Best time to visit Elderbank Provincial Park
Late June through early September brings the warmest, driest weather and the fullest access to nearby trails and rivers. September and early October are excellent shoulder-season choices, with cool days, fall colour in the Musquodoboit Valley, and fewer visitors. Spring visits can be muddy as the river runs high with snowmelt, and winter closes most day-use facilities in the region.

Camper van was absolutely amazing. Comfortable bed, tons of light, fridge, water and everything you could possibly need! Gas wasn’t much more than an suv would be. Dean is a fantastic guy and made we knew everything about the van before heading out and was great dealing with little hiccups along the way. Would recommend this way of travel (and renting through Dean) to anyone!

Caroline and her husband were wonderful hosts! They took the time to get us up to speed on their van, and point out what we needed to know. The van came well equipped with stove, camping chairs and even an awning! We great enjoyed our trip in their van!

How to get to Elderbank Provincial Park
From Halifax, the park is roughly a 50 km drive northeast via Highway 107 and Route 357 through the Musquodoboit Valley, about 45 to 60 minutes by RV. From Truro, it is about 90 km south via Route 224 and Route 357, around 75 minutes. Route 357 is a paved two-lane rural road with some rolling grades and narrow shoulders, so larger motorhomes and towables should drive cautiously and watch for wildlife. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travellers is Halifax Stanfield International Airport, about 40 km west of the park.
