Tuesday, August 28, 2018 (Travel to Woodhaven RV Park, Halifax, Nova Scotia)

We pulled out of South Kouchibouguac Campground shortly after 10:00 and made our way back to highway 11 south....
Cocagne River...




Nova Scotia!
We pulled into the Nova Scotia Visitors Centre...
A good spot for a rest and lunch break....

Toll highway...can't remember how much we paid....

At Truro, NS, we leave the TransCanada highway and take highway 102 towards Halifax. We go past Minas Basin, off of the Bay of Fundy where Bore Tides occur. We plan on exploring Moncton and the Bay of Fundy after we've toured Nova Scotia and PEI...
The rivers in this area are reddish/brown in colour and are tidal from the huge tides in the Bay of Fundy...
Beautiful, lush scenery....


We followed Serena's directions, and she had no problem finding Woodland RV Park, our destination in Hammond Plains, a suburb of Halifax...






...a long dusty gravel driveway in...

We checked in and were given directions to site #14, a full hook-up  site with 30 amp power. It was hot and humid and the last thing Steve needed was to have trouble levelling side-to-side. One side of our site had deep loose gravel and the plastic ramps we use to level, with wood now added for additional height, kept sliding across the gravel...that wasn't going to work. So he brought out the shovel to try digging into the ground on the other side...which, of course, was rock solid. After a few choice words, we finally got levelled off, unhitched and the power going to get the fridge and A/C running. Looking around it seemed most sites were very un-level...what's wrong with some of these campground owners!

Of all the RV sites we've been in lately, this is probably the worst....the sites are very close together but luckily we didn't have any neighbours on our door side. Itt will serve our purpose, though, while we spend the week sightseeing around the area!

  1. I hate it when the campsites are so unlevel! But as you are staying a week you put in more effort. :)

    1. It's rare to find a campground with totally level sites but most are not as bad as this one!

  2. Halifax is such a neat place. We stayed in the KOA and it was a tight fit, as well. The Tidal Bore is an amazing sight to see. We happened to meet Sherman Williams, the man who makes the tidal chart, at one of the places. That was special. We followed home to catch the tidal bore as it moved. Interesting! Enjoy the city!

  3. Those are times I really appreciate our Bigfoot levellers. Even Lake Louise was sloped badly but you can select one side or a single jack, auto level stopped working a long time ago and no fix. Bay of Fundy really changes height and is spectacular! I worked with a few eastern boys so just their words and youtube.
