With the Covid thing in full court press, summer 2020 was somewhat limiting in long-trip motorhome options. This year we spent 70 days at Shubie in two segments, with a trip to another NS campground in the middle to 'break up' the summer. Since we live close to the park, each year we use a stay at Shubie to mobilize the rig at the beginning of the season and another visit to demobilize it at the end, before storage. There is a new management team there this year (with prior experience at managing other campgrounds) and both of our 2020 extended stays were fantastic. The pleasant amenities haven't changed, but the attitude of Team Shubie management and staff was the significant draw. In the challenge of pre-season bookings, Kristi (General Manager) provided the ultimate in flexibility within the government's limitations on campground openings. Adam (Camp Manager) and Arielle (Office Administrator) - (please forgive any error in spelling) managed the daily maintenance team with an excellent schedule of attention and maintenance. Upon move out, sites were checked for garbage, lawn mowed and fire pit cleaned. They were helpful in many non-standard regards and participated in the general campground life with friendly personal interactions with all of the campers throughout the season. We don't 'do' seasonal - but if we were to do so, Shubie will be first on our list.…

We phoned Shubie Campground a day ahead of time to see if we could camp in a tent in there park for the weekend we made it clear we were tenting . We are retired and still like to camp in our tent once in a while , even though we do own an RV. We are a 3 hour drive away so we wanted to make sure everything was ok. We were told there was no problem. When we arrived we were told all the tent sites were closed and we Had to have an RV site and pay the full RV rate. That wouldn't have been so bad but we were also informed that the bathrooms were closed . We were told none of this the previous day. Consequently we stayed only one rather expensive night and cane home early . Stubbies is overpriced for the services you receive but we do go there because we like the park , but this was in our opinion extremely poor service. And definitely spoiled our weekend plans. Our weekend camping trip turned into one expensive night with no bathroom facilities…

Was blown away by the exceptional service of staff at Shubie Campground! They really went above and beyond to accommodate our group. The site itself was clean and quiet and is very conveniently located - it's right next to beautiful walking trails while also being minutes away from the city amenities.

I love camping here. The campground is clean, facilities are clean. Sites are nice. Great place for kids and families with the beach right there, Shubie park or walks, biking, sightseeing, canoeing. Playground for children. It's not far from town if there's anything you need or want to do off site. Staff are lovely.

We booked for the weekend but we were unable to stay the whole weekend due to the Hurricane in Sept. 2019. We were a bit dissapointed that you weren't allowed to have a fire past a certain time, which we found to be a bit early. But overall clean amenities and nice campsites. Good location close to downtown Halifax.

Thank you for your note Claire - I'm glad you found our facility clean and quiet and close to the city - as for the 11:00 pm cut off time for campfires, we are a family-friendly campground located in a municipal park hence our quiet time at 11:00. I hope you were able to enjoy your fire until and that we can host you again soon.
