Five Islands Provincial Park

The campsites are really nice here. It is mostly for people with trailers, but there are a handful of campsites for people with tents. Most sites are wide open with little to no tree cover, but you are on grass, which is a plus. The major attraction here is the tides and the fact that you can walk out during low tide and explore the ocean floor. The sunsets are quite nice there too.The people there were super nice and we were even offered free fire wood and even lawn chairs since they saw that we didn't have any. The only downside is the bathrooms. We here there for camping 20 years ago and stuff hasn't changed much since then, so they are due for major bathroom renovations. There's only 2 showers available on the whole site and to make things worse, they are open only during certain periods of the day because of an issue with water provisioning. Outside of that time, you have to use the outhouses, which is scary and you can smell them from quite a distance. If they can improve on the bathroom facilities, this would be an amazing place.

We love this park. Did you know that is has some of the most interesting geology in the province? Take a walk along the beach at low tide and make your way east. Some really fantastic, and geologically unique features here. Worth checking out. I cycled the trails around the campground and enjoyed the views from the camp site. The park is high up on a hill, so the views from practically everywhere are fantastic. Staff is great too, and good firewood, which for me is a make or break item.

Beautiful park, very well kept. The spacing between the sites is generous and our site was level enough to sleep comfortably in a tent. The only thing I did not understand is how operating the showers from 09:00 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 21:00 is saving much water, as is claimed by the administration.

Sadly I got sick while staying here and so didn’t get to enjoy the area’s sites, but the people were very friendly and it was a very nice campground.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Is only the first thing to say about this Natural beauty. This Campground on just the drive in relaxes you. With it's perfect paved road with woods on either side. Leading you right to the office, I swear I was in a different province for a moment, or possibly a different country. The views from each campsite in the park are spectacular. Have your pick! Wooded ✔ open ✔ Thank you to Diane at the Office Check-in for all of your help. Because it was slow last evening I practically had the whole place to myself. Which I highly suggest. Diane said to simply have a peek around the park and to go pick a site I loved if I didn't want to keep mine and she'd switch me. So I did! I really appreciated that 'Homey' family feel. Thank you Carol for our wonderful chat and the extra firewood. And for speaking with me about all of your favorite campsites on the phone because you were able to that morning. You were right! #82 is beautiful!! If you're a hiker, go here. The Redhead trail is a hikers dream with views to match. With the beach nearby this park really has everything to offer. And deserves every star I gave. I will certainly be back, and most likely sooner than I planned!

It was a lot of fun exploring Five Islands Provincial Park. If you’re just there for the day, as you’re driving in, keep going beyond where the little cabin in to the sign pointing to the day use area. At the end of it, you’ll come across a parking lot with a washroom nearby. I do not recommend using the washroom as a person with lady parts as it was downright disgusting since it only gets cleaned once daily or when a worker is there during the off season. I went as the tide was receding and it was such an experience walking down the beach where the water previously was only a couple of hours before. You can walk pretty far down the beach, but beware of tide times as you can be left stranded. There is a lot to explore and places to take scenic photos. Very peaceful location with every visitor group having their own personal space.Some tips:- Be sure to check the tide schedule before visiting as it’ll be a different view depending on how high the tide is.- Bring water shoes so that your day shoes doesn’t get super muddy.

Stunning! I had come to the area to chase a few waterfalls, but this park has so much beauty all its own!It was, however, not as clean as some other Provincial parks I've been to. My advice; check there is toilet paper before you sit down...

Great little provincial park. If you plan on hiking, there are a couple of short trails. Most can easily be done in an hour or less by experienced hikers. I recommend taking the red head trail to the lookout. The economy trail has bigger grades than the red head trail (for the most part), but is still pretty accessible.Just a warning, part of the economy trail is not on Google maps, and can be disorienting if you are navigating with your phone.

I stayed at site 16 for just under a week and thoroughly enjoyed it! The water and electrical service was convenient, as well as location in proximity to the day use area/beach.Loop A is a bit far from the washrooms/showers/dish washing area (it’s almost a 1km walk following the campsite roads).The views are spectacular and it’s a must see place at both low and high tide! Low tide is wonderful to walk far out, but high tide is nice for swimming on a hot day too.

Very quiet for a long weekend for Canada day, first time we've ever been here, found a great spot we booked the day bookings opened in April. Good sized private lot. Only downside the grass is too tall on the sites, but the weather has been rainy so I get it. Dog friendly, keep them on a leash, lots of vault toilets around and lots of exploring to be had. We will be back!
