Another amazing vacation at SurferShade this year! My husband, friends and I really appreciated to cozyness and the large size of the site! SurferShade has everything you wish for a good and relaxing camping trip! We really enjoyed cooking on the bbq, taking naps in the hamac and playing guitar around the fire pit (no fire because of the burn restriction in nova scotia, but still I really nice spot to chill). Our dogs was really in vacation too, they had so much place to play and they loved being in the forest! Sam is an amazing, friendly and available host! If you're looking for a private camping spot (not 5 feet from an other camper), that has everything you'll need for a great stay with your camper, SurferShade is the option! 🏄🏼‍♀️🌊🌅

There is access to his back property for grilling out, eating, lounging in a hammock or having a fire. He joined us for conversation and entertained us with his musical talent.

And to top it all off, the host Sam was amazing and his son Josh. If you ever stay at Surfers Shade you have to ask Sam to pull out his guitar. The man can play. Thanks for having us Sam

I absolutely loved staying at Will’s riverside campsite! The setup was beautiful and thoughtfully laid out, with a cozy tent, comfy bedding, and even string lights that made the evenings magical. The location was peaceful and right by the river, offering the perfect blend of nature and relaxation,l. And we loved sitting by the fire pit at night, listening to the sounds of the water. Will was super friendly and quick to respond. This is the perfect spot if you’re looking for a peaceful, off-the-grid glamping experience. Highly recommend!

Contact host David in advance. We provide visitors with a rustic, unique, "glamping" experience. The Boat is filled with lobster-themed items that will send you on an imaginary lobster pot-pulling adventure.

Our amenities also include: fishing rods, comfy beds, fresh drinking-water, refrigerator, 2 bathroom facilities, a hot outdoor shower, walking trails, microwave, and AC.

Sure, you can sit inside and watch one of our many DVD movies, but instead why not : explore nature, take a walk through the woods, talk to your wife, or friend, play with the kids, or throw a ball for your dog? If you want to relax, visit the golf course in town or just chill on the comfy deck. Do you want to ride, your bike on mountain trails, fish, visit a lighthouse or a petting farm?

This was one of the original homesteads in the Margarees. There was an old sawmill on site which was used to build the house and barn. It was sold to a man who started renovations for a summer house but ended up listing it for sale. I purchased it and completely renovated the 100-year-old house. Shortly after, my brother and I started an outfitting company with no plan of building a campground, but in 2017 we saw a great opportunity for building something unique. We wanted to keep a backwoods camping feel, but yet create it around a hostel-inspired environment. We launched June 1, 2018 and are in full swing now. We look forward to meeting you and will help you out in any way to make your trip here something to remember. Adventure awaits at this eco-camping hostel offering a natural setting, overlooking a picturesque valley. This location offers close to off-grid camping with a twist of comfort; furnished Glamping tents, sleeping up to 4 people per tent on a queen bed with twin camping beds for extra guests. Cooking gear, bedding, and towels are provided. Each tent, located at this eco-hostel, has its own campfire pit, with a solar outdoor shower on site and beautiful views of the river valley.

Private Forest Getaway!

1 site · Tent · Head Of Jeddore, NS
Nestled in a 4-acre forest, located in a historic fishing village, is a secluded and private forest getaway! Want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, but not have to drive hours to be in the still of the forest? Welcome to the perfect campsite! A short 30-second walk through a forest path, you'll find a ready-to-camp site to unplug and enjoy! Provided for you to use are: a large tent (13ft x 8ft), an outdoor mat, a table for two, a food/coffee prep table, a fireplace, solar lights, a decorated shade/tarp cover, and a private composting toilet awaits your arrival! Snuggling up under the stars by the campfire, while listening to the wind through the trees, and the waves rolling against the shore. In the morning, you'll awaken to the sound of the birds singing - and if you are up early enough - you could spot deer and bunnies! Located within 10 minutes driving distance of the site is an NSLC, a local pub, a Foodland, a laundry/cafe, and a local shop that sells almost everything you can think of! 30 minutes by car is the infamous Martinique Beach. 20 minutes away, there are 2 pizza shops, 2 fish and chip shops, a library, a used bookstore, a local cafe, and a Lawton's. Sawdust and hand sanitizer are provided inside the composting toilet tent. 1 scoop should be sufficient, and you can leave all garbage in the black garbage bin that will be available on site. Additional options are available upon request for a small fee, such as: - To rent for the duration of your stay: a queen-size, 18" tall air mattress, inflated ($20.00 per stay) - To rent for the duration of your stay: 5L water jug with electric spout ($5.00 per stay) - Celebration package ($40.00 - includes a bottle of sparkling wine/Prosecco with two glasses) - Romance package ($45.00 - includes a bottle of sparkling wine/Prosecco, two glasses, and rose petals set up) Missing in the photos are: the decorated shade cover, the food prep/coffee table, solar lights, garbage bin. To be added to the campsite soon: a picnic table and a ground mat for the composting toilet. To note: The table and chairs in the image are almost child-size. People who are 5'10 may find the seats uncomfortable. They are just a placeholder until I have the picnic table put in.

The Wild Islands, 100 Wild Islands, Wild Islands Coast. Regardless of the name, we couldn’t be more lucky to have this pristine wilderness at our fingertips. Considered to be “The most valuable islands you’ve never heard of”, the archipelago is one of the last remaining intact and ecologically rich island groups of its size in North America. We want to share it with you… responsibly. As members of 1% for the Planet and Leave No Trace Canada, we’re committed to conserving the islands and helping others to do the same. We believe that people can only fully appreciate the islands’ unmatched beauty and conservation value by experiencing them firsthand. Murphy’s Camping on the Ocean has been operating on Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore for over 60 years! This makes Murphy’s Camping one of the longest-running tourism operations in Nova Scotia. Our campground lands began as a coastal fishing settlement where you’ll still find a fisherman’s wharf and the old salt fish tanks from years past when schooners would load this cargo bound for the New England market. Over the years the Murphys have provided services such as schooner supply runs, rum running, moon shining, boat building, blacksmith services, farm produce, and sport fishing. With the introduction of our brand new geo-domes and cottage, our establishment now offers 10 months of Wild Islands fun! A 1.5 km hiking trail is planned for September 2025, which will make it even easier to enjoy the Wild Islands Coast.
