We arrived with our trailer which is self contained late in the season and Manuel's place welcomed us with friendly hospitality . We stayed one night and the weather was rainy so we did not have a chance to hike the property but the welcome was warm and friendly.

This site can accommodate all RV’s including motor homes. Drive directly to the site and enjoy your very own private vacation spot 🌸

A truly hidden gem! We were received well and the warmth from Paul and Sue was perfect for our couple's roadtrip. We will definitely return there if we ever go back to New-Brunswick. The view was stunning in the evening and in the morning. Only the sound of nature can be enjoy to make you relax after a long day of driving. A must stay if you are in the area!

Perfect forest getaway! The cabin was beautiful and had everything you could possibly need. The spa was super relaxing and brought you closer to nature. The site was close to many spots to visit in NB.

Our campsites come with trees, bushes around each site.

We had a wonderful time tenting here! The owners are very friendly and easy going. The property is gorgeous and my twins had a blast playing in the brook all day. It was our first time tenting as a family and I can confidently say we couldn’t have picked a better spot! If you’re thinking about booking, you won’t be disappointed! 10/10 would recommend and hope to come back again sometime in the near future! Thanks so much Paul and Sue!

NS provincial park fire ban. Way to ruin camping… off grid ftw. Great, amazingly nice hardworking people, both Mike and Salma. Chantal the horse trainer is amazing with kids and even taught me not to pick at how well a chore is done, rather that it is done at all. Kids loved the cave, and rock climbing. I’d have to say the zip line was both of their highlight at the park. 🥳

If you love true camping, disconnecting and connecting with nature and/or if you are interested in homesteading this is the place for you! We loved our spot, which was very private, the place is absolutely beautiful with lots of trails and the owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable. And the best part all the animals! We will definitely be back, thanks for letting us in on a glimpse of your homestead and letting us pick your brains!

Site one is great with excellent tree coverage and trails through the woods and the field to walk/run through. Hosts were super sweet and nice :) the water is quite far away (about an hr walk) and you can hear cars from the road at camp site 1 but the beautiful camp area makes up for that 100% brought a dog and three young kiddos and they loved it!! Also so many fireflies it was beautiful!

Just fantastic. The host was great, it was a really nice camp site. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a camping spot near Moncton.

Not much has changed here since the 1800's. Feel the homesteading experience.
