Best time to visit Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site of Canada

<cite index="3-2">Late June through early September offers the warmest, most reliable weather, swimmable lake temperatures at Merrymakedge Beach, and full operation of the visitor centre and Jeremy's Bay Campground. Camping is available from mid-May to October</cite>, so the May long weekend and September shoulder season are excellent for RVers seeking quieter loops, cooler nights and fewer biting insects. Early autumn also brings colour to the hardwood forests along the Mersey River. Winter closes most services, though the park remains accessible for day use.

Donna and Baker are wonderful to deal with, quick to reply and answers when you have questions. Delivery of the trailer was on time and setup was quick. Donna gave a great walk around and if you don't remember it all she has a binder with everything included. The trailer is fully stocked such as paper towel, TP, even coffee pods for the Kuerig, 4 lawn chairs, bbq, fire pit and more. Overall it was a great experience and I would not hesitate to book again!!

Donna was great to work with! Replies immediately to messages. The camper is spotless and everything you need is included. Her and hubby went above and beyond after there was an issue with our campsite. Will definitely be renting again and I highly recommend to anyone !! Thanks Donna!

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 get to Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site of Canada

The main entrance sits on Highway 8 at Maitland Bridge, about 165 km (roughly 2 hours) southwest of Halifax and about 65 km (about 45 minutes) north of Liverpool on the Atlantic coast. Annapolis Royal, on the Bay of Fundy, is about 45 km (35 minutes) to the north. Highway 8 is a paved two-lane rural route with no tunnels or major mountain passes, but drivers should watch for wildlife (deer and moose), narrow shoulders and limited fuel stops between towns. Halifax Stanfield International Airport is the nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips.
