Everyone should have regular opportunities to experience the wild.

That’s why it’s our mission to provide unforgettable outdoor experiences with untethered access to the Wild Islands.

The Murphys welcome you to come and enjoy our hospitality and all that Mother Nature has to offer at one of the most scenic & interactive campgrounds in Nova Scotia. We offer many ways to experience the ocean and the 100 Wild Islands.

We offer both RV sites and Tent sites, as well as some Rental Trailers and Units, each having a unique set of characteristics. Whether you enjoy a site just meters from the Atlantic Ocean, or something a little more secluded, you will surely find a site that suits your preferences.

• This is a wonderful small camping by the ocean. Owners are very friendly. Boat tour is a must as the views are just magnificent.’

• Beautiful scenery, good facilities.  The place has personality, and the owners more so

• We have visited Murphy’s before not being campers to go on their amazing boat tour, now we own an Rv and love going there can’t believe it’s in our own backyard as we are from Halifax area!!!

• Great community atmosphere

• Best camping trip we ever took! There were about 8 of us couples and we explored, caught our own fish and cooked it over an open fire and passed it around and shared it, played badminton, frisbee, had late night fires with guitars, roughed it in our tents and loved every minute of it!!!

• 5 STARS just isn’t enough. I honestly didn’t want to leave. from the 7 a.m. coffee and morning chats in the sailors rest, to the nightly campfire, it’s just a piece of heaven on earth. The boat tour is great, and you get to steer the boat. 5 plus stars all round….

• Wonderful site on a quiet little bay. Beautiful views, sites organized to give privacy, not tight rows like most campgrounds. Owners have a campfire down near the water, nightly, for all to enjoy. Coffee & conversation in the morning if you want in Murphy’s “Museum”

• This is a great, well managed campground. I go there a couple times a summer and always have a great time.

• Amazing experience! Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable. Already planning when we can come back.

• This was a great spot to camp with very unique sites. Each one different. Everything was clean and I felt at home on the grounds. See you again next year I hope.

• Great location and wonderful people. Love the mussel boil at the campfire near the marina, compliments of the hosts. Views are amazing.

• Possibly Nova Scotia’s best kept secret! What a beautiful family owned and operated getaway. Free Wi-Fi, morning coffee, and a communal campfire!

• OMG, this place is awesome, the Murphy’s are great people, met lots of people from all around, USA, Canada, and Germany. Can’t wait to come back next year.
