Weekend Trip to La Belle Cabane
I LOVED my stay at cabin #3. Tasha and Cory’s attention to detail is absolutely astounding. It really felt like a labour of love.

Lovely spot. Solitude by the water. Host was nice and camping location was easy to access but felt private and removed.

Hipcamp campground Mouth of the Magaguadvic is amazing. There is not much to do, but there is a lot to see. The kind of place where you need to spend time just watching the world around you, ever changing. Tides, water, sunlight, moonlight, dusk, dawn, clouds, blue skies, gray skies, reflections, shadows, ripples, rocks, seaweed emerging, and receding. The water and sky is busy with various birds; Loons, eagles, crows, ravens, seagulls, cormorants, herons. The shrubs are full of song birds, old friends and those never heard before! Deep water follows the mud flats, islands come and go, walkways appear and disappear. The colors of approaching fall, red of the blueberry plants, last of the asters, goldenrod and yarrow blooming, a few oak trees fading from green, red maples along the edge of the cove. Spruce heavy with cones. Red soldiers moss and blueberry plants crunchy underfoot, along with prickly juniper low to the ground. Mountain ash full of red berries along the roadway to the ferry. Paul’s place is truly remarkable and he was a wonderful and informative host. Many thanks for sharing such a magical place.

Stunning site with friendly hosts. We loved our stay here, exploring the land and tides, enjoying the scenery, and learning about some local options from the hosts. Camped right on the water. Appreciate that our dog was welcome too.

Beautiful site with great views. Not a glamping campground and thats a good thing. Rustic with large remote sites and great friendly host. Would come back again if in the area.

It’s hard to write a review of Mouth of Magaguadavic without overusing superlatives, but I’ll give it a try. In ten years of wandering around the US and Canada in our truck camper, this site is in the top five most spectacular places that we have camped. Imagine camping at the tip of a small point extending into a bay with a 270+ degree view of the bay and its shores and islands. And twice a day the water in the bay rises and falls by over twenty feet! Highly recommended! Paul is a very accommodating and informative host, and his business partner Dave was also very helpful and amiable. If Paul recommends island hopping on ferries to get to the campground, I suggest taking his advice. We saw dolphins, a seal, and a whirlpool during our island hopping. My only regret during our stay was not paddling the tidal waters of the Magaguadavic River, but I hope to check that item off the list the next time we’re in NB.

We enjoyed our stay! The campground is near the Calias border crossing and makes a great stop on the way to PEI and Cape Breton. Paul was very responsive to messages and texts. David led us to our campsite where we had a whole field by the water to ourselves. I recommend you stop at McKays blueberries nearby to get a pie or muffins.

We loved this place! The views were amazing, the site so quiet, private and peaceful and Paul was a great host. I couldn’t believe all the useful information he sent before our stay. We even added a day to our vacation to fit in some of his suggestions. This is a must-do spot of you’re in the area.

This was an absolutely stunning camping spot!! So private feeling, an incredible view of the river/ bay. Paul was so helpful with recommendations for things to see on our way to and from his spot. Being able to charge our devices inside the house was also so handy for a longer camping trip. Wonderful host, wonderful property. Highly recommend.

What a special place the Mouth of Magaguadavic is! And what wonderful folks Paul and his business partner Dave are! We were warmly greeted by them and the dogs, Milo and Scooter. Paul led us to our site…a point overlooking the bay (the tide was out) just as the sun was setting. A sky of orange and blue and yellow. Spectacular! And this was just the start of a bunch of great days spent here. We canoed up the river to St. George on the incoming tide, saw eagles, ate lunch at the Fish Market, and cruised back home on the outgoing tide. We bicycled into town another day, visited the marsh and the fish ladder. We had a peaceful day reading books in the sun overlooking the water and walking out in the low tide. We paddle-boarded on the lagoon another day and even went digging in the mud for bloodworms with Dave one morning at low tide. Being late in the season, we practically had the place to ourselves, (over 100 acres), so we checked out the woodlands, the tidal river, and the different campsites, all stunning, private, and roomy. Mouth of Magaguadavic site is just the best camping site you could imagine! A peaceful area, right on the bay, With stellar sunsets and star-filled dark nights. And run by the kindest, most interesting guys! We will definitely be back!

Fabulous. From the moment I booked, Paul provided me with info to make my trip more enjoyable. Advising to take the ferries rather than drive the long way. Perfect. The camp sites a staggered around the old homestead. I was there in September so the camp population was small (perfect).
Paul’s campground is VERY non commercial. The town doesn’t know about it, so don’t ask directions. The sign is very rustic so pay attention to “street” numbers. The driveway is rustic and bumpy, don’t be deterred. The house that will greet you is a work in progress. Again, don’t be deterred. The campsites overlook the river and are spread out and lovely. No water or electricity at sites… no problem. I traveled from NH to Meatcove Cape Breton. Paul’s and Meatcove were my favorite spots. Note…. Meatcove is a long trip. My advice is to take Paul’s advice and take the ferries. Canadian border was small and calm. They did take my mace going in. Bear spray ok, mace not okay. Sweet dogs will greet you.
Thank you Paul and Marilyn for my lovely stay

Our family of four enjoyed the solitude this cabin on a small lake offered for a much needed staycation. We enjoying resting in the hammock and the gentle rhythm the decks rocking chair provided. We brought our own, but there are several fishing rods available and ready to use. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Looks like there’s going to be some upcoming renovations to the cabin so we can’t wait to see what’s coming up next at Grumpy Bear Hollow!

A gem! Better than great, the mouth of the Magaguadavic is amazing! The tides, the land, the views. Being self-contained in our RV made it so easy to camp. Our two dogs loved it as well.
Recommend this for anyone looking to get back to nature and away from the crowds.
Kayaks and canoes available to rent.
Paul is a great host giving lots of info about the local town of St George.

This location is right on the water with beautiful sunset and sunrise views! Very private and quiet with little light pollution for the best stargazing. Paul was extremely helpful with all sorts of information regarding things to see, history of the area, routes to take, and where to get the best blueberries and local food. The house previously experienced a fire but the bathroom was not damaged. Paul opened his bathroom to us for showers. He is a very nice and accommodating host.

This place is amazing, full stop.
All the experience of the tides of the Fundy Bay, and almost all to yourself.
Camped here two nights in our class C and wished we could have stayed longer. The property is beautiful and magical. The sites are spread out and there are a lot of them, each with its own unique features.
Paul is a wealth of information about the history and lore of the area and has great recommendations of things to do and see in the area.
Go out of your way to stay here if you can.
