Wide Open Wilderness Family Campground

We are a family campground situated on the banks of Nova Scotia’s largest river the beautiful Shubenacadie.

The Shubie experiences the highest recorded tides in the world, and is famous for massive tidal bores. Bald Eagles nest along the river and sightings are very common. Our look off provides a spectacular view of both Eagles and the tidal bore.
Day passes are also available

Updated at WOW…

There have been a few upgrades over the past couple of seasons, including renovated washrooms and showers, laundry facility and updated REC hall.

We now also have a larger pool area.

Also a very important upgraded security system. We now have electronic entrance and exit gates. No vehicle will be allowed entry into the campground without a card issued by the office.

No vehicles will be permitted beyond the gates after 9 PM.
