Favourite places to stay - Canada

Now that we are back in the house and have our internet turned on I can go through my notes and list off some details of the trip:

Here are our favourite campsites in Canada that we stayed at:  (click on the name to view the website)

Brae Island Regional Park in Langley, BC.  Close to town, a 5 minute walk into Fort Langley, lots of wildlife (rabbits, owls, birds, frogs).  Kayak and bike rentals available.

Beachcomber RV Park in Saanich, BC.  Right on the water, lots of driftwood to have bonfires on the beach, very private setting away from the city.

Kettle River Provincial Park, Rock Creek, BC.  Dry Ponderosa Pine forest, very nice setting.  Great spot to tube down the river from one end of the campsite to the other, a short walk back.  Lots of bike riding trails.

Rainbow Falls Provincial Park (Rossport), Terrace Bay, ON.  Right on Lake Superior, a nice setting.

Pancake Bay Provincial Park, Batchawana Bay, ON.  Beautiful white sandy beach right on Lake Superior.  Each site is very private and most sites are beachfront.

Twin Shores, Darnley, PEI.  A beautiful red-sand beach on the North side of PEI.  Private sites, lots of fun activities (hay rides, free movies, music and mussels on the beach).  Beach fires permitted.

Brudenell River Provincial Park, Georgetown, PEI.  On the East side of PEI, swimming pool, horseback riding, $5 golf at the Devine Nine for registered campers, private sites.

Kouchibouguac National Park, NB.  Board walk over the tidal flats to the ocean, many different seabirds, kayak and bike rentals.  Lots of bike trails.

MacLeod's Beach, Dunvegan, Cape Breton Island, NS.  Beautiful white sand beach hidden away from the campsite, hiking trails.

Green Cove, Neil's Harbour, Cape Breton Island, NS.  Not a campsite but a rest stop right beside the surf on the rocks, a beautiful place to spend one night tucked away in a very private corner.

Lunenburg Board of Trade campsite, Lunenburg, NS.  Up on the hill above downtown Lunenburg, a 5 minute walk to downtown, spectacular view of the bay.
