Backcountry Camping in Kejimkujik
Keji’s backcountry, in our opinion, is where the magic begins. There are over 40 backcountry sites in the Park which are accessible only by paddling or hiking or cycling. Each backcountry site is marked with a large reflective sign and has tent pads, a picnic table, a firepit, a stack of dry firewood and a pit-toilet (aka outhouse). Each site also has a ‘bear-hang’ where you can easily attach your food-bag or barrel and raise it up a cable via a pulley system to keep it out of reach from bears, raccoons, rodents and most other wildlife.
Kejimkujik Canoe Routes
Kejimkujik Lake has a variety of campsites, some of which are located on islands adding to the magic and solitude of a wilderness canoe trip. Convenient access to the lake is right here at Jake’s Landing. We have a huge parking lot where you can leave your vehicle for as many nights as you need for free (the parking lots are secure and we've never had any trouble). There are two other parking lots within the park which provide different access points to canoe routes– Big Dam and Eel Weir; each with free, large parking lots.
