    The best camping near East River Provincial Park guide

    Overview

    About

    Nestled along the serene Mahone Bay, East River Provincial Park is a treasure waiting to be discovered. Venture just 1 km east of Hwy 103, Exit 7, and find yourself amid a picturesque ocean cove that invites you to explore its tranquil waters. Whether you're kayaking, picnicking, or simply soaking in the scenic views, East River offers a peaceful retreat from the everyday hustle.

    When to go

    The ideal time to visit East River Provincial Park is during the warm summer months, from June to August, when the weather is perfect for outdoor activities. Conversely, the off-season, particularly from late fall to early spring, can be less ideal due to cooler temperatures and limited park services.

    Know before you go

    • Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
    • Be mindful of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your trip accordingly.
    • Wear appropriate footwear for exploring the rugged coastal terrain.
    • Remember to bring your camera to capture the stunning oceanic landscapes.
    • While amenities may be limited, the natural beauty of East River is abundant—prepare to carry out your trash.
