Moo Nay Farms is a located in Cooks Brook, Nova Scotia, about an hour from Halifax and 20 minutes from our local airport. We are a 100 acre free range beef, pig and rabbit farm, and horse boarding facility on a corner bordering on 2 rivers, a running brook and a sitting on a huge pile of sand. We encourage our campers to also be free range and choose any nice quiet spot they find, a wide open sand lot, along the river, or deep in the woods. Campers are free to set up tents and sites on either side of the pasture, I don't allow trailer campers in the pastures as the cows tend to like to use them as scratching posts and can damage units. You never know when a litter of piglets is going to be born, a new calf arrives, or when the cows will skip the fence and we call on ya for a cattle drive, but always guaranteed something interesting is going to happen on the farm. We welcome campers to bring their pets responsibly, please be aware it is a livestock farm. For people vacationing or travelling with horses, we have stalls and paddocks available and plenty of sand arenas and trails to ride in. Key features of the property are definitely the livestock, horses, a beautiful swimming or fishing hole at the corner of the property tons of walking or biking trails, a beach volleyball court, huge bbq pit, firepit area complete with seating, bbq capable of roasting whole hogs if you're planning a party event or gathering. With 100, very accessible acres, so many things to do, to learn about free range farming, and country life, we're sure you will find a beautiful location to enjoy nature on our farm, and lots of fun for the kids.

The best camping near Tatamagouche with horseback riding guide

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.
