Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site — Attraction in Kejimkujik National Park of Canada

We stayed in the yurt with two adults and two children. It was a great experience, was roomy, and loved the secluded privacy. The road to get in needs the large holes filled because our minivan kept bottoming out (we got to know which ones were worse, so could ride the edge of the narrow roadway). The outhouse was very clean and a short walk away, potable water supply was closer and easily accessible, flushing toilets, sinks, and electricity was nearby at Whynot's Adventure Outfitters. Unfortunately it rained our first whole day and the morning of the next but once it cleared up, it was lovely. Bugs at the end of July weren't too bad, though we kept ourselves dosed in bug spray. Mattresses on both the bunks and three larger bed, like the oTENTiks have would have made it much better. The futon was decent but felt icky knowing there was no way for it to be adequately cleaned between visitors (so glad we brought our own queen sized waterproof mattress cover!).

We signed up and paid for the night skies walk and as it was raining, we were told we would be called if it was too be cancelled. No call came, we checked but there were no voicemail messages (in case service dropped), and the rain had stopped, so at 945pm we stepped out and could see the stats, so assumed it must be a go. We drove for 15-20 mins to get to the other campground in the darkness, only to eventually find a small sign buried in a parking, in a spot only visible by foot, that said it was cancelled. So we drove the 15-20 mins back to the yurt. Disappointed and frustrated would be good descriptors of this particular experience. Unfortunately, it was not offered the only other night we would have been able to attend.

We attended a couple other educational gatherings about Kejimkujik and the L'nu people that first inhabited the land. The guides were easy to understand, spoke clearly, and seemed to have a passion and connection to the land and people. It was a very valuable experience. Thank you!

We rented a canoe, standup paddleboard, dry bag, and an inflatable mattress pad from Whynot's Adventure Outfitters. Prices seemed good and the service providers were friendly and knowledgeable. It was a perfect day to be out on the water; calm, serene, warm, sunny, and no annoying bugs. Definitely a memorable and worthwhile experience for our whole family.

We will...

One of the greatest parks. This park has lots to offer. The trails are incredible, the campground is large, and the things to do here is endless. We always have a great time. The waterfalls at Mill Falls and breath-taking.

We spent a lot of time on our bikes doing the trails, which were all lovely, although some can be narrow at times. You can also rent canoes and take to the lakes. We did quite a bit of geocaching while we were there and the caches were all in great shape.

We usually tent here, and this time we stayed in Slapfoot Loop, site 213. It was great, flat, and perfect for setting up tents. Camp site had a lot of people in it this weekend but it was still very quiet, which we loved.

Previously, we have stayed before in the 198-210 range and all of those sites are terrible. Avoid those like the plague. They are all on a sloping hill, so if you are in a tent, you are constantly sliding down. And it's not just a gentle slope either, it's at least ten degrees or more. They aren't even sites really, and I can't believe they actually charge money for them. Make sure you read the specific site description online before you confirm your booking. If the slope says moderate or high, don't book it. You will regret it.

Also, I was appalled that they charge $7.50 for a bundle of wet wood. We regretted buying it in the park. Despite what they tell you, definitely try to buy your wood from local residents. Most of them charge $4.00 per bundle and their wood is dry.

(Note: As of 2018, the park is claiming they no longer allow wood to be brought in, even from local businesses, which I think is a crime. They should be pushed to provide better wood, AND to still allow at least the local businesses to sell it. I have heard that the local businesses get their wood from the same places as the park, so there is no...

This is a gorgeous Park for the people with many special events going on like this guy Circle the amphitheater etc. They do not advertise very much you have to search it out or look on the tiny calendar when you're entering the park they do not pass out any information which is sad take a picture I guess in our digital world. But Wi-Fi sucks FYI don't count on it there's certain hot spots. The biggest complaint is trying to get a site is very awkward. I was there two weeks and saw half the campsite empty even though we were told all campsites were fully booked. It also shows fully booked online yet the reality is they were many many empty sites for days on end. They need to fix this issue you can't talk to anybody it's always someone else's issue they are not doing the booking they hired somebody in another province detached from reality. I was told by an Insider that it takes 3 days for it to show up as canceled leaving many people frustrated with no sites when they are actually available and empty. Hopefully they will iron this problem out before next season as I know many people missed out on a wonderful opportunity to enjoy our national Park. This is a gorgeous Park great place for families to unwind and get out in nature and get off the phones and technology. Watching the stars at night with all the families around was a wonderful experience. The bike trails...
