Wayside Camping Park

The park was easy to find. It is located on highway 333 (Peggy’s Cove Road) about 40 minutes from Halifax’s Water Front and about 10 minutes from Peggy’s Cove. There is pavement all the way. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. The rules are really basic. You are expected to just use common sense and respect your fellow campers. The interior roads are a mix of gravel and dirt.Our site, 35 was a back in that was just long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp, water and sewer) were to the left side. Be aware, the sewer connection is just an open pipe that you cover with a rock when you leave, Not very sanitary plus there is strong odors when you dump. Distancing is close for a rural park. Each site has a table and a fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was a bit rough looking. Some TLC is definitely needed. The owner’s residence appears to be undergoing some renovation….that is obviously taking a long time. Grass/weeds need to be mowed. There is just a lack of care and it shows.The park included wifi is incredible. One of the best we have used. There is no cable TV and found no OTA TV. Satellite might be difficult because of the trees if you don’t have a portable dish. We did not use the washrooms or showers but we checked and found them clean. The laundromat is out of service and it appears that no attempt to bring it back is in the works. There is a rough playground for the youngsters.There are no restaurants or stores within easy walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores. Ice and firewood can be purchased from the office. We found this park to be a good base to use for visiting the local attractions. We paid $40.00 per night and we feel we received good value. We will be back if in the area again.

The trees are so amazing and lots of lush green space to enjoy. Owners Debbie and Keith were helpful and kind.

If you're looking for a quiet get away, well this is the place for you. We spent the July 1st weekend here and it was wonderful. Beautiful green grass, lots of trees for shade well kept grounds. Bathrooms were clean and no smelly garbage left in bins. Staff was friendly and on hand when needed. Unfortunately there is no pool or playground so bringing kids mite be a little bit of a challenge, luckily our little girl found a group of wonderful friends to run around with to help pass the time . The wifi is only available at the office and The beach is also a drive away. Also it would be best if you bring your own firewood as the wood they have burns very fast and has a bit of a strange smell to it ... We have no idea why but it does lolI would recommend this campground and we will be back!!

May be one of the worst campground we did in five months in Canada.40$ for a service site, the price is correct but wifi is not available in the campsite, laundry doesn’t work, washroom and shower in a poor shape plenty of insects, and pit fire are full of rubbish ! You have to clean it yourself before use it.

We stayed at wayside 8 years ago and again we are impressed by the view. If you get the chance to get sites 1 to 6 you have a front row seat to a ever changing view of the bay. We were self contained so i can't report on other things in the park. If there was a down side it would have been they only have 30 amp power but water and sewer at the sites.I would recommend it to anyone.

Fifth time of choosing this wonderful place as our first or last stay during our North America trips with shipping our own RV between Halifax NS and Hamburg GER.The natural scene around and the kindness of people and especially of staff hereby are awesome.We know and love the feeling of real Camping and the differences to hotels...

The registration office was very nice, and allowed us to change sites when we asked to move to one with more available sun. The washrooms were a wee bit of a hike as they were downhill from our campsite, and the one located closer to us had been shut down. I'd stay there again.

Wayside camping is Amazing! Perfect location between Halifax and Peggy's Cove. A Beautiful waterside drive, lots to see! Kind and humble establishment. The owner is amazing and gives excellent services. All in all, Beautiful!

We really enjoyed camping in this park. It is run by a local family and their service is excellent. They are on hand to help if needed. Prices are good, and on par with most campgrounds. Firewood is good, which is very important to us. Great sites and services, and a more secluded tenting area and section with woods. Our site had a great view of the ocean and the local Cape Islander boats. Well worth the chance.
