Metepenagiag Heritage Park

We stayed in a tipi - such a unique and upscale glamping experience, it's worth the money! The tipi was spacious, clean, and comfy and included firewood, a fan, mini fridge, and heated mattress covers. Even though we visited on a hot day, the temperature inside the tipi was just right. We were able to use the shower and bathroom facilities inside the Heritage Park. We felt super welcomed by the team and loved learning about the Mi'kmaq culture. The nearby Mother Earth Kitchen serves delicious gourmet food (the moose steak sandwich is a must!). With trails, river activities, and guided tours, it’s a perfect effortless weekend getaway.

We got the Ookdataan package and enjoyed a private tour of the exhibit, a great film, breadmaking, and a nice traditional meal of the bread with moose sausages and local tea. The people were so very friendly and welcoming, and were able to accommodate our local minute request to start a bit earlier. What a great way to learn the history of the land and its people. Great value, would recommend 👍.

Very informative and family friendly our guide was knowledgeable and engaging with our questions . I highly recommend this for families with children of all ages .

A beautiful summer vacation spot. We camped here twice over the summer in a tipi that fit our family of 4 (plus dog). Everyone was so accommodating. It was a lovely experience and a must if you enjoy camping. There are washrooms with a shower and toilets, as well as a fire pit and mini fridge inside tipi! It felt closer to “glamping”. I can’t wait to go back!

Just wow. From the moment we arrived, the service was unbelievable. A super warm welcome, with many people around to help The grounds are impeccable, quiet, serene and the amenities (shower/bathroom and even porta potties) are beyond reproach. We stayed in a tipi - which was super comfortable and contained everything we needed for our stay. We had one meal at on-site restaurant (Mel’s). The menu was not your typical camping menu / and the food was really, really tasty and super inexpensive. Definitely recommend saving one meal for this place. Highly suggest taking the guided tour. In additional to hearing some wonderful (and personal) history from our guide Liam, we watched a movie in a beautiful cinema and learned how to make bannock (traditional bread) in the sand. We ate delicious meat and drank refreshing tea. Actually, I can’t imagine coming here, enjoying the beautiful land - and not taking a few hours to listen and learn. Take the tour, you won’t regret it. Overall, my kids and I rated this part of our summer road trip a 5/5 in all areas. Nicholas, Liam , Tristan to name a few - you guys are wonderful. ❤️

Great tipi, very nice and spacious, however hard to sleep with a few birds squawking early in the morning. Patricia was very nice, and the tipi had lots of amenities such as a fridge, a heater, and a fan. There was also a great view of the stars at night

What a special experience!!! We stayed in a tipi (my grand mother, her friend, my 2 children and I) the staff was amazing, and it was by far one of the coolest experiences my kids have had! Doing it again next summer!

Very informative exhibition Nice, helpful & friendly staff. Stayed for one night in one of the three comfortable tipis. Everything is clean. I can highly recommend all of it. 😊
