Is your campground open in October?
Krista,
Our campground is open in October and until the snows fall! Just contact us for reservations, we’re getting groups this fall and even some folks who wish to do some winter camping.
Is camping with a trailer available?
Yes, camping by a trailor is available. The area near Indian Brook has a big area with picnic tables and firesites where you can park a trailor. No electric down there, but can get water.
Other locations, closer to lodge, have areas suitable for trailor or RV; can have electrical hookup and run hose to you. There’s also a “campers” shower and toilet on the deck of Dolly’s house, but no “dumping”. Will send you email with more details and a map; you can also call us at 902 929 2584 with questions.
Hello,
I am wondering if how much it costs to camp with a tent at your campground.
Thank you.

Katharine,
Have gotten back to you via email. Prices depend on site, whether you want canoe/kayak included as part of package. Call
902 929 2584 to reserve, getting real full this summer…
Hello,
I’m wondering how much it costs to camp with a tent at your campground.
There are presently 6 people in my group (all traveling on bicycles). And each person has their own tent. We anticipate traveling through this area on or around August 31st.
I’d also like to know what the canoe / kayak package includes, in the event we stay an extra day.
Thank you!
Krista,
We always have places for cyclists, they have come from as far as British Columbia and California! Many do take extra time with
us to do some kayaking and canoeing/hiking and even swimming to Indian Brook Falls or just some paddling around Church Pond.
It can be arranged for your extra day. Will write you in more detail in an email…and you can tell me where you’re all coming from

Hi. I was just wondering where I can find a price list for the campsites. I would be interested in a spot for a tent for one night. If you could e-mail me the details that would be great.
Amanda, just now have women who come every year and reserve campsite 7, right on Indian Brook with
firesite, picnic table, lots of wood and a place to swim. Go to our camping deck for bathroom and shower.Other sides are scenic and private as well. Will email you the details. Thanks for inquiring about camping at Cabot Shores
Hi there,
What are your camping rates for a single tent, with a bicycle? Just as a thought, it would be really nice if this information was made publicly available on the website instead of only via email. Thanks!
Looking for a camp site with electrical, fire pit (2 families, 4 person each, 2 tents). Do you have one?
Tim,

Angus
Angus,

Hi There,
Interesting plan…we call it lodging adventures–sure can do some combo of camping, yurt & chalet (especially for your parents—usually have 3-7 day minimum on chalet stays, especially in August. Will send you email with more details on availability.
We would like to know if it is possible to make a reservation online for the campground (tent) and the price for one night (July 11th).
Yes, there is availability in our campground for a tent…will send you email directly. Price depends on number of people and location–ie along Indian Brook, in orchard/meadow or nearer to lodge.
About the camping: need to call or email to reserve, as explained in email to you.
I am looking for a tenting site for July 7. It is just me for one night. I am cycling the Cabot Trail and this location would be good for me.
Bike friendly you are and we’ll have a spot for your tent on July 7. Also, a place in our Bistro for food at night and in the morning if you like. Good cycling to you!
How much is it for a basic campsite? I was also wondering if your tipi is availlable for a night at the beginning of September, and what the cost of that would be.
Hi there,
I am looking for a private place on a lake or river where we can set up our tent trailer. Do you allow dogs? thank you!
Melodie,
Yes, we allow dogs and we also are on a lake or pond (Church Pond) and a Indian Brook. Will write to you with more details and you can call 902 929 2584 to discuss your further requirements and to let us know when you’d like to be here and for how long…?
