Cavendish Provincial park campground
Well, for many years (the last 7) my hubby and I have been travelling to cvendish to camp regularly every summer and this year was no different. We always stayed at Sunset camp ground and enjoyed their pool and board walk but this year we tried something different.
We landed in Cavendish without much of a plan but especially no reservations. It was the Monday after the Cavendish Country music festival. We check out sunset and to our disappointment they didn't have a suitable spot for us and the next best spot was filty and right in the middle of a wide open field. We like a little bit of privacy or at least a tree to look at so it was no good, we got a efund and made our way across the street to Cavendish National park. We have the National parks pass so we didn't need to pay for the entry fee (bonus) and we popped in to the campground registration booth. Hubby went up to see what was available while I stayed in the van with the kiddos half holding my breath hoping for a spot and trying to keep the kiddos entertained (by this point we had been driving for 2+ hours. When hubby came back he said we got a spot but with no fire pit (ok i can be ok with that). Our site was #280 it was awesome. We had poer water and sewer, there were trees and the lots had enough space you could almost squeeze another spot inbetween them. Perfect! Also we were very close to a newly upgraded washroom and shower facility. I could see the laundry hut (nice clean big machines, 2 loonies to wash and 1.50 to dry) from our door and the beach was a few minutes past that. The playground wasn't as close as I liked but we enjoyed the walk there and back. I don't believe there are sewer sites near the playground. We hiked the trails near the campground (totalled 5.6km) and another day we took the 1.5hr drive to Greenwich and hiked over 10km there. We visited the dunes and walked the floating boardwalk and not to mention saw where they discovered artifacts over 10000 years old. Made for quite a trip. So dispite the 52.50 to come home over the bridge we will be going back to Cavendish again this year but not to Sunset our old favorite we'll be either at Cavendish national park or find a spot in or near Greenwich.
