About
On the shore of the Northumberland Strait, Amherst Shore Provincial Park offers an attractive mixed woodland setting for camping. Walking on trails, swimming or beachcombing are enjoyable activities at the park. This park, like others along this coast, offers some of the warmest saltwater swimming north of the Carolinas. The park offers a 56-site campground (44 wooded; 5 partially wooded; 7 open), comfort station (showers and flush toilets), dishwashing station, group shelter, playground, hiking trails, and a walking trail leading to an unsupervised beach area. Serviced and Unserviced sites are offered. Water taps and vault toilets are conveniently located throughout the campground. Located on Route 366, the Sunrise Trail, 37 km (23 mi.) east of Amherst and 27 km (17 mi.) west of Pugwash.

Is Amherst Shore Provincial Park fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
CampHawk watches Amherst Shore Provincial Park in NS for you. We recheck it every 15 seconds, around the clock, and the moment a site opens we send a text, an email and a push notification, with a link straight to the booking page.
Searching is free and needs no account — the calendar above is live right now. Watching Amherst Shore Provincial Park for cancellations is the paid part.
