I booked at Ford's Cove on the advice of a Hornby resident and I was not disapointed. The one bedroom cabin I stayed at was very comfortable and well supplied. It had everything I needed(dishes, radio etc) and nothing I didn't need. A few nice touches in the cabin I really appreciated were the live plant and the Scrabble and... More

We, like many others, generally book next year's stay when checking out. I don't camp so we rent a 2-bdrm cottage. Over the years the owners have made tremendous improvements both inside and out... full-size appliances in the kitchen, covered cedar deck, major "green" infrastructure projects, they've now installed a water filtration system which takes care of the water pressure...

We've stayed here 3 times now; once camping and twice in the cabins. It's a very nice location at the end of the road, so no car traffic. The campground is very quiet as well, since I think some people come here to avoid the noise at other campgrounds. The cabins are great, and on our most recent stay, we... More

Travelling with truck and camper - and parked on the lawn out back near the washrooms. This is a clean and quiet campsite - steps from the ocean and a park laced with great hiking trails. The road to Ford's Cove is high and narrow in places and it's a tight fit getting into the camping area with limited opportunityes... More

The campground was great. It's in a beautiful setting and is well kept. The operator was very nice and helpful as well. The one HUGE FLAW to this campground was that it is right next to a chicken farm. We were woken up every day at 4am by the roosters. They "cock-a-doodle-do" about every 5-10 minutes, so getting any sleep... More

We just spent a weekend camping at Ford's Cove and found the care taker to be very friendly and helpful. He ran around showing people their campsites and in our situation he also showed us where it was best to put our tent. Very helpful. On another note, it seems there is only 2 washrooms for the whole campsite and... More

I just spent an awesome week at Fords Cove. My grandparents rented a cabin as well as my dad getting a campsite for the week. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the property is gorgeous, and the Island itself is simply magical. The one thing they don't tell you when renting campsites however is that there is a chicken... More

We have been coming to Ford's Cove for several years and each time we are pleasantly surprised by the constant upgrades to the cottages. The sunsets are spectacular and having a well stocked store there is so convenient. The staff and owners are friendly and helpful. This is the type of place you can recommend to your friends and know... More

My husband and I just spent 2 nights here and really enjoyed our stay. The 1 bedroom cottage we stayed in was electrically heated but had a brand new wood stove which we used in the evening (the store sells wood). The deck had a covered area so we could be outside even in the rain. The kitchen has all... More

Spent 2 nights for new years Dec 2011 at Ford's Cove with friends/family. Was a bit worried due to some bad reviews. Called the owner who reassured us all would be fine. We were not disappointed. Lovely cabins. Rented a 2 bdrm and one bdrm w/woodstove and ocean view is awesome. Wonderful way to escape life and relax. Woke up... More
