Campgrounds near Springhill, Nova Scotia
Springhill sits in central Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, roughly a half-hour drive from the Bay of Fundy shore at Parrsboro and a similar distance from the Northumberland Strait beaches near the New Brunswick border. The town is best known as the birthplace of Anne Murray and for its coal-mining history, and it works well as an RV base for exploring the upper Fundy coast, Joggins Fossil Cliffs, and day trips to Prince Edward Island.
RV travellers have a mix of options within about an hour's drive. Loch Lomond RV Park Ltd. sits near Amherst on the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick border, offering serviced and unserviced sites with pull-through options. Fundy-side choices include Five Islands Ocean Resort and RV Campground, with over 100 overnight sites and 30- and 50-amp hookups, and the municipally run Glooscap Campground in Parrsboro.
Provincial park camping rounds out the options. Five Islands Provincial Park sits above the Minas Basin with dramatic tidal views, and Amherst Shore Provincial Park offers wooded sites a short walk from a Northumberland Strait beach.
Things to do near Springhill
The Fundy coast is the main draw. The Parrsboro area lets visitors experience the world's highest tides and Canada's oldest dinosaur fossils, with the Fundy Geological Museum sharing the region's geological history through exhibits and guided beach tours. Local beaches are known for agate, amethyst, zeolites, and stilbite, Nova Scotia's provincial mineral. The Joggins Fossil Cliffs UNESCO World Heritage Site is a short drive north.
In town, the Anne Murray Centre and the Springhill Miners' Museum both operate seasonally, with the museum offering guided underground tours of a former coal mine.
On the Northumberland side, families use Amherst Shore and nearby beaches for swimming in comparatively warm salt water, and the Confederation Bridge to PEI is within day-trip range. Five Islands Provincial Park has several kilometres of hiking trails along cliffs above the Minas Basin, with beach access at low tide.

The camping season in this part of Nova Scotia is short. Most provincial parks and private campgrounds open in late May or early June and close in mid-October. Both Five Islands and Amherst Shore Provincial Parks operate from early June through mid-October, and Glooscap Campground runs a similar season. Private parks like Five Islands Ocean Resort and Loch Lomond RV Park open a bit earlier in May.
July and August are peak season and can book up well ahead, especially for waterfront and serviced sites. Late June brings warm days but heavy mosquito pressure in wooded parks. September is often the best trade-off: warmer ocean temperatures on the Northumberland side, thinner crowds, and early fall colour inland.
Late summer through October carries some tropical-storm risk. Nova Scotia is occasionally reached by Atlantic hurricanes that curve north-east after affecting the Caribbean; they are usually weakened over cold water but can still bring heavy rain and strong wind. Winter camping is not available at these sites.

We had an awesome trip in this coach! Highly recommend
Shannon A. - Aug 2026
We were super hall with the motorhome from Anthony. Very clean and everything worked as it should. A great guy to deal with and a pretty central location to pickup for touring the maritimes. We’ll probably rent this unit again next year!

How to book campgrounds near Springhill
Nova Scotia's provincial parks, including Five Islands and Amherst Shore, use a single online reservation system operated by the province at novascotia.goingtocamp.com, with a call centre alternative at 1-888-544-3434. Campers can sign up for a Notify Me alert: if a campsite matching the requested criteria opens due to a cancellation, the system emails you. A flexible dates option lets you search availability across an entire month up to four months in advance.
Municipal and private parks book directly. Glooscap Campground takes bookings through the Municipality of Cumberland once its season opens, and Loch Lomond and Five Islands Ocean Resort handle reservations on their own sites.
Nova Scotia's provincial reservation system typically opens for the full summer season in early April, so plan to reserve as soon as calendars go live for peak weekends.
What to expect on the ground
Expect wooded, spacious sites at the provincial parks and more open, tiered sites at private Fundy-side resorts. Five Islands Provincial Park has 92 campsites, including 36 serviced sites with 30-amp electric and drinking water, 46 unserviced sites, and 10 walk-in sites, plus washrooms with showers and a dump station. Amherst Shore has 42 wooded sites, with sites 1 to 27 offering water and electric hookups.
Cell and Wi-Fi coverage is patchy at rural parks. Wi-Fi at Amherst Shore is available only at the park office (password required), and cell signal is very spotty. Bring cash or a card for firewood and ice at park offices.
On the Fundy side, tides swing dramatically. Watch tide tables before walking beaches at Five Islands, Parrsboro, or Joggins, and keep an eye on incoming water to avoid getting cut off.
