When I was planning our route way back last winter I tried to book us into Five Islands Provincial Park on our way to Newfoundland. But we needed a place in early June and the park didn’t open until June 15th. So we went to Glooscap Campground near Parrsboro instead. Still, the park sounded nice and when I realized we’d be circling back this way on our way out of Nova Scotia I booked us for five nights here. Yesterday we drove 162 miles to get the 71 miles from the red pin at Valleyview Provincial Park around the end of the Bay of Fundy to our campsite here, at the blue dot, at Five Islands Provincial Park.
I’m so glad we came! This is the view out our dinette window. We look across the top of the other serviced campsites, across an inlet of the the Bay of Fundy (all sand in this picture at low tide) to the shore beyond.
Not only that, we have a huge site and total privacy.
The blocking job we had to do to get the trailer level was totally worth it! (Those are rags between our boards and our yellow leveling blocks to keep the blocks from slipping as Bud pulled the trailer up on them; it worked.)
Matey and I took a short walk on a nice trail that curves from just above our campsite down along the cliff to the beach access parking lot.
It afforded some great views, too.
I think that’s one or two of the five islands. The fencing is because all these cliffs are eroding, so the edges are unstable. Again, it’s close to low tide, here.
I took a picture this morning about an hour before high tide; what was once a huge beach is now mostly water.
Then Bud and I took Matey and the stroller up Red Head Trail.
The trail got narrow and rough; going downhill I could manage, but going up Bud fastened a leash to the front to give me an assist. It worked well. I don’t have pictures of the rough stuff because I couldn’t spare a hand, but to look at it you’d never think a stroller would make it, but it wasn’t a problem.
We made it back to a couple of nice viewpoints.
This is where we turned back.
The telephoto lens gives you a better sense of the place.
Most of the time we could only glimpse the bay through the trees.
Matey had a nice walk in the shady parts going downhill on the way back. It’s a dog’s life, right?
There are beautiful views all around, but none better than right here at our campsite.
What a fine place to watch five sunsets!
On the Roam Again 
There really are some beautiful views, and what a gorgeous sunset! Glad you got there! Looks like you could walk right across the bay area at low tide.
