Owl's Hollow offers you private camping and glamping on Tupper Lake at one of two unique sites: The Hut and The Perch.

This is a quiet part of the lake with very few residents and motorized boats.

Guaranteed the experience will bring you back to the calmness you may have been missing!

Multiple spots around the property invite quiet reflection. Take your shoes off and stay a while… and if it’s Spring or Fall know that the rocket mass heater can keep you warm on the coolest, rainiest days.

FORT NOVA

100%
(38)
67km from Camerons Brook Provincial Park · 10 sites · Tents, RVs · Jordan Falls, NS
Oh. My. Gawd. Where to start?! This is one of the original properties for the area. Owned by one lovely family since the 1700's until your current (very lucky) host. The house was the post office from 1861 to 1961. One of the rooms was the hospice for the area... SPOOOOOKY!!! There is a culvert from the 1700's on the property from where the province moved the highway sometime before the 40's. Neat! Reggie took over ownership in 2020 and is keeping things as original as possible, but adding his touch, like his battle axe travel trailer, Franny, which makes her home in the driveway. She's worth a visit! - TENT ADVANCED LEVEL LAKESIDE is by far the most beautiful; however, it is a small area, located on the edge of the property, and I can't be responsible for the neighbours to a certain extent. Fort Nova is your home for as long as you choose. Let's get campy! **KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE MAY BE OTHERS STAYING THERE** But there are multiple areas to choose from, including: the lawn, living amongst the pines, a forest clearing, or even lakeside (it's rough back there). You can have complete privacy and feel free to reach out to me at the house if you need anything. For those with RV's, there is an exterior outlet and a water spigot, but please remember, others might be staying there so we need to play nice and share! On the property, there is: - A decent-sized lake (I wish I had a canoe... :( ) - 1700's abandoned bridge - Lots of foraging (Won't be held liable if ya eat something silly!) - Rail Trail (runs through the property) So many bloody things to do nearby: - The ocean is right across the street. - Oasis Fish and Chips (Also right across the street!) - Beech Street Kitchen (in Lockeport) - Barrington (Lobster capital of the world, UFO capital of Canada) - Brooklyn (Hank Snow's hometown) - Provincial Parks - Boxing Rock Brewing Co.

Dragonfly Lake Serenity

100%
(2)
31km from Camerons Brook Provincial Park · 1 site · Tent, RV · Liverpool, NS
Escape to a Tranquil Lakefront Retreat Unwind on the sandy seating area of your private lakeside getaway. Lounge by the water as dragonflies dance overhead and frogs croon in the background. With privacy and breathtaking natural surroundings, it’s the perfect place to recharge. Family and pet friendly, no need to leave your fury friend with a sitter. Although I can highly recommend sitters if required. Explore scenic trails on foot or by bike, glide across the lake in a kayak, or take a refreshing swim in the calm, waters. In the evening, gather around a crackling fire—ample dry firewood available (bring a saw if you’d like) —and cook dinner under the stars for the ultimate outdoor experience. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from the heart of Bridgewater, you’ll have easy access to shopping, malls, supermarkets, laser tag, museums, and more. Fancy a change of scenery? Discover the beauty of nearby sandy beaches, each with its own charm. Only 1 hour and 20 minutes from Halifax, this lakeside haven offers the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and access to adventure.

Private River Camping for Vanlife

100%
(1)
34km from Camerons Brook Provincial Park · 1 site · Tent, RV · Liverpool, NS
This is a space to slow down. Camp by the river with your tent or fully self contained RV, and enjoy the peaceful river reflections and sounds of nature. Roughing it, but not too rough. Solar lanterns illuminate the path to the water. Your stay will be completely private. The yard is fenced in case you have a dog. Close to town but far enough away to feel rural. Reception but no wifi at the river. Set up a slack line or hammock in the daytime, explore the region, and enjoy a fire at night (currently there's a fire ban, scheduled to lift in October). The river is fantastic for kayaking, canoeing and SUP. You can rent them in town, or BYO. I have one paddleboard available (and two life jackets) if you want to explore the water.
