Maplewood Creek is a peaceful, clothing-optional property designed for those who value connection — with nature, with like-minded community, and with themselves. Whether you’re a seasoned naturist or simply curious about a freer and more grounded way of being, you’re welcome here. Set just off the beaten path, the land offers a quiet, rustic setting where guests can unplug and unwind in comfort. Think of it as a gentle step into a more natural rhythm — a place where the air feels fresher, time slows down, and there’s no pressure to be anything but yourself. Each campsite or rental space is spaced thoughtfully to give you privacy, while still allowing opportunities to connect with others if you choose. If you’d prefer to enjoy the entire space to yourself, that’s welcomed too — we fully support both community connection and complete solitude. The experience is intentionally off-grid. While some access to Wi-Fi may be available through a booster, service can be unreliable, and many guests find this part of the charm. Basic amenities are provided to make your stay easy, without compromising the simplicity of the experience. Maplewood Creek is not a resort — it’s a natural setting with a touch of enchantment, where the breeze moves freely, the sky feels wider, and your body and soul are invited to rest.

Welcome to The Three Bees Tiny Farm in Gore. We are a small homestead located on 2.6 acres in the beautiful community of West Gore, Nova Scotia. The camping site is located a short walk through our blackberry patch back into the woods. From your campsite, there is a small stream down the hill. We have chickens, turkeys, Guinea fowl, ducks, goats, and pigs. You’re more than welcome to come up and say hello. The pigs are happy to greet anyone, especially if you bring a snack. The goats are friendly and always happy to see people who will give them attention. It is a 10-minute drive to Kennetcook, where you can get ice cream at Summertime Treats. They also have all the basics, including a pharmacy, gas station, hardware store, grocery store, Robins Donuts, and Snappers pub and grill. The Kennetcook River is also a great place to fish. Our area boasts many atv trails as well as a mountain biking park just up the road in Gore. There is also a gas station/convenience store/nslc a 4-minute drive in the other direction in Rawdon Gold Mines. 30-minute drive to Windsor and about 25 minutes to Elmsdale.

Escape to a Tranquil Lakefront Retreat Unwind on the sandy seating area of your private lakeside getaway. Lounge by the water as dragonflies dance overhead and frogs croon in the background. With privacy and breathtaking natural surroundings, it’s the perfect place to recharge. Family and pet friendly, no need to leave your fury friend with a sitter. Although I can highly recommend sitters if required. Explore scenic trails on foot or by bike, glide across the lake in a kayak, or take a refreshing swim in the calm, waters. In the evening, gather around a crackling fire—ample dry firewood available (bring a saw if you’d like) —and cook dinner under the stars for the ultimate outdoor experience. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from the heart of Bridgewater, you’ll have easy access to shopping, malls, supermarkets, laser tag, museums, and more. Fancy a change of scenery? Discover the beauty of nearby sandy beaches, each with its own charm. Only 1 hour and 20 minutes from Halifax, this lakeside haven offers the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and access to adventure.
