    Gateway Parkland CG is located just off Highway 2, the Trans-Canada Highway, as you enter Nova Scotia near Amherst. It's an older CG and not particularly a destination kind of place, but it suited our needs for a one-night stop-over on our way to Cape Breton.

    Just a few hundred yards from the highway exit is the campground entrance. This is your initial view of the campground.

    Lots of empty sites to choose from, all pretty much the same. We ended up on site C-6, in between a couple of pine trees. It had been quite wet lately, so the ground was pretty soggy in spots.

    Looking down the B-line of sites. All sites have W/E(30A) hookups and there are some with sewer connection as well. Although we said we didn't need the sewer hookup (which is $3.00 more) , the very friendly gal in the office put us on a full hookup site, and did not charge us the extra.

    The sites in the D and E lines are out in the total sun.

    The bath-house is bit dated, but we would rate it as adequate. It was clean and the showers were hot. There's a laundromat on the back side, but a rather tattered sign taped on the door said it was out of service.

    It doesn't look like this old Shasta Class C has been on the highway recently.
