I found out about this campground in the AAA book, and I RV camped there in September 2008.

Describe your camping trip:

Absolutely the best. The owners are very nice and helpful. Not only did they deliver firewood right to our site, but they assisted us with sites to see in the area. The campground and facilities were kept very clean, and the grounds were well maintained.
Pros: The rules and map of the campground were given and reviewed as we checked in. The sites are large enough to give you a sense of privacy and spaced throughout the property. Very spacious!

Cons: They weren't open September 30 for the changing of the leaves.
Nearby attractions: The historic town of Pictou, the beach, Prince Edward Island Ferry.
Further comments: I would highly recommend this family campground. The Nova Scotians are the friendliest people we have met during our travels.

"WE HAD CAMPED AT BIRCHWOOD CAMPGROUND IN AUGUST OF 2009 THE GROUNDS WERE CLEAN BUT THE BATHROOMS UP ON TOP OF THE HILL WERE VERY FILTHY SO I CAME TO USE THE THE WASHROOMS DOWN THE HILL THERE WAS MOLD IN THE SHOWER THEY WERE NOT VERY WELL MAINTAINED THE POOL WAS GREEN AND I DID NOT FIND THAT THE OWNERS WERE VERY FRIENDLY OR HELPFUL AT ALL. IN THE BOOK THEY SAY THEY HAVE PLANNED ACTIVITIES ON THE WEEKEND NOTHING THE WEEKEND I WAS THERE."
