Jeremy’s Bay Campground – Kejimkujik National Park – review

September 17, 2018 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I don’t imagine “national park nova scotia interior” is a common phrase entered into online search engines.  The knowledge that you would receive an accurate hit is likely even less common, save for those actually living in Nova Scotia.  Let’s face it, inland recreation is not the first thing, or tenth, that comes to mind […]
