Welcome to our safe-space Rustic Black Lab Retreat where Sullivan is resident lab!

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.

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!!

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. 🥳

Wow, literally speechless! If you are looking a whimsical fairytale location with the nicest hosts ever, look no further. John and MJ were incredibly kind and so passionate about their charming wildflower farm as well as the history and preservation of their beautiful land. The site isn’t too far from the main road, but it felt so private and secluded. I was encouraged to explore the property using the many trails they have and I even went for a little swim in the stream hidden by trees behind the site. The actual site was magnificent, and it was evident how much time and care goes into making sure the area is not only clean, but inviting with little wildflower arrangements and fairy lights. In the evening I was able to listen to the many birds, take in a breathtaking sunset, and look at all the fireflies. Not to mention how clear the stars were at night!! Thank you John and MJ for a wonderful stay!!

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!
