Park Policy

Cancellation Policy for our overnight guests as of June 2024:

Until a confirmation is made with the Ovens Staff, no reservations are completed and official. You can e-mail us at info@ovenspark.com or call at 902-766-4621 and someone will get back to you ASAP.

Cabins:

All guests who need to cancel will be able to receive a refund of the full amount less the value of one night’s stay and the administration fees if cancelled before the 7 days prior to your arrival date. Bookings within the 7 days prior to your arrival are considered final. If your travel plans are up in the air, we recommend that you book with us well in advance to take advantage of our seven day policy.

Camping:

All guests who need to cancel will be able to receive a refund of the full amount less the value of one night’s stay and the administration fees if cancelled before the 7 days prior to your arrival date.

If you are cancelling within 7 days of your arrival date, campers will receive a “rain check” which we will honor on dates that are more suitable for our patrons. We know how difficult it is to do everything on your vacation to-do list. The Ovens is always here when you want to make the trip.

Whilst all attempts will be made to provide campers with preferred sites, we can’t guarantee a specific site.

The Ovens Park Policy for all Patrons as of June 2024:

  • All campers, including walk-in campers, must have a valid Visa or Mastercard.

  • All reservations are subject to an $12 non-refundable admin fee (booked in advance).

  • Please be aware that we do not issue refunds for early departures, same day cancellations, discomforts of nature or campfire bans.

  • If there is a change in your reservation, please notify the office before you check in. No refunds are given after your stay with us has begun (administration fee applies).

  • Fire pits are on each site and are there for your enjoyment, please do not remove or build others on the site. Campfires cannot be left unattended and therefore should be put completely out before you go to bed for the night.

  • The park is eco-friendly, therefore, please do not burn garbage, food, cans or bottles. If we need to clean out your fire pit for these reasons you will be charged a cleanup fee.

  • Wood can be purchased from our main office. Due to Provincial law regulations the transfer of outside firewood is not permitted (https://novascotia.ca/natr/forestprotection/dont-move-firewood.asp ). The park abides by the Department of Natural Resources daily burn policies, therefore, no campfires from 8 am to 2 pm daily. The daily update is posted at the main office 2 pm daily (https://novascotia.ca/alerts/fire-bans/). Disobeying fire ban rules could result in a fine.

  • Please do not pick any flowers, plants, cut down any of our trees or burn any dead branches or leaves. The Ovens Park maintains a fragile eco-system, any unnecessary disturbance will not be tolerated.

  • Any vandalism to property or buildings will result in extra charges.

  • Quiet time is from 11 pm to 9 am, no fires should be burning after midnight. Please be respectful of your fellow campers.

  • Check in for tents/RV's is any time after 1 pm and preferably before 8 pm and for Cabins, is any time after 4 pm and preferably before 8 pm. If you expect to be later than 8 pm, please call and inform the office. If you are expecting to arrive early, please contact the office so that we may inform you about our early check-in fees. Check-out for all is by 11 am

  • If a site has been abandoned or if you have not shown up on the day of your reservation without notice and we cannot reach you, we reserve the right to release that site/cabin after 24 hours.

  • Alcohol and smoking of any kind (cannabis, cigarettes, e-cigarettes) should be limited to your sites only. No smoking in the cabins. No smoking or alcohol permitted on the trails, bathrooms, playground or pool areas. We do have “Butt" buckets placed around the parking lot, please use them.

  • Drones are not permitted anywhere in the park.

  • We love our 4-legged friends but we do have a 2 pet per site maximum policy with a $5.00 per night/per pet fee for camp sites, $30.00 for cabins. Pets must be leashed and picked up after, please do not leave your pets unattended.
