August
2011
- Never a cloud without a silver lining - more rain than
usual last year brought the water levels on Nine Mile
River well up, making it even better than ever for river
rafting fun. Visitors brought their inflatable rafts & boats and
experienced the cool refreshment of splish splashing summer
recreation just a few steps from their RVs or tents.
It's a great, super-natural way to beat the heat - mum &
dad, the kids will love it even more than you!

Traveling or just wanting to get the family out for the weekend or
vacation? Or maybe thinking of not driving anymore with your rig, and
parking it for the summer and just relaxing for a change? At Renfrew
Camping, we have a variety of sites to accommodate you and your
needs. For the travelers we have pull-through sites large
enough to handle 60 foot rigs. They have 30 amp power, and
they're level, too.
Want to camp where the action is? We have full service hook-ups designed for those with smaller trailers and camper trailers. 15 and 20 amp power and sewer connections lets you and your family camp in comfort. Every RV site has room for a fire pit and a tent for the children. It wouldn't be camping without them!
Thinking of slowing down and camping seasonal for a change? Check out our large variety of options, ranging from full service at 30 amps, to self-metered sites to just water and electricity. Pumping service is available for those who desire it. And you'll love our competitive rates!
Tired of camping cheek by jowl with strangers? At Renfrew Camping we
offer roomy tenting sites so you can enjoy your own family experience,
not the neighbours'. We also believe that tenting means just that, so you won't
have your view blocked by the converted school bus that just rolled in and
decided to park sideways in front of you. Our main tenting area is
serviced with water only, although we do have areas where electricity and
water are offered to both tenters and RVers. We have something for
just about everyone. We closed for 2009 at Thanksgiving, surrounded
by gorgeous autumn colours!
We
have a lot of fun at Renfrew Camping. The river is perfect for kids to
find out about minnows, frogs, and other freshwater small fry. The stars
of the river are the turtles, which always attract a crowd when they make an
appearance. If you're a fresh water person, there is a decent
swimming hole just a short
walk from the campground. Swim with the fishes!
As well, Santa Claus makes an annual summer appearance, for 'Christmas in July'. No child wants to miss Santa, no matter how hot it is!
Our hay wagon ride has been a staple for many years, and remains as popular as ever. Tom Leighton knew he had hit upon a sure crowd pleaser the very first time he ran one. Four generations of hayride passengers and counting!
Play horseshoes? Like a challenge? Weekends at Renfrew Camping is the place for you as there is always a tournament going on Saturday afternoons, and the regulars are always on the lookout for fresh chuckers. Come on and join in!
Or maybe bingo is your cup of tea. No problem, because you can always count on at one bingo game per weekend, sometimes two. If you feel lucky, it's a great way to top up the weekend.
Everyone likes to see Mother Nature in her glory when
they go camping. We at Renfrew Camping are blessed because we directly
border the largest unspoiled acreage in Hants County, a block of Crown
land measuring 1200 acres. It isn't uncommon to see deer in the
early morning, or later after dark. Canada's national symbol, the beaver
is alive and busy in the waters running through our campground. Muskrats
can be seen if you are quiet and eagles and hawks sometimes circle
the sky above. Songbirds (too many to name), turn the early misty
summer mornings into symphony halls, and kingfishers work the river for
their daily meals. And when the Canada geese begin their training
flights, everyone can't help but notice for the honking! Of course, the
animals of the forest, river and sky are wild, and don't parade themselves on
cue, but if you love nature and God's creatures, we have a jewel here and you
won't be disappointed. But here's a hint. Naturally, wild animals
shy away from crowds, and we usually have more campers on weekends, so if
nature is your reason to camp, try us during the week. It's very peaceful.

GPS Advisory: We recommend you follow our directions to our campsite rather than using your in-vehicle GPS system. Our directions are calculated to bring you as close as possible via a 100 Series Highway before turning onto secondary paved roads. Current GPS directions may route you onto a longer course, partly on dirt back-country roads.
