50km from Liverpool · 10 sites · Tents, RVs · Jordan Falls, NS

Oh. My. Gawd. Where to start?! This is one of the original properties for the area. Owned by one lovely family since the 1700's until your current (very lucky) host. The house was the post office from 1861 to 1961. One of the rooms was the hospice for the area... SPOOOOOKY!!! There is a culvert from the 1700's on the property from where the province moved the highway sometime before the 40's. Neat! Reggie took over ownership in 2020 and is keeping things as original as possible, but adding his touch, like his battle axe travel trailer, Franny, which makes her home in the driveway. She's worth a visit! - TENT ADVANCED LEVEL LAKESIDE is by far the most beautiful; however, it is a small area, located on the edge of the property, and I can't be responsible for the neighbours to a certain extent. Fort Nova is your home for as long as you choose. Let's get campy! **KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE MAY BE OTHERS STAYING THERE** But there are multiple areas to choose from, including: the lawn, living amongst the pines, a forest clearing, or even lakeside (it's rough back there). You can have complete privacy and feel free to reach out to me at the house if you need anything. For those with RV's, there is an exterior outlet and a water spigot, but please remember, others might be staying there so we need to play nice and share! On the property, there is: - A decent-sized lake (I wish I had a canoe... :( ) - 1700's abandoned bridge - Lots of foraging (Won't be held liable if ya eat something silly!) - Rail Trail (runs through the property) So many bloody things to do nearby: - The ocean is right across the street. - Oasis Fish and Chips (Also right across the street!) - Beech Street Kitchen (in Lockeport) - Barrington (Lobster capital of the world, UFO capital of Canada) - Brooklyn (Hank Snow's hometown) - Provincial Parks - Boxing Rock Brewing Co.

4. Private River Camping for Vanlife

100%

(1)

4km from Liverpool · 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.

5. Boondockers Lunenburg

48km from Liverpool · 5 sites · Tents, RVs · Centre, NS

Our little piece of paradise is just over 2 acres with a pond, gardens, ducks and chickens, and a bee yard. Our home is one of the first built in the area in the 1790's and the Cabin is attached to our barn, built in the early 1900's.

7. Maplewood Creek

64km from Liverpool · 1 site · Lodging · Barss Corner, NS

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 more free and 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.

8. Forest Shore Domes

53km from Liverpool · 2 sites · Lodging · Jordan Ferry, NS

A bespoke luxury nature experience, on the Atlantic Ocean. Forest Shore Dome is a Geodesic Dome within the forests of Nova Scotia’s South Shore, with ocean views and the intention to create a relationship between us and nature. It is a place to leave the ‘busy’ behind. Slowing down, re-grounding, and reconnecting - heart, body and spirit. The forest & ocean, ruled by the moon and the seasons - time does not exist here, as we know it, in our normal day-to-day. You set the pace here. With the intention of having all your senses awakened while falling in sync with the pulse of the nature around you, minimalist luxury is the caveat. You will have the best of everything you need, and nothing of what you do not. We designed the dome to be a hemisphere that offers an opportunity to experience all four elements - earth, wind, fire and water - within the sacred geometry of the its' structure. Loading the wood burning fireplace while the vintage claw foot tub fills with hot water may become your ritual. Whilst the wind moves through the trees, and the waves reach the shore, becomes your meditation. The ocean is only a short walk down a winding forest path, and is often best enjoyed with a hot coffee or loose leaf tea. Every item, from the organic Egyptian cotton and Flax linen bedding on the king size bed, to the organic wild harvested body/bath products and local fresh roasted coffee, has been intentionally chosen for their love of people and planet. Transparency is everything.

2 nights at Private River Camping for Vanlife

Suzanne is an amazing host. So accomodating and really wanted to make sure I had a great experience. PLUS the spot by the river is gorgeous! You can hear a little traffic from the road but it was faint and silent at night. Generally so peaceful and the reflection of the red barn across the river looked like a painting. It is a picturesque spot.

Weekend Trip to FORT NOVA

We arrived at sunset to Reginald’s farmhouse. Yard was mainly flat and easy to navigate. Sunset was beautiful, and we didn’t know when we booked that it was so close to the seaside. We ate an apple from the tree which was delicious. Farmhouse is a little museum onto itself and smells slightly of damp. Bathroom has all necessities and shower was excellent. Overall a perfect peaceful spot to stay! Host was a great writer and communicated well

9 nights at FORT NOVA

For me, Fort Nova was heaven and strategically located. The peaceful setting was great. That peace was interrupted at times as I hiked down the trail to the huge beaver pond each morning with coffee in hand. The interruption was, many mornings, from either an eagle or an osprey. Located an hour from Yarmouth and an hour from Liverpool, the farm was perfectly located to explore the entire southern part of the province. And, next door was a restaurant with a view of Jordan Bay.

Fort Nova, for me, was heaven. Perfectly situated to explore the southeast corner of Nova Scotia. Yarmouth was only hour to the east and Liverpool an hour to the north. Charming Lockport, with it expansive beach, was fifteen minutes away. The solitude and the grounds are fantastic. My morning walk along the trail, through the pines, to the expansive beaver pond was magical. A place that allows one to experience quiet and solitude...except for the screech of the bald eagle.

Reggie was very responsive and friendly. He took the time to answer any questions we had and we were welcomed to explore the property, including a really cool old stone bridge! We were able to use the restroom/hot shower in the house on the property. It was easy to park out camper van on the property. Very well priced and yummy restaurant right across the street!
