Graves Island Provincial Park Review

This 50-hectare (124-acre) estatelike park is one of the province's more elegant-looking campgrounds, as befits moneyed Chester. The park has expanded to 80-odd sites, many of them dotting a high grassy bluff with outstanding views out to the spruce-clad islands of Mahone Bay; camping is available from mid-May through to the end of the first week of September. There's also a boat launch, swimming area, and playground for the kids.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
