Hello Jack,

Thank you for reaching out. I am glad to hear that you are coming to visit! 

The Province operates provincial campgrounds that are available for camping. There are also privately operated campgrounds. Government does not support or approve camping on crown land. 

There are lovely campgrounds not too far from the Cap-Egmont lighthouse at Camping Terre Rouge and Moonlight Camping.

There is also Cedar Dunes Campground just up on the next point, close to West Point Lighthouse. 

Have a wonderful vacation! 

Valerie

Asked: I will be visiting Souris in early July 2024. I would love to take in a traditional lobster boil ( if that’s the correct wording , with the potatoes and corn and sea food ). Is there a local area known for offering this?
