1 night at Bootsie's

We surprised my parents with a stay at Bootsie Back 40 Cabin for their 40th anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect! The hosts went above and beyond with every detail. The cabin itself is so cozy and welcoming, surrounded by stunning fall colors that made the whole experience magical. My parents loved the peace and quiet — they spent their mornings sipping tea while listening to the birds sing. The hosts were wonderfully friendly and even took photos of my parents for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. They also got to visit the farm animals (including two emus!), which they absolutely adored. Thank you for helping me give my parents such a memorable and heartfelt experience. This will be a trip they’ll cherish forever!

Weekend Trip to Bootsie's

Great little spot. The wood stove made it very cozy and we had enough power for the water, lights and coffee in the morning. It was great having a camping experience while not having to take down tents in the morning. Recommend it if you're in the area.

2 nights at Breezy Petals Camping Resort

We truly enjoyed our stay at Breezy Petals. The dome was lovely - spacious, comfortable (especially during the much-needed rainstorm), and had everything we needed. Yun is an incredible host - we loved every minute.

2 nights at Bootsie's

Bootsie's was our home for 2 nights During our road trip from Ontario to the Maritimes. It was well equipped and we were able to drive our car right to the cabin. We enjoyed the luxury of some electricity (while it lasted) to make some great coffee that was provided. We really enjoyed hanging out with the Emus and Chickens and taking in the sweeping views at sunset. Loved our stay here!

Where to go

Rushtons Beach Provincial Park

Rushtons Beach Provincial Park is just a short drive from Tatamagouche and renowned for its sprawling sandy coastline along the Northumberland Strait. Campers can enjoy the warmest ocean water in Nova Scotia, observe piping plovers or ospreys from broad sandbars or walk the boardwalk that stretches across a picturesque salt marsh. Nearby waterfront campgrounds are well-equipped for both tents and RVs, with dump stations, playgrounds, and outdoor showers. Or splurge on a private Mongolian Yurt closer to Tatamagouche to continue a day of luxury on the water.

Amherst Shore Provincial Park

Journey farther along Northumberland Strait to Amherst Shore Provincial Park, where the natural beauty of the rugged shoreline is surrounded by red sandstone cliffs and dense woods. Hike the Annabelles Brook Trail as it winds through the park toward the beach, offering glimpses of local wildlife such as foxes and ospreys. After a day exploring, retire to on-site woodland campsites, which are open seasonally and equipped with amenities like picnic tables, firepits, electric hookups, and clean restroom facilities.

Tidnish Dock Provincial Park

Dive into a unique blend of nature and history at Tidnish Dock Provincial Park. Once the site of the groundbreaking Chignecto Marine Transport Railway project, now it offers scenic views of the Tidnish River, interpretive signs, and pathways leading to remnants of this ambitious project. For stellar hikes through the park, try the Tidnish Dock Walking Trail to the suspension bridge. Nearby campgrounds are available for tents, RVs, and cabin rentals, offering amenities such as electrical hookups, clean washrooms, and playgrounds.

When to go

Tatamagouche and its neighboring attractions experience summers with temperatures ranging from 18–25°C, ideal for beach activities and hiking. Winters can be brisk, going as low as -10°C. Snowfall is common, and nearby areas in northern Nova Scotia offer snowshoeing and cross-country skiing opportunities. Spring introduces blooming flora, while autumn paints the landscape with vibrant foliage, and both have mild temperatures for camping enthusiasts.
