Island - Crooks Hill Farm & Makery

Hosted by Kathleen · Tancook Island, Nova Scotia

5 sites · Tent · 1 acre

This land was farmed by the Crooks family, one of the original Tancook families, going back to 1865. Crooks Hill grew cabbage to be made into sauerkraut - one of the main exports of Tancook Island! Now, it's home to our family and livestock. Come camp on our farm - hang out with the critters and maybe learn a 'granny skill' or two! We're located on a beautiful historic lobster fishing island, right next to the ocean. Unparalleled night skies. Local cafe with amazing (and reasonably priced) food. Post office, Wishing Stones gallery and meeting spot, South Cove Small Goods for snacks and unique finds, Toast Cafe at the community recreation centre, Southeast Cove beach and sand flats (when tide is out). Arrive by ferry from Chester, bring your bikes and tenting gear. Expect to enjoy fresh farm eggs and whatever herbs and veg in the garden, pet the goats and sheep, and watch the animal antics of a small working farm. Island tours available with South Cove Experiences plus small goods shop with pantry and takeaway lunch for your daily exploration. As your host is a bread-baker and fibre arts instructor, you can book a lesson to learn knitting, wool-spinning, felting, make an embroidered patch as a memento or just hang out and have your own creative getaway. Our lot is open, and while we recommend a camping spot on the flatter spots, there are a few spaces on our hill that give a wonderful view of the night sky and ocean in the daytime.

Up Crooks Hill

Tent site · Sleeps 6

Farther up the hill, the small walk is worth the view. It feels a bit more private, and has gorgeous sky viewing when the sky is clear. Taller grass means you might hear a pheasant or deer, or even find a green frog or hear the swoop of an owl in the dusk.
