Discover 90 acres of secluded heaven nestled high above the Shubenacadie River. Wander along our 2 km of groomed trails or forge your own path through the enchanting woods. Witness the ebb and flow of the tide every 12 hours and marvel at the river rafters as they glide by. Befriend our two majestic horses and, during the seasonal apple harvest, indulge in picking ripe fruits straight from the trees. Delight in the spectacle of bald eagles gracefully soaring above the cliffside, or lose yourself in the mesmerizing expanse of stars overhead.
For the adventurous spirits, set off on your bike or ATV to explore the rugged terrain. Just 15 minutes away lies the historical town of Maitland, waiting to be explored.
This is an experience unlike any other in Nova Scotia — secluded, private, and simply stunning. With several different sites available, some equipped with wifi while others offer greater seclusion, riverfront access, or tranquil wooded areas, there's something to suit every preference. Surrounded on three sides by the river, immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of our secluded sanctuary.

Great spot with a great view of the effects of the Fundy Bay tidal shift on rivers. The host met us and escorted us to the spot. We parked in a grassy field with beautiful views. We were joined by friends in their own van and it made for a lovely evening.

We called ahead and Quinton met us as we drove in and showed us to the site. We had our choice of spots because we were the only ones there. We watched the tidal bore come up the river and a mild sunset in the orchard. Early in the morning, we heard some ruffled grouse calling. A very peaceful stay.

From the moment we arrived at Chris’s land we felt very welcomed. Chris was onsite to greet us and show us the camping area. The camp is a work in progress so no high-tech fancy camping facilities, but if your aim is to lay back, relax and leave the daily grind behind this is your place. The campsites are along the shore and at low tide a great walk. Our site enjoyed a beautiful sunrise and after a full day of exploring the area we took our camp chairs to the shoreline to watch the magnificent sunset over the water. The camp is 30 mins from groceries and gas. Chris allows dogs to roam off leash and our pup loved the freedom. Chris and his mom Gail check in with you daily to talk and answer your questions and they go out if their way to help make your stay comfortable.
We booked for one night and immediately booked a second night. We ended up spending 5 nights. Thank you Chris and Gail

It is a beautiful place on the edge of the ocean! Definitely worth stopping on your eastern shore road trip. We had 3 tents and all found flat spots. Burn ban was in effect but no big deal because the night sky was lit up. Minimal light pollution here.

We had an amazing camping experience here! The spot was peaceful and surrounded by nature, with direct access to the water. The off-leash area for our dog was a huge bonus; she had the time of her life running free and playing by the shore. Chris was incredibly thoughtful and friendly, making us feel truly welcome. A beautiful, quiet escape we’ll definitely return to.

Wonderful scenery, loved looking at the horses as well! Beautiful property! Just be sure to leash your dogs as there is no fence to stop them from the cliff! Overall wonderful stay and also Pam was a great host she responded in a timely manner and gave us great info about stores nearby and when the tide comes in! Thanks Pam!

Wonderful kind people and a beautiful spot.
I had a little trouble getting in because it was my first time hauling the camper and reverse is not my friend but that's on me.
It was quiet and peaceful and in the words of my 1.5 year old the first day we showed up "WOW" . I would absolutely go again.
