Such a great camping area. You need to exit the trans Canada highway at the Malady head camping sign and reach to registration kiosk in the entrance to get the key and pay the entrance fee which was almost $13 for our family of two assaults and one child. We stayed in oTENtik number 094 which was the one close to the bathrooms. The bathrooms are perfectly clean with lots of hot water showers. There was a fire place out side the oTENtik and a BBQ with a propane tank ready to use. They provided some woods for the fire as well. There was a tab for water (not sure if potable or not as we had plenty) right next to our tent. Two sinks were available to wash the dishes in front of the bathroom building just bring your own soap. Electricity wasn’t available in Malady head oTENtiks but there were some led lamps inside the tent. Also, there was a heater inside the tent. It was a lovely experience for us staying there and there are lots of good hikes and beaches around to explore and enjoy while camping. I definitely try to book for next camping plan.

Okay campground but the limited quiet hours mean it’s very noisy until late into the night (quiet time starts at midnight!). Bathrooms have massive flood lights outside that stay on all night long, negating the Dark Sky Preserve aspect of this park.

Some of the best tent camping on the island that we’ve experienced. Only downside was our site was small for our six-person tent. Potable water located throughout the campground, and clean convenience stations (with ample hot water). Can’t purchase firewood at the campground, so stop and pick up before arriving. We loved the generator-free loop. Overall, campground was quiet.

Great campsite for kids. A family campground that is a little crowded than Newman Sound. Ten and small camper sites. If you have anything too large you won't get much out of the site.
