Make our hobby farm your home base while you experience everything the beautiful Annapolis Valley has to offer! Our farm is nestled between two brooks and sheltered by the North Mountain, just outside the quaint village of Lawrencetown. Say hello to our friendly horses and sheep! Conveniently located 30 minutes east of Annapolis Royal, and an easy hour's drive west from Wolfville, with many lovely towns to stop in on your drive through the valley. You can be at the Bay of Fundy within 15 minutes. We are a 4 minute drive to the Annapolis Valley Exhibition grounds. With so many beaches, wineries, orchards, restaurants, trails and waterways nearby - you won't run out of things to do! Enjoy your morning coffee while the sun rises over the North Mountain, and if you're lucky, a sighting of the deer that frequent the property. After a busy day spent exploring the valley, enjoy gazing up at the milky way (stargazing is incredible here with some of the darkest skies in North America) next to a crackling campfire. Fall asleep to the sounds of our brooks' gentle burbling, and coyotes howling in the distance. The campsite has it's own firepit and picnic table . There is a shared portable toilet with solar lights for night-time access. Walk across our babbling brook to enjoy a rustic, hot shower in the woods.

Absolutely beautiful! What view! It's an off grid camping spot in the most beautiful area. There is an outhouse that was clean. Dan was quick to respond to any questions I had and check in to make sure I was okay or needed anything. That view though is everything. I would wake up looking out at that view everyday if I could. Also had 5g out there which was nice to still be connected. I will definitely be staying here again.

This property is 100% worth going out of your way for! We spent two nights, and unfortunately there was a fire ban and cloudy sky’s that obstructed star gazing, but even then waking up to the view from campsite 1 is spectacular. I didn’t see campsite 3, but 1 and 2 are both amazing- was able to get level with blocks in 24 ft. rig. The place is well marked on the road and it looks like the driveway has been recently graded- easy in our vehicle. Dan was very responsive. Would absolutely return, and if it were campfire weather- I’d spend multiple days relaxing there for sure! There is a road down to the water and rocky beach where you can watch the amazing tides roll out. If you’re on an open journey- worth spending some time in this spot and area.

Just wow!!! The hosts are beyond awesome. They have worked very hard to create a unique and awesome space to camp/ relax and they have certainly achieved it. The setting is pure magic and they couldnt be more welcoming, everything you need is there for easy and fun camping. With incredible swimming, mountain biking, hiking, and Bay of Fundy near by its a wonder this place isn't reserved months out in advance. Do your self a favor and go visit this beautiful campsite in a pristine valley. We stumbled across it on our way home from a trip up north, now we have a new favorite spot, we will for sure be back. It truly is about as good as it gets for camping!!

1 night at Cedar Camp Ridge

My husband and I were looking for a secluded campsite that was easily accessible. we figured we would give this a try even though it was a little farther of a drive than we would have liked. It did not disapoint, only regret we had was not going longer. It had way more than expected there with so many little heart felt thing to make this place magical. Only issue I had as a mom of 5 kids is not being able to be reached during an emergency due to no cell service. We drove to poley that evening to check in however I would have been more at ease with cell service for emergencies. It was however very nice not having access to our cell phones and this allowed us to really connect with each other with no distractions.

This was exactly what we were searching for. Secluded, woodsy, lots of trails to explore (and get lost in). A cute river to dip into. Hosts are so kind.
