The newly renovated pool and deck at Birchwood Campground

Pictou, Nova Scotia · Where friends meet

Welcome to Birchwood Campground & Cottages

Our family operated park is the perfect place to relax and enjoy time with your family in the great outdoors — just minutes from the Prince Edward Island ferry and the historic town of Pictou.

2015 TIANS Pineapple Award recipient for outstanding Nova Scotia hospitality

A clean, friendly, family park

Birchwood Campground & Cottages excels in providing friendly service on a clean, well-groomed property for your family's enjoyment. Enjoy a stay in our newly renovated, modern cottages with all amenities, or pick a campsite — full service, two-way serviced or a quiet unserviced tent site under the trees.

Plan to explore Pictou County's beaches, museums and historic sites, take in a summer festival, or day-trip to Halifax, Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail — or hop the ferry across the Northumberland Strait to Prince Edward Island.
