Confrontational, disrespectful management. All is well until your money is received. In more than thirty years of camping and RV'ing to many areas of Canada and abroad, we have not encountered such an experience. Total lack of safety when park maintenance is performed around and near very young and small children using playground and play structures at this campground. High speed mowing and motorized equipment used very close to vehicles and children is beyond belief. This is a tragic accident just waiting to happen. Supervision is a must at this location and any of our attempts to ask for anternate maintenance times went unanswered and safety concerns ignored. We camped here in a Tent.
This is one of two campgrounds listed in Woodall's in Pictou. This one is to the west of the rotary, and the other is to the east. We first tried the other one but it was full of dumpy seasonal units, with no shade. Birchwood is a nice family campground, a little small but very neat. There are a few seasonal units. We stayed in a space at the top of the hill and had to bring out the leveling blocks. On the hill, the sites are a little close together. It doesn't look like a big rig would be able to maneuver in this campground. Would stay here again due to proximity to PEI ferry. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Downwind from large paper mill, this place stinks. Roads in the campground were in bad need of repair, as were the restrooms and showers. Mostly occupied by seasonal residents, the sites available for overnighters were on the back side of the campground and accessible on a narrow curvy road. The only thing this campground has going for it is its proximity to the PEI Ferry. If you can, pass this one by. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park has many full time residents or vacation units. Our site was a roughly hewn pullthru, not very level. the park is not especially attractive, though it is conveniently located near the PEI ferry. Pictou is a charming town and worth the visit. The owner/manager of the park is a delightful fellow, very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent wifi close to the office, which is on the shore of Pictou Harbor, near it's exit to Northumberland Strait, with a small lighthouse. CG is mostly grassy sites, on a hill gently sloping to the shore, mostly open for good satellite views. There are a lot of seasonal units, but most were well kept, and all the people we met very friendly and looking to be helpful. CG is 2-3 miles east of town, close to PEI ferry. we would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
