Campgrounds near Annapolis Royal
Annapolis Royal sits on the south bank of the Annapolis River at the western end of the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia, where the river opens into the Annapolis Basin and the Bay of Fundy. The town has a long history in the province and functions as a practical hub for RV travellers exploring the Fundy Shore, the Valley wine region, and the South Shore.
Campgrounds cluster in three bands around the town: waterfront sites on the Annapolis Basin and Bay of Fundy, wooded provincial park sites inland, and small private grounds in surrounding villages. Dunromin Campsites and Cove Oceanfront Campground both put RVs on saltwater, with shoreline on the Annapolis Basin and Bay of Fundy near the entrance to the valley.
Inland options include Valleyview Provincial Park north of Bridgetown, plus Bear River Millyard Recreation Campground and Camp Cottages and Bridgetown Family Camping for travellers wanting a quieter valley base within a short drive of town services.
Things to do near Annapolis Royal
The town itself anchors most day plans. Fort Anne, dating to the early 1600s, is a National Historic Site, and the Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens and Port-Royal National Historic Site sit within a short drive. Whale-watching tours and the ferry to Saint John run out of nearby Digby.
Kejimkujik National Park is roughly an hour south and functions as the regional outdoor draw. The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada designated Kejimkujik a Dark-Sky Preserve in 2010, and canoe routes, hiking trails, and Mi'kmaw petroglyph sites reward a full day trip.
Cove Oceanfront Campground offers direct access to the Bay of Fundy shore, which is useful for tide-watching, and Bear River Millyard Recreation Campground and Camp Cottages sits close to the artisan village of Bear River.

The camping season here is short and driven by Atlantic Canada's climate. Valleyview Provincial Park operates from early June to mid-October, and most private campgrounds in the Annapolis Royal area run a similar late-spring to mid-fall window. Outside these months, expect closures across both public and private sites.
July and August are peak season. Weekends and long weekends book out first, especially at waterfront campgrounds and inside Kejimkujik. Blackflies and mosquitoes are heaviest in late spring and early summer, easing by August. Late June through early October brings the warmest weather and best swimming, while the shoulder months trade crowds for cooler nights.
September and early October deliver strong Valley foliage and quieter sites, but overnight lows drop quickly. Warm clothing and sleeping bags are recommended during the shoulder seasons, and some services scale back before closing dates. Most provincial camping parks close by mid-October.

This RV was absolutely perfect for our camping trip! It was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great stay. Dave was wonderful to communicate with and was always responsive. The RV felt like a home away from home and made our trip so enjoyable. All you really need to bring are your towels, bedding, and food, and you’re all set! We would definitely recommend this RV and will book again next summer. Thank you Dave!
Christine H. - Aug 2026
We had a wonderful experience renting this RV. It was extremely clean, well-maintained, and perfectly suited for our family of five. Our kids (ages 4, 10, and 11) were very comfortable and really enjoyed the trip. Everything was thoughtfully set up, making it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time together. We truly appreciated how family-friendly and convenient the RV was. We’re already looking forward to renting it again next year!

How to book a campsite
Nova Scotia provincial parks and Parks Canada sites use separate reservation systems. For Valleyview Provincial Park and other provincial campgrounds, reservations run through novascotia.goingtocamp.com or by phone at 1-888-544-3434. The provincial system opens each spring on a staggered launch date, and the flexible-dates search covers up to four months in advance, which helps when specific weekends are already full.
Kejimkujik National Park uses the Parks Canada reservation portal at reservation.pc.gc.ca or 1-877-RESERVE. Popular sites, oTENTiks, and cabins can sell out quickly after the launch date. Private campgrounds including Dunromin Campsites, Cove Oceanfront Campground, Bear River Millyard Recreation Campground and Camp Cottages, and Bridgetown Family Camping take direct bookings by phone or through their own websites, and summer weekends should be locked in well ahead of arrival.
What to expect on site
Site standards vary widely between operators. Valleyview is a smaller wooded park with spacious sites, many of which can accommodate RVs or travel trailers over 40 feet. The campground itself is unserviced, though there are water taps near the campsites. Private grounds along the coast tend to offer full or partial hookups, laundry, and playgrounds.
Waterfront air is noticeably cooler than inland, and Bay of Fundy sites see strong tidal shifts through the day. Leashed pets are allowed at most campgrounds, and at provincial parks dogs must stay on a leash no longer than six feet and are not permitted in public structures or designated swimming areas.
Fire rules follow provincial burn restrictions. No campfires are allowed between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm, and burn restrictions are updated daily at 2:00 pm, so check the Nova Scotia BurnSafe map before lighting a fire.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Annapolis Royal, NS
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Annapolis Royal?
An RV rental in Annapolis Royal is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Bay of Fundy and Annapolis Valley. On RVezy, you'll typically find travel trailers from around $90 to $150 CAD per night, campervans from $150 to $225, and larger Class C motorhomes between $200 and $325. Shoulder season (May, June, September, October) offers the best rates, since July and August book up fast. For a cheap RV rental in Annapolis Royal, filter by travel trailers and book midweek. Pro tip: many hosts offer weekly discounts of 10-15% off the nightly rate on 5-7 night bookings.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Annapolis%20Royal%2C%20Nova%20ScotiaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Annapolis Royal, NS?
A regular Class 5 driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Annapolis Royal, no special RV endorsement or commercial license required, even for larger Class C motorhomes. RVezy renters are generally required to be 25 or older, and your ID is verified securely through the platform during checkout. Visiting from the US or overseas? Your home country's valid driver's license works in Nova Scotia for short visits, and an International Driving Permit is a smart add-on if your license isn't in English or French. Most first-timers are surprised how straightforward the process is.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental insurance and protection included when I book in Annapolis Royal?
Yes, every RV rental in Annapolis Royal booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the Evangeline Trail with real peace of mind. RVezy protection plans cover damages to the vehicle at the coverage level you choose during checkout, not one set by the host. That means you decide how much extra cushion you want for your Nova Scotia trip. Roadside help, tire changes, jump-starts, and lockout support are all included, day or night. It's one less thing to worry about when you're chasing tides and lighthouses around the Bay of Fundy.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Annapolis Royal RV booking?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy applies a standard cancellation policy to every reservation, including a full money-back grace period right after you book, so you can lock in the perfect rig for your Annapolis Royal RV trip with confidence. Cancellation terms are set by RVezy (not by individual hosts), and the refund amount depends on how far in advance you cancel. If a host ever needs to cancel, you'll receive a refund or travel credit. Life happens, and the policy is built with that in mind. Our support team is available before, during, and after your trip to walk you through your options.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV rental in Annapolis Royal?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in Annapolis Royal is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) in their rigs. Annapolis Royal is a great dog-friendly destination: leashed pups are welcome on the waterfront boardwalk and on many trails in nearby Kejimkujik National Park. The dykes along the Annapolis River and trails around Upper Clements are excellent morning walks. Pro tip: pack a collapsible water bowl and a beach towel, because muddy Fundy tidal flats are basically a dog's dream playground.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ns/kejimkujikCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Annapolis Royal?
Yes, RV delivery in Annapolis Royal is offered by many RVezy hosts and it's the easiest way to start your trip, especially if it's your first time renting an RV. Your host will tow or drive the rig to your campground, cottage driveway, or private property in the Annapolis Valley, then level it, hook up water and power, and give you a full walkthrough of everything from the propane stove to the awning. Popular delivery spots include Dunromin Campsite, Raven Haven Family Park, and Jeremys Bay Campground in Kejimkujik National Park. Filter by Delivery on the search page and message the host with your destination to confirm distance fees.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Annapolis%20Royal%2C%20Nova%20ScotiaHow far can I drive on an Annapolis Royal RV trip?
You've got plenty of room to roam. Most RVezy hosts in Annapolis Royal offer generous daily mileage allowances (often 150-200 km per day included), and some list RV rentals with unlimited mileage, ideal if you're planning a big Nova Scotia loop. From Annapolis Royal, you can reach Digby in about 35 minutes (32 km), Halifax in 2.5 hours (200 km), the Cabot Trail in around 5.5 hours, and the Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick in roughly 4 hours via the Digby ferry. Check the listing's mileage policy before booking, and if you're planning a longer route, message the host about an unlimited-mileage upgrade.
novascotia.com/plan-your-trip/getting-here-and-around/Where are the best campgrounds near Annapolis Royal?
You're spoiled for choice. Top picks for RV camping near Annapolis Royal include Dunromin Campsite in Granville Ferry (just across the causeway, with full hookups and Bay of Fundy views), Raven Haven Family Park on Sandy Bottom Lake (great for swimming), Valleyview Provincial Park near Bridgetown (rustic and quiet), and Jeremys Bay Campground inside Kejimkujik National Park (about 45 minutes south, with paddling and dark-sky stargazing). Kejimkujik is a designated Dark Sky Preserve, so book a site there at least 2-3 months ahead if you want stars without city glow.
reservation.pc.gc.ca/When is the best time to rent an RV in Annapolis Royal?
Late May through mid-October is the sweet spot for RV camping in Annapolis Royal, with warm days, cool nights, and most campgrounds open for the season. July and August bring the warmest weather (averaging 22-25°C / 72-77°F daytime highs) and are perfect for swimming at Sandy Bottom Lake, though they're also the busiest. September is a local favorite: fewer crowds, comfortable 18-20°C days, and the Annapolis Valley's apple harvest and fall foliage peaking in early October. Winters are mild by Canadian standards but most private campgrounds close from late October to May. Book early-summer rentals 2-3 months ahead.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in Annapolis Royal?
You're going to do great. Annapolis Royal is an ideal place for a first time renting an RV: Highway 101 and Route 1 through the Annapolis Valley are flat, well-paved, and low-traffic compared to most Canadian highways. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through driving, hookups, the slide-out, propane, and the toilet so nothing's a mystery. If you're nervous about a bigger rig, consider booking a campervan rental in Annapolis Royal (Class B size, drives like a large van) or choose a host who delivers. Pro tip: the causeway road across the tidal generating station is straight and easy, perfect for getting your bearings on day one.
novascotia.ca/sns/rmv/safe/drivers-handbook.aspWhat happens if my RV breaks down during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every motorhome rental in Annapolis Royal booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you've got a flat outside Bridgetown or a dead battery at Kejimkujik. Roadside covers towing, tire changes, lockouts, jump-starts, and fuel delivery. Your host is also your best resource for rig-specific questions, and most respond quickly via the RVezy app. There's a Canadian Tire in Middleton (about 30 minutes east), so even the rare bigger fix is easy to coordinate.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trip routes from Annapolis Royal?
You're perfectly positioned for an epic RV road trip from Annapolis Royal. The classic loop heads east along the Evangeline Trail through Wolfville wine country to Halifax (200 km, 2.5 hours), then up to Peggy's Cove and the South Shore. For seafood lovers, drive 35 minutes to Digby for legendary scallops, then continue down the French Shore to Yarmouth. Adventurous travelers can take the Digby-Saint John ferry (about 2.5 hours) to reach the Hopewell Rocks and Fundy National Park in New Brunswick. Cross-border trips to the US are allowed with most hosts (confirm in advance), but trips to Mexico aren't permitted under RVezy coverage.
novascotia.com/see-do/trails/evangeline-trail/What should I budget for fuel on my Annapolis Royal RV trip?
Fuel is the biggest variable in your trip budget. Travel trailers (towed by your tow vehicle or the host's truck) and campervans typically get 18-22 L/100km, while larger Class C motorhomes average 23-28 L/100km. Gas prices in Nova Scotia are regulated weekly by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board. For a typical 5-day trip covering 500 km around the Annapolis Valley and Bay of Fundy, budget roughly $150-$250 CAD in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in Middleton or Kingston where prices tend to be a few cents cheaper than in smaller villages along Route 1.
nsuarb.novascotia.ca/petroleum-pricingHow far in advance should I book a campground near Annapolis Royal?
Book early and you'll have your pick of the best spots. For Kejimkujik National Park, reservations open in mid-January through the Parks Canada Reservation Service and prime summer weekends sell out quickly. Nova Scotia Provincial Parks like Valleyview open reservations in early April via parksnscamping.ca. Private campgrounds like Dunromin and Raven Haven generally take bookings 6-12 months ahead, with July and August filling first. For a smooth Annapolis Royal RV trip, aim to book campsites 2-4 months in advance for summer, or 2-3 weeks ahead if you're traveling in June or September. Pro tip: midweek arrivals almost always have openings.
reservation.pc.gc.ca/What are driving conditions like around Annapolis Royal?
Driving here is genuinely relaxing. Annapolis Royal sits along Highway 101 and Route 1 in the Annapolis Valley, where roads are flat, well-maintained, and far less congested than urban Canadian routes. Watch for deer at dawn and dusk (especially between Annapolis Royal and Kejimkujik on Route 8), occasional fog rolling in off the Bay of Fundy in early morning, and narrow shoulders on some rural roads near Granville Ferry. Winter driving (December-March) can bring snow and ice, so most RV trips happen May-October. Pro tip: the tidal causeway crossing into Granville Ferry has stunning views, but pull over at the lookout rather than gawking from the driver's seat.
511.novascotia.ca/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Annapolis Royal?
Most campgrounds near Annapolis Royal are well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Private parks like Dunromin and Raven Haven offer 30-amp electrical, water, and sewer hookups at most sites, plus laundry, showers, Wi-Fi, and on-site dump stations. Kejimkujik National Park's Jeremys Bay Campground has unserviced and partially serviced sites with potable water taps, flush toilets, hot showers, and a dump station near the entrance. Pro tip: top up your fresh water tank before heading into Kejimkujik, as fill stations there can have lineups on summer weekends.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ns/kejimkujik/activ/campingWhat's included inside the RV I rent in Annapolis Royal?
You'll be impressed by how turn-key these rigs are. Most RVs on RVezy in Annapolis Royal come fully equipped for camping: comfortable beds (usually sleeping 4-6), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, sink, cookware and dishes, a bathroom with toilet and shower, a dining area, air conditioning and furnace, and seatbelted seats for travel. Many include outdoor essentials like a propane BBQ, camp chairs, and an awning for those long Bay of Fundy sunsets. Generators, solar setups, and TVs vary by listing, and Wi-Fi is usually via your own mobile hotspot since rural Nova Scotia cell coverage can be spotty near Kejimkujik. Check the listing's amenities tab and message the host if something specific matters to you.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Annapolis%20Royal%2C%20Nova%20ScotiaWhat add-ons can I get with my Annapolis Royal RV rental?
Hosts in Annapolis Royal offer useful add-ons to make your trip easier. Common extras include delivery and setup (typically priced per km from the host's base), generator use, bike racks, kayaks or SUPs (perfect for paddling the Annapolis River or Kejimkujik's lakes), camp chairs, fire pits, and linen and towel packages. Mileage policies vary by host: some include 100-200 km per day, others offer unlimited mileage upgrades. Pickup and dropoff are usually at the host's home, but delivery means you don't have to drive at all. Pro tip: book add-ons when you book the rig, since hosts may not have them available last-minute.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Annapolis%20Royal%2C%20Nova%20ScotiaHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book an RV rental in Annapolis Royal through RVezy, you pay in full through the platform using a credit card, no cash or e-transfers needed. A refundable security deposit (typically several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the rig) is pre-authorized on your card before pickup, not actually charged, and it's released after your trip ends assuming no damage or policy violations. To avoid issues, do a thorough walk-around video with your host at pickup and dropoff, return the rig with the agreed fuel and tank levels, and stick to the mileage allowance.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhere can I park an RV overnight in Annapolis Royal outside of campgrounds?
You've got a few options beyond traditional campgrounds. The Town of Annapolis Royal does not permit overnight RV parking on downtown streets or in public waterfront lots, so plan ahead. Harvest Hosts members can stay overnight at participating wineries and farms across the Annapolis Valley. Some retailers and truck stops in nearby communities along Highway 101 may allow a one-night stay with manager permission, but always call ahead. For longer stays, stick to designated RV parks. Pro tip: never leave slides out or set up chairs in a parking lot, that's the unwritten rule that keeps these stops open for everyone.
