Last weekend in Fundy National Park

We were out again (of course) this time at Fundy. We stayed in the Chignecto North campground (our third time there this summer). This was out first time with a 3 service site considering they only have 10 available). We previously stayed at sites A78 and A53 (? might have been 52 that was the weekend I woke up with the flu). The full service lot (A7) was ok. It wasn't very private but it did have some trees around. It was nice that it was a pull thru spot, but we had a hard time keeping the trailer level. Probably had to do with all the rain...think we were floating. Over all our stay was nice, the blackflies were bad but at lest they seemed to dumb to bite they just flew around. Our first night there the 2 older boys and i went for a walk and spotted some nice alternative spots but we'll be staying near to the playground for all future visits. The public showers aren't great (water pressure is funky) toilets are ok they flush which is better than a "hole in the ground". The kitchen shelter is nice but with small children you must be cautious with the 2 wood stoves in it. If you can get past that then it's great all around. Also while we were there we discovered Kinnie Brook trail, wow it was nice but more difficult then we had expected. There was a lovely trail through the trees some up and downs but then as you near the brook there is a cliff you climb down, there are stairs but my stairmaster days are far behind me, but we did it. So the boys counted 131 steps..up it felt like it. The trail was so beautiful and not busy it was totally worth the stairs. I recommend it but if you have small children use a backpack carrier or your better judgement. Another nice thing about the trail is you can get to it from the campground so no need to drive there (bonus) We wanted to try their new trail off Hastings rd called Black horse but it looked as thought it is only for bikes (not a shared trail like we assumed) so we continued down Hastings rd little did we know there is a "car hike" through there. A nice gravel road well maintained and took us down the hill, we came out on the main road not far from Dickson Falls...a short cut (sort of). It was fun to explore the park in different places we hadn't been before, guess that's why it's a great place to visit and camp at in my opinion, there's so much to do and you can always find more. If the weather would have been nice we would have made a stop at the pool (filled with Bay of Fundy water) but the weather was too cold. I'm sure the solar heaters were working extra hard. On our way back to camp we noticed some caution tape in the playground area and after checking it out we discoverd they are upgrading the main playground (by the golf course) my boys are some exciting and can't wait to try it out once it's complete. So on our next stay we have a trip to the pool and a stop at the playground to check off the list. But first i believe we are going to check out Murray's beach and camp there for a weekend, it's also a favorite spot of ours.
