Was just there last July, as a matter of fact we spent July 4 in Eastport and enjoyed the great 4th of July celebration in Eastport, the next day we enjoyed Hurricane Arthur for about 24 hours. After that great time we traveled to PEI and NS, if I had too do it again I would skip PEI and stay in NS longer. One other thought, if we go again we will leave the MH in Maine and go over to NS in the car, diesel is very expensive and most roads are narrow and rough, especially the roads in the highlands. We stayed about 10 days and moved three times Highlands, outside Halifax and then over to Fundy Bay. We stayed in the state campgrounds in the Highlands, stay in Cheticamp especially if you take the MH, go up the west side and drive over to the east side. PEI was OK except for the bugs, if the wind was not blowing we stayed inside, we parked on the southern coast with lots of trees.
Don't miss the south below Halifax (Lunenburg, Peggy's Cove) and down that eastern coast, if you like history. Fishing history on the east and early settlers on the west, if we do go back I think we would go over to Newfoundland. If you drive the MH go over to PEI first, drive across the bridge and take the ferry over from the south to NS, you only pay when you leave and it cost the same bridge or ferry.
Last year diesel was about 4.50 to 5$ US. , no problem except up in the Highlands, fill up before you go up and you will have enough to make the trip, there are some places there that have diesel but really expensive. The road going up to Ingonish is terrible and very crooked and narrow. Both roads go out of Baddeck, a little over 50 miles to Cheticamp and 65 miles to Ingonish,
