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.

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.

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. 🥳

1 night at Fraserville Off-Grid Camping

What an amazing view! Dan was an excellent host - very responsive and helpful. He even drove my husband up to the site before hand so he could make sure it was doable for our rig. We are a 34' long fifth wheel and with the truck we are 50 +/- feet. Dan even escorted us 3 or so miles west on the main road (NS 209) so we could turn around and approach the driveway coming from the southwest because it was tight for us to turn in from the northeast. The gravel/reclaimed asphalt driveway is well maintained, but there is one pretty steep section. We made it up with no problem with our Ford F350 in AWD. Dan even mowed the site (Campsite #1) wider than normal knowing we needed some room to turn around and we had no issues with that either. The site was very well maintained, large, very private and there is a bonus outhouse, fire pit and the wood pile was well stocked. We chose not to have a fire because it was pretty windy and it had been dry there. You can walk the farm/logging roads for miles including one that goes down to the waterfront. It was fairly low tide when we did it so we could walk a long ways. We highly recommend this site!
