left wheels to level trailer. I would have expected better from a new campground. The position of the sewer was let's say... very creative! The guy that designed the campground don't own a trailer... once again, I thought a camping owner would follow international rules for camp sites design. Once parked, the challenge was to find a way to use a camping chair... The ground was so bumpy. Showers... no curtains, so all the splashing water goes on the floor and flood the entire building. We can see black mold and mildew everywhere on the bottom of the toilet and shower dividers. Maintenance... I used shower daily... and I was able to see the same slammed bugs on the shower walls. Playground... if you go there with babies... don't expect baby swing... some of the swings had a broken wooden seats... with bolts scratching tights. The pool is ok. No complaint here. WiFi... we complained on day 2 of our stay. They said they would fix it... after 3 weeks, signal was still on and off, no way to use it 15 minutes in a row... RIDICULOUS and they couldn't careless. Service... like wiFi... They don't even ask if we enjoyed our stay! If you expect a place to stay, where to enjoy a campfire and travel to Parlee Beach... this place is OK. But if you expect more, you should consider other spots.

Sherwood Forest Camping Park in Coldbrook, Nova Scotia
Account photo "Not for us."......   I was pretty disappointed here, while the atmosphere and site setting was ideal(very wooded and I didn't feel like I was even close to town), the sites were small and I actually couldn't distinguish where our site started and began. With three young children I found the pool was the biggest disappointed. The family one (the large one is for adults only) was only open during supervised hours totally 6 hours a day, and I wasn't allowed to bring two of the kids in the deep end (I make them wear floaties/water wings when over their heads) because "they can't swim" which was a HUGE disappointment to the kids. On the plus side bathrooms were clean though basic and in need of some updates, and they along with playgrounds are in handy proximity to sites. They also had a very well stocked canteen which was nice.

Beaverview RV Park and Campground in McBride, British Columbia
Account photo "Mixed blessing"......   This campground is well situated on the way to Jasper (East bound). We were overcharged when requesting an open site w/o hookups as our unit is completely self sustaining. We were told the other sites were fully booked and had to pay the higher rates. We noticed over two evenings the rest of the campground remained 2/3 empty including the sites we were requesting. The river runs behind the campground but the access is gated and alarmed. Otherwise clean and open views.

Wide Open Wilderness Campground in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia
Account photo "Not for me! Or anyone that wants to relax."......   This is obviously a child oriented campground. Its pool swarms with them all day long, and it has some lovely playgrounds and apparently they have activities like Christmas in July and Halloween in August. Unfortunately, I was travelling with a teen. We are used to having a quiet campfire, playing the guitar and enjoying the sound of leaves in the trees – this is definitely not that kind of place. I wouldn’t book here unless; you have lots of young kids who are allowed to screech day in and out, you don't require privacy, you don't mind fending for yourself, you are OK with older, rudimentary facilities, you don't expect super quality service and you aren't looking for R&R. We made a few reasonable requests (including having power to our cabin as advertised, and having a quieter spot away from banshee kids and parents screeching from dawn til dusk at the pool / play area) and were treated like the most demanding customers in history from the first transaction til the last. We had to figure out the power issue ourselves, requiring a few visits to the office – my preferred campgrounds from my home province would have had it taken care of right away. There is absolutely no privacy between sites, which are piled on top of one another. The pool is not very large, and full of young kids – even through the adult pool hours… The water quality was really, really bad – we had to purchase water to drink. Thankfully we didn’t have problems getting in or out as some have mentioned about this place. They clearly dropped the prison aspect at some point… The sites are loaded with seasonal campers who set up for the entire summer – I think this is where they make their money and folks that just want a few days – like we did - are considered major annoyances. This would be a fine place for a family with a ton of kids who want to get really, really well acquainted with their neighbors. But, it’s definitely not the kind of camping I’m used to

Hi Country RV Park in Whitehorse, Yukon
Account photo The guy at the desk was rude and very unfriendly, though the woman there was the oppisite, Overly friendly. it was loud and the power was at the back so we were not able to plug into it. the fire pits are right next to the person next to your camper/rv so you end up with a ton of smoke. it was loud even after quiet hours and the shut the internet down at 10pm. Their was area is at the very bacvk on a gravel road so after you clean your vehicle it imeadiatly gets dirty before you even leave the property. Being as there are a few other locations that also offer food, I would not stay at this site again if I ever travel through the area again

Account photo "Response to ......Fed up with the whining"......   This is my ONLY negative review in 10+ years of camping, and again, if you see how I rated the campground, you'd notice it was very positive except for the owner's behaviour. So before you go shooting you gate off prior to reading and making comments and I'll quote you..."Take my advice - stay in your own trashy back yard and whine to whoever will listen to you there". I would suggest to you, that you take your own advice, and keep your comments to your, what seems to be short tempered self, who seems to think what I care what your say. And as for my "Trashy Back yard", after I park my 2013 32ft trailer in it, well there's still quite a bit of room left for numerous other toys. Let's not get into a financial debate either you'll just come out in the short end there just as you have here in your meaningless comments.

Don't they understand we're just doing our job, that they are NOT the only people staying there, that their trip is what they make of it. How dare you get pissy when we are just trying to enforce rules for EVERYBODY'S safety, why do you think you should be above them? Why do you feel you should get special treatment?

Campground owners could write a book about how campers constantly lie and cheat, are disrespectful and abusive, break as many rules as they possibly can, and nit-pick about every little thing. Instead of taking responsibility for your own issues, you threaten to put your petty complaints all over sites like this. Take my advice - stay in your own trashy back yard and whine to whoever will listen to you there.

Milton Heights Campground in Milton, Ontario
Account photo "NEVER STAY @ MILTON HEIGHTS"......   Rude, unforgiving and money grabbers = Milton Heights personnel. We just spent one of the hottest weekends this summer @ Milton Heights, and it was nothing but problem after problem - starting before we even arrived! Knowing that it has been a very dry summer, we called ahead and were assured (as late as Friday @ 9am) that there was no fire restrictions in place. Upon arrival, not more than an hour later, we were informed that there was a Burn Ban in effect for the entire province. Not their fault, but at the same time, very suspect considering we were told over the phone, that nothing was in place. Okay, so we book the weekend, get our site set up, and set out on our weekend family camping adventure. Saturday morning - 9am. Water is shut off to the entire facilty due to a water main break. Not a big deal, other than the inability to use the toilet facilities, and shower etc. It's only the first morning, so we were not in a great need to shower, weather is beautiful - let's just take a swim in the pool. Noon Saturday, pool is closed. Something happenned in the water (use your imagination, public poool....), closed for "one hour". Okay, time for lucnh anyway, we can go back later. 2 hours go by, now we're told "90 minutes it will be re-open". Hmmm..... Another 2 hours later, we are now told "Pool is closed until tomorrow". Okay, kinda hot out, no pool......good news, water is running again! Okay, cool off with some cold water from the tap, maybe fill a couple of water guns..... Saturday night passes, no fire = early to bed. Sunday morning - still no pool, "maybe by noon"..... Not too hot yet, so no problem, water is running - let's go for showers. NO HOT WATER.....OMG, cold shoeers all around - if you've every tried to clean your hands in cold water with soap, you know the dirt goes away, but still full of germs. This is getting a bit ridiculous. Finally, 1pm, the pool is open again! Great, relief, as it's even hotter today. Sunday night, still no hot water..... Monday morning, no hot water - thst's it, we're not staying for Monday and Tuesday as planned, let's pack up early and move on. Upon informing the office that we will not be staying as planned, "You still owe for 2 bags of ice!.... and you have to be off the property by noon!" Excuse me? I owe you 8 dollars for 2 bags of ice that melted before the evening even arrived due to the lack of a pool, or running water....? You want me to leave immediately..... At the very least they coulda ate the cost for those two lousy bags of ice - nope, not budging. Not even a small apology for they lack of running water, inability to use the pool for over 24 hours, and for the fact that they ran out of propane to heat the water when it finally did come on? (BTW - it's 10am, the propane truck just arrived to solve the hot wtaer issue....) Never again will we stay at Milton Heights - I advise all potential weekend campers or vacationers in general to avoid at all cost!! Cost us over $200 just for the right ti camp for 3 nights - coulda spent that at a nice hotel and still ate dinner too! Oh yeah - we're packed and ready to leave, but we're using your pool until we've had enough water!
