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.
