Last night a guy floated past our site in an inner tube drinking a beer, hard to beat that! We bought lobster in Lunenburg yesterday, cooked it at our site and ate it by the creek. AMAZING. The owning family is sooo friendly! Dave, you rock!!! Dog and daughter have spent their evenings playing in the creek. Today, we took our much awaited tour of Oak Island which lived up to our anticipation, just an amazing history. If you are camping and want to take the tour, I can't imagine a better place to stay. However, I would seriously just return here to camp and enjoy the area and the campground.

Literally the worst KOA I have ever experienced. I paid for a 50 amp site. Once I arrived and got…read moresituated in my "50" amp site, I realized it was only 30 amp. When I returned to the office to let them know they informed me that they don't even have any 50 amp sites and clearly I had made a mistake. When I showed them my reservation, they did nothing but give me a snotty attitude. Now, even the 30 amp power is not working at my site. Oh, and this "Halifax" koa is nowhere near Halifax. It's a 30 minute drive. I'm currently still waiting for any power. Update: The manager did give me a full refund. And we moved to Neptune Campground which is lovely:)

Porter's Lake Provincial Park is less than 30 minutes from Halifax. This makes it a great spot to…read moreget away for the weekend, or for visitors to the area. We have camped at Porter's Lake several times, both in the RV sites and in the unserviced sites. The campground is located on a peninsula and an island, which is accessed by a bridge. This is a family campground, meaning there has never been any rowdy behaviour during our stays. There is a playground as well as a small beach. The park also has day-use picnic areas and a boat launch. There are water taps throughout the campground, and a comfort station with free showers, sinks, and flush toilets. The campground does not have wifi, but you can use the park's wifi at the ranger station. Each site has a picnic table and a campfire box. The 10 RV sites are set in two rows in an open area next to the lake. They are angled so each one has a view of the lake. Each site is about 50x50', grassy with level gravel pads, and has 2-way hook ups. There are some shrubs and small trees here and there, but not close enough to the pads or roads in the RV area to hit your vehicle. There is a dump station at the campground entry point. The unserviced sites are in two areas. One on a small hill on the peninsula, and the other on the island. A lot of the sites on the peninsula are good for RVs as well as tents. There are 38 sites here. Most are large. The sites are pretty open, so some have nice views, but there are a lot of small trees surrounding the sites, and, since many are staggered up the hillside, you still have a sense of privacy. There are also a few walk-in sites. The comfort station is at the top of the hill. The island's 32 sites are smaller, so more suited to tents. There are also some walk-in sites that are very private and border directly on the lake. Pretty nice to wake up to the sound of waves lapping on the water's edge. The online reservation system has pictures of each site, to help you pick one best suited to you.

The park is a great size, with lots of places to set up camp, not to mention loads of areas to slip off of the shore and into the water. You can bring canoes and kayaks and enjoy some paddling, or else participate in land fun with bikes and balls, nets and rackets. The park changed quite a bit during hurricane Juan and now boasts more spacious sites, with new areas for RV access. There are no electrical hookups around the regular pitch areas, but if you have an RV you can get on the grid. There are toilets and showers available, as well as outhouses and taps sprinkled throughout the park. This is a great location for a city getaway. It only takes about 20/25 minutes to drive to the park from Halifax, but once you're there you'll feel miles away from town with the natural world warmly surrounding you. Make a reservation and head there in the summer - this is a lovely park that all should take advantage of!

Hard to believe no one else has reviewed this little gem of a park. Nestled smack dab in the middle…read moreof the what I like to call "Halifax Heaven", this park may be small in size but it is big in potential for lazily watching the world go by for hours and hours on end. You won't find any playground here (unless you count the mounds of leaves during the fall or the opportunity to build the perfect snowman during the winter) but you will find ample room to lay down a blanket, bring a few good books and spend some quality time with your little ones. Don't have any little ones in tow? Bring the one you love and snuggle up under the shade of a tree during the summer while sharing a few slices of Salvatore's pizza or an iced drink from Julien's or Starbucks. Every winter there is a Christmas tree lightening festival that is pretty awesome. On the hottest of days you might find me under the shade of a tree with laptop in tow watching a movie, picnic on hand, watching the people come and go... It doesn't get any better than that my friends.

I know what your thinking however, I bet the compensate by having a wonderful staff and a variety of park like activities (as this closely resembles a park with a fixation on dictatorship) but this is not the case, in particular this old lady had me fearing for my own life and those of the small children jammed into this grounds. While closely resembling the features of a gargoyle, her communication skills mirror her image. She is also quite liberal with assigning blame, and punishment... which of course is a hefty fine. Should you happen to find yourself in this area please prepare yourself by simply turning around and not endangering your wallet or pride.
