Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site

Starting today, you can once again discover Kejimkujik and other Parks Canada-administered places through the Canada Strong Pass initiative!

✅ FREE admission to all Parks Canada-administered places, no pass needed
✅ 25% discount on camping and roofed accommodations
📅 From June 19 to September 7, 2026 (inclusive)

We can't wait to see you at Kejimkujik this summer! ☀️

The Canada Strong Pass returns tomorrow! ☀️ While entry is free for all until September 7, you must still check in with a Parks Canada staff member at the front gate.

We still collect visitor postal codes, which help us to understand—both locally and nationally—who visits us and to plan our annual operations.

Hope you enjoy your visit! ☺️

📣 Great news: We have campsites available for the weekend! Right now, we have spots in Meadow, Slapfoot, and Jim Charles Loops, as well as a number of oTENTik units.
