Campbellford Ontario

East Wall has 50A shore power. There is room for about 9 boats on that side, depending upon their size.
West Wall has 30A shore power. There is room for +/- 14 boats on this side.
Nice cleats, aka bits, or bollards!

There is just enough southbound current (+/- 1 mph) here that you will have to take it into consideration for your dock landing. A light wind out of the north was also present when we arrived Tuesday.

Downtown is nearby!
John aboard North Wind. A wall like this one is a great place to meet other boaters at the end of the day!
Jeff & Trish aboard Oyster.

This crew also chronicles their travels on a blog:

I highly recommend their blog. As we are hoping to transit Lake Champlain next month, I have begun digesting all their well-done ‘pics and prose’ of their time there.

Shelly and I will also check out their Youtube content once we have good Internet again. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCbGHynrW0bZqy9xdxhexQIA

Jim & Diane aboard Longer Hours.
Joy & Jeff of Empty Nest show us one of the famous welcome signs used here to mark your place on the wall.
They do not leave these signs up for long. So, if you want a pic of yours, take the shot soon after you are secured to your spot.
This town is officially coined as “the home of the $2 Canadian coin.” aka “Twomie”. This monument celebrates that honor. Shellerina is in the background on the east wall with our other newly made friends and dock mates all transiting the Trent-Severn.
Both sides of the Twomie, Canada’s $2 coin, are shown above next to a US quarter for size comparison.

Check out this amazing pic of the giant coin near sunrise! ((I *think* this pic is by Pat or Teresa Clements of Rock N Roll ))

These $2 coins are very much in use every day here in Canada. They are very frequently given out as change when we pay with cash. Reportedly, King Charles is not yet showing up very often on coinage.

The Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce does a great job of managing the many available spaces on both sides of the canal.

Cindy & Karen

They are friendly and competent: Karen and Cindy in the office, plus a number of dock hands “workin’ the walls” all make it a team.

A “Welcome Shellerina” sign was hanging on the railing in our assigned space when we arrived.
