General

• To protect the forest floor, keep all camping equipment and vehicles on gravel areas within the site. Do not park on the road; additional parking is available at P1 and P2.
• Each campsite is limited to 4 people (must include at least one adult) or 1 family unit (adult(s) and dependents) per campsite.
• Each campsite is limited to 1 trailer and 1 sleeping tent OR 2 sleeping tents.
• Exterior sinks are available at service buildings for dishwashing and grey water disposal. Please clean up after use.
• Use recycling, compost and waste containers at waste-sorting stations.
• Never feed wild animals. Doing so is illegal, can spread illness, may lead to aggressive behaviour and can cause wildlife to lose natural foraging and hunting abilities.
• To avoid attracting wildlife, store all unattended food or scented items (including coolers) in your vehicle.
  For your safety and the safety of wildlife in Kejimkujik, Parks Canada staff may seize unattended animal attractants.

Alcohol and smoking

• Alcohol, smoking and cannabis consumption are permitted only at your individual campsite. Public intoxication is not allowed.
• Other than on your campsite, smoking, vaping or consuming cannabis or tobacco is prohibited in Jeremy's Bay Campground, including Meadow, Kedge and Slapfoot Beaches.

Campground hours

• Check-in time is 2 pm for campsites and 3 pm for accommodations. Check-out time is 11 am.
• Quiet hours are from 11 pm to 7 am. Only campers registered to a site are to be at that site after 11 pm.
• Be considerate of your neighbours and always maintain appropriate noise levels, including outside of quiet hours.
• Generators may be used from 9 am to 11 am and from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

Campfires

• Only firewood purchased in Kejimkujik is permitted (exceptions include kiln-dried packaged firewood or compressed wood bricks).
• A firewood permit is required to burn or possess firewood. Permits are available at the Campground Kiosk when purchasing firewood or by presenting approved exceptions.
• Fires are permitted only in designated fire boxes.
• Never leave your fire unattended.
• Ensure your fire is completely extinguished before leaving your campsite or going to bed. Forest fires can start quickly.
• Burning conditions can change rapidly. Check signage at campground entrance or speak with Kejimkujik staff for up-to-date fire-restriction information.
• While propane fire pits resemble wood fires, they do not produce smoke and can be extinguished quickly. They are permitted during fire restrictions.
• Propane fire pits may be used only on a registered campsite.
• Collecting wood or deadfall from the forest is prohibited.

Pets

• Pets must always be on a leash and never be left unattended.
• Pets are not permitted on Meadow Beach, Slapfoot Beach or Kedge Beach. Pet owners are invited to use the designated pet-friendly section of Merrymakedge Beach.
• Pet food and waste attract wildlife. For everyone’s safety, clean up after your pets.

Safety – A shared responsibility

Did you know? Provincial Motor Vehicle legislation (Motor Vehicle Act) applies and is enforced in Kejimkujik.

• Riding without a seatbelt is illegal and unsafe, as is transporting or riding as a passenger in the bed of a truck.
• Speeding on any park road and failure to stop at the Entrance Kiosk pose serious safety hazard and is against the law.
• For your safety and the safety of others, obey speed limits and posted one-way signage.
• Cycling is permitted only on designated trails and roads. Helmets are required by law in Nova Scotia for all cyclists.
