Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour tonight. You’ve earned a little extra zzzzzzzzz time under the covers! We know our hardworking campground owners sure deserve it. They have spent the past season checking guests in, hauling garbage out, mowing grass, cleaning washrooms, unclogging toilets, delivering firewood, settling “neighbourly disagreements,” fixing things that worked perfectly yesterday… So, put that extra hour to good use. Now, if someone could explain what all means to the dog…

We know that the best stories are told around a campfire. Even for ghouls and goblins! Wishing our campers and members plenty of treats and a few good laughs. Happy Halloween from all of us at the Campground Owners Association of Nova Scotia! #HappyHalloween #CampingNovaScotia
