The Ship Wreck is a secluded getaway on Hennigar Lake 45 minutes from Halifax. It includes a converted 29’ sailboat, a large open air cookhouse including a wood fired pizza oven and propane fridge and stove and a wash house with composting toilet and gravity fed sink. In May we will have available a further sleeping accommodation featuring an antique double bedstead. An outdoor shower can wash away a day’s labours! Added amenities include kayaks, a horseshoe pitch, two fire pits, a play area including a basketball court and a hammock beneath the overhanging trees. A new 10’ by 15’ tenting / chilling area sits beneath the trees next to the amenities. Sandy walkways connect the beach to all of the different elements. Multiple spots around the property invite quiet reflection. Take your shoes off and stay a while… and if it’s Spring or Fall know that the rocket mass heater can keep you warm on the coolest, rainiest days.

Make our hobby farm your home base while you experience everything the beautiful Annapolis Valley has to offer! Our farm is nestled between two brooks and sheltered by the North Mountain, just outside the quaint village of Lawrencetown. Say hello to our friendly horses and sheep! Conveniently located 30 minutes east of Annapolis Royal, 50 minutes east of Digby, and 50 minutes west of Wolfville. There many lovely towns to stop in on your drive through the valley. You can be on the shore of the Bay of Fundy in 15 minutes. We are a 4 minute drive to the Annapolis Valley Exhibition grounds. With so many beaches, wineries, orchards, restaurants, trails and waterways nearby - you won't run out of things to do!
Enjoy your morning coffee while the sun rises over the North Mountain, and if you're lucky, a sighting of the deer that frequent the property. After a busy day spent exploring the valley, enjoy gazing up at the milky way (stargazing is incredible here with some of the darkest skies in North America) next to a crackling campfire. Fall asleep to the sounds of our brooks' gentle burbling, and coyotes howling in the distance.

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.

Nous avons reçu de très bonnes indications très détaillées pour nous rendre au site. Le terrain est grand avec une belle vue sur la mer. Il y a même des chaises et un jeu de "washer" disponible sur le terrain. L'endroit est bien situé (à mi-chemin entre Lunenburg et Peggy's Cove).

We stayed for 2 nights my boyfriend and I. We LOVED our stay at the ranch!!! So quiet and peaceful 😇! It was nice to wake up the mornings in our little RV with a beautiful view on the horses and the sheeps 🐴🐑. Alexa was a excellent host with us and she gave us many good suggestions for activities near the neighborhood. Thus, I personally loved to have access to a lovely shower for guests near our RV before going to bed🚿. We recommand this place 😇!

45 ft fifth wheel
With pets
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!

This was my second time at Fraserville Off - grid and it is exactly what one would want from off- grid camping. There is lots of wood and an outhouse with toilet paper and wood chips. Dan is not far, just message him if you need anything. Site 1 is very private with an awesome view of the water. Can’t go wrong here!

We enjoyed our stay at Alexa's place. When we arrived we were very friendly greeted by her husband. After we parked our trailer he showed us around the well maintained property and gave us some dininng suggestions.
The camp spot is nestled beside trees near a brook. There was a picknick table and a fire pit with chairs.
The shower in the woods is one of a kind. Everything was very clean.
We definitely come back.
