Private River Camping for Vanlife

1 site · Tent, RV · Liverpool, NS
This is a space to slow down. Camp by the river with your tent or fully self contained RV, and enjoy the peaceful river reflections and sounds of nature. Roughing it, but not too rough. Solar lanterns illuminate the path to the water. Your stay will be completely private. The yard is fenced in case you have a dog. Close to town but far enough away to feel rural. Reception but no wifi at the river. Set up a slack line or hammock in the daytime, explore the region, and enjoy a fire at night (currently there's a fire ban, scheduled to lift in October). The river is fantastic for kayaking, canoeing and SUP. You can rent them in town, or BYO. I have one paddleboard available (and two life jackets) if you want to explore the water.
