It sounds like you intend to tour the Maritimes from one base campground. While we might look small on a map the distances can be considerable. As an example its at least 5 hours from Halifax to Sidney Cape Breton.

There are a lot of great things to see and a lot of great campgrounds.
Got some extra time and extra cash? Why not visit Newfoundland? Ferry is EXPENSIVE but sooooo worth it.
