The best mountainous camping in Bay of Fundy

·

The Bay of Fundy is a unique natural wonder in eastern Canada. Bordered by the provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, it’s famous for having the highest tides in the world. The difference between high and low tide can be as much as 40 feet. The area offers spectacular hiking through forests, coastal trails, and even on the ocean floor during low tide (you’ll want to pay close attention to tidal times, though!) Animal lovers will appreciate the chance to see whales, seals, and migratory birds, and the Bay of Fundy is also an excellent fishing region, making it a prime spot for any camping adventure.

Andromeda House sits on 30 beautiful acres, stretching from our waterfront to the top of the Mountain. Perched dramatically above the Annapolis Basin, the views here are truly awe-inspiring—and only get more breathtaking as one explores higher up on the property. Our path network is maintained for access to the very satisfying “Upper Lookout”. This path continues and you might just find your hosts working on this area. There are also various mountain access roads provide terrific hiking and mountain biking opportunities. Photography, rock hounding, mushroom hunting and star gazing are ideal activities. Birders in particular should be pleased. The property has been in our family for generations and an old sled path winds through and up it. We are also developing a spring-fed swimming pond this summer. Currently, we have new fields of sunflowers and wildflowers to attract pollinators—bumble bees, hummingbirds and monarch butterflies are especially abundant here. Wild apple trees abound and there is a stand of old maple trees we will be tapping next spring. Beyond that is a mature Beech and Poplar forest. We are within walking distance to Victoria Beach, an authentic fishing village nestled at the base of the north mountain and surrounded by the Annapolis Basin, the Digby Gut and the Bay of Fundy. Did we mention the views?

The best mountainous camping in Bay of Fundy guide

Where to go

Saint John, New Brunswick

Those arriving via ferry will land in the seaside city of Saint John. Once known as a somewhat gritty, industrial-focused destination, Saint John is fun, vibrant, and filled with travel attractions. A must-visit spot is the Saint John City Market, Canada’s oldest continuing farmers’ market and an ideal location to pick up local delicacies, including smoked fish, blueberries, and maple syrup.

Fundy National Park, New Brunswick

A superb destination for camping, hiking (there are more than 30 trails), golf, cycling, swimming, kayaking, and birdwatching, Fundy National Park is an excellent spot to view the region’s famous tides. When the tides are low, you can see the area’s well-known “flowerpots.” These rusty red stone sea stacks owe their distinctive appearance to the forces of erosion.

Wolfville, Nova Scotia

Wolfville is the gateway to Nova Scotia’s famed wine industry. As part of the Annapolis Valley, Wolfville is a prime growing area and you’ll find ample farmers’ markets, gardens, and—of course—wine. Key names include Benjamin Bridge, Luckett Vineyard, and Domaine de Grand Pré.

Digby, Nova Scotia

This seaside fishing town is where you’ll go to catch the ferry to New Brunswick, but you’ll want to hang around for a few days. The community likes to boast that it has the most delicious sea scallops in the world and seafood restaurants abound. There’s a vibrant arts scene here as well. Renowned Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis lived by Digby for decades and visitors can check out the memorial to her tiny home where she painted thousands of pieces of art.
