We were in a self contained van so we didn't use everything that was available to us. Appreciated the BBQ and seating. Site has a bit of a slope but our levelling blocks handled it.

Nice open hillside site near the coast w niceties I didn’t expect like dishwashing station, shower & outhouse. Liane is a great host n I wouldn’t hesitate to return. Site is mostly private (depending on your rig n how you park) and a good distance from the house. Only catch here is I’m not sure a 2WD would make it up steep driveway?

We loved our stay! Liane thought of everything a camper might need and went above and beyond. Our kids loved running around the property, petting all the cars, feeding the pig. Absolutely reccomend this place

This is a absolutely beautiful place to camp. So quiet and private. Minutes away from the most beautiful beach in NS Clam Harbour Beach. I am so glad we went there. BBQ provided along with a shelter over it. Just stunning sunrise as well as sun sets. The owners are great people, very friendly and helpful. Will definitely rebook there again - 10 outa 10

Great experience with Liane, she has provided everything could need. Private site, clean facilities, makes you feel welcome and touches base to see if you need anything. Quiet, rarely any road noise. The sky was amazing at night, you could easily see the Milky Way. Bring the bug spray, mosquitos can get a bit aggressive. Minimal Verizon signal, but good wifi

A little slice of peace on earth

My adult daughter and I just enjoyed our first couple nights here . The owner, Liane has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable ! She is definitely what we call a super host . We were exited To meet “Tess “. We were not disappointed , She is adorable . We love pigs so we were in our happy place . She helped me get my tiny homemade teardrop trailer levelled and set up . Clam harbour beach is 5 min away . A beautiful beach each with nice big waves and soft sands . Fish n chips is near by but Liana has every thing set up for quick meal preps right at the site . Can’t wait to go back :) PS don’t forget your mosquito spray :) it is out in the woods !

Bogart loves Liane's place!

We have an old dog that we didn't think was going to see camping in 2023 but Liane made out Easter dreams come true. We were able to hang out for 3 nights with our 2 dogs, had access to lots of land and trails, and she even allowed us to pet her pot belly pig Tess. Her place is very close to the beach and we spent 2 days there. She was fabulous at anticipating our needs and while we didn't need much, she has everything you need for a great stay. Highly recommended.

Above and beyond!!!

Tent · Group trip

Wow! Liane went above and beyond setting up her space for others to enjoy! A grill, WiFi, electricity, chairs, fire, she really thought of everything to make camping more comfortable. Her property has a view of the sunset and ocean. It was such a beautiful evening. It is also only a few minutes from Clam Harbor with a lovely beach and hike. Taylor head was incredible 30 min north. And if you are a surfer Martinique is only 25min away with board rentals and lessons. We can’t recommend her place enough. She is awesome!!! PS bring bug spray but that goes for coastal Nova Scotia.

A wonderful camping site in an amazing location. Liane was a wonderful hostess and made sure all of our needs were met. We had access to power and water and lots of open space for the kids to move. She provided chairs, garbage disposal and a firepit. Also I have a larger travel trailer and had no problem getting up to the site and out again. Thank you
