Peterson’s Festival Campground is a gorgeous twenty acre site in Kempt Shore, Hants Co. Nova Scotia with 800 feet of sandy beach frontage on the beautiful Minas Basin at the mouth of the Avon River. This is the site of the Acoustic Maritime Music Festival, held the third full weekend of July when we present a variety of world class music to fans. Everything from blues, folk, country and jazz to Texas swing, all done through microphones as much as possible and not electronically augmented, allowing the artists to show their special talents. We Also host the very now famous Annual Kempt Shore Bluegrass and Country/Folk Music Festival which is always held the third weekend of August, featuring the best bluegrass, country and folk we have in the Maritimes.

The campground has serviced (water/electric) sites and hundreds of un-serviced sites, free hot showers and flush toilets. We welcome large group campouts, tours, clubs, reunions etc. The views and sunsets are gorgeous, there is a health clinic across the street, a quarry lake, a perfect place for a swim two minutes away. Surf fishing for striped bass is done from the beach. The campground offers back to nature type of experience. We are open for camping June 1 to Oct, 15. Come and enjoy.
