Accommodation

Harvey’s Return Camp­ground is a his­toric land­mark that once served as a sup­ply land­ing site for the Cape Bor­da Light­sta­tion. Embark on the Harvey’s Return Hike to explore the cove where light­keep­ers once hauled up stores using a horse-drawn winch and small rail cars. Geol­o­gy enthu­si­asts will be cap­ti­vat­ed by the strik­ing out­crops of tight­ly fold­ed, thin­ly bed­ded schists. For a deep­er dive into his­to­ry, fol­low the old cart track of the light­keep­ers along the Return Road Hike to the Cape Bor­da Light­sta­tion, with a side detour to admire the stun­ning coast­line at Scott Cove. Vis­it the near­by his­toric Lightkeeper’s Ceme­tery, or take a short dri­ve to expe­ri­ence the Ravine Hike.
