Background:
The MCFC offers a license area that can be used to test ecotourism revenue streams on Crown land in Nova Scotia. The proposed campground development can accommodate overflow from Kejimkujik National Park and Historic Site, and provide accessible camping to families who may not be able to afford the additional costs of camping in a National Park. The MCFC is located in a region that is well suited to recreation, sharing property boundaries with the Tobeatic Wilderness Area, the Medway Lakes Wilderness Area (MLWA) and Kejimkujik. We are in a position to offer services that may not be permitted in protected areas and facilitate access for these neighbouring lands.
The MCFC is seeking to procure a detailed construction plan for the development of a 10-site campground nearby Highway 8, in the Stave Lake region of the MCFC license area. The campground will aim to deliver a backcountry camping experience with front country access. The business will run entirely on a web-based platform and self-serve basis, from reservations to obtaining firewood, however will have staff onsite on a regular basis. The MCFC signed a Letter of Authority with the Department of Lands and Forestry in 2020 and we hope to begin construction in summer 2021.
