Leaving for Nova Scotia Monday

on our way to/from Newfoundland a few years ago we camped in several provincial parks in New Brunswick and NS:

New River Beach PP, NB
Caribou & Munroe's Island PP, NS
Wolfe Pointe CG, Fundy National Park

these were all nice places with nice walks to do when you arrive etc. We didn't have any reservations and were camping in August.

We spent two weeks on Newfoundland and had a great time. The trip over and back on the big ferry-ships is a hoot.

 

Re the Maine portion: We just got back from a week of camping on Mount Desert Island (Acadia National Park). The Mount Desert Campground on Somes Sound is probably my favorite campground so far that I've taken our Teardrop. It's near the center of the island (but waterfront) and is a good launching point for activities all over the island. It's a challenge though to get spots so you might try reserving now if you plan to pass through this area.

 

Fernlane...we are planning a month long plus trip to Newfoundland in Aug/Sept 2019 as it gets closer and we begin detailed planning if it's o.k will p.m.

 

that'll be fine.
Ferry reservations are something you'll want to early. You can do it online. We went from North Sydney to Port aux Basques heading over (about 6 hours) and returned from Argentia, which is an overnight ferry. Basically worked our way from one side of the island to the other.
I don't remember making any reservations for any of the campgrounds and we stayed on Newfoundland for two weeks in August.
Just a gorgeous, wonderful place. Icebergs are pretty amazing to this southern boy.

I got $594 in canadian dollars which right now equals $454 US dollars. It'll cost more for sure if you return from Argentia and book a cabin as we did.

 

Changed plans earlier this year..had to cancel our Jasper/Banff/Glacier trip 2 years in a row, so headed that way instead of Nova Scotia....2021 hopefully make it there...you can follow us here:
