We have a half acre lake front lot with privacy. We have access directly to the lake from the lot and a laneway for a small boat as well.

If you want peace and quiet then here it is, a nice fresh lot on a lake out in the middle of no where. We DO NOT have any any of the equipment (kayaks, paddle boards and fishing equip) there you must bring your own.
There is no washroom or electricity yet, so please be aware of this.

Maplewood Creek is a peaceful, clothing-optional property designed for those who value connection — with nature, with like-minded community, and with themselves. Whether you’re a seasoned naturist or simply curious about a freer and more grounded way of being, you’re welcome here.
Set just off the beaten path, the land offers a quiet, rustic setting where guests can unplug and unwind in comfort. Think of it as a gentle step into a more natural rhythm — a place where the air feels fresher, time slows down, and there’s no pressure to be anything but yourself.
Each campsite or rental space will spaced thoughtfully to give you privacy, while still allowing opportunities to connect with others if you choose. (We currently have one site operational)
If you’d prefer to enjoy the entire space to yourself, that’s welcomed too — we fully support both community connection and complete solitude.
The experience is intentionally off-grid however we appreciate that some guests enjoy the ability to be plugged in. Check each sites description for details on cell/wifi service.
Basic amenities are provided to make your stay easy, without compromising the simplicity of the experience.
Maplewood Creek is not a resort — it’s a natural setting with a touch of enchantment, where your body and soul are invited to rest.
IMPORTANT: the property is in the early stages of development and in its natural state. As with any natural destination you share the space with nature including black flies, mosquitoes, ticks and other insects. We do our best to minimize their presence in safe ways. Protecting yourself will ultimately be visitors responsibility.

Second time here and feels like a home away from home. Such a cute cozy cottage to escape the world in. The weather wasn’t the greatest but with recommendations for places to cool off and a lovely rain water shower, we kept most of the heat away. Would suggest this as the perfect get away for anyone looking to explore annapolis royal or just get away from the business of day to day life! 💕

What an absolutely wonderful place to get away from it all! The campsite is tucked away up on the mountain with sweeping views of the valley and the nearby ocean. It felt incredibly private and secluded, like we had our own little corner of the woods completely to ourselves.
The site itself was fantastic. The outhouse was exceptionally clean and well stocked, the firepit was amazing, and having split wood and split logs ready and waiting was such a thoughtful and convenient touch.
We also managed to arrive an entire day early thanks to a planning error on my part, and Dan could not have been more gracious or accommodating. He had absolutely no issue with us being there early, which we truly appreciated and which made an already wonderful experience even better.
If you're looking for peace, quiet, beautiful views, and a chance to genuinely unplug and get away from it all, this is the place. We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend Dan's campsite!

C’est assez éloigné comme endroit, donc il faut faire le plein d’essence et de tout! Très calme, très propre, une nature champagne charmante, avec un ne vue incroyable et malgré tout, facile à trouver. Avec notre VR de 22 pieds nous n’avons cependant pas pu se mettre au niveau nul part sur le terrain. Même avec nos blocs, nous étions toujours un peu croche. Mais c’est très noir et très tranquille. Idéal pour voir les étoiles, se promener nu, faire une rencontre du troisième type et voir un yeti…

Alexa, one of the owners, recommended a lot of things to do in the area. Also on the property there was lots of nature so see and explore. A real hidden gem in Nova Scotia!

3 nights at Moss Cottage Forest Glamping
Moss Cottage is a beautiful place nestled in the woods and surrounded by nature. The building itself is constructed perfectly and paired with the most fantastic decor that is like something out of a vintage dream. Every detail has been carefully thought out and you will find everything you need including things you didn't even know you needed. What could be better? How about two incredible hosts! Chantelle and Gary are great and made sure I needed nothing more to completely enjoy my stay. Turn up, unplug, unwind! Glamping at its finest.

Dan's campsite was gorgeous!! Well stocked with kindling, cardboard and wood. The site is super big, we had 3 tents and could have still fit more. The toilet is very nice, far beyond my expecations. And Dan was super helpful, i will be back to his campsite. One note, make sure you dont forget a hammer to get your tent stakes in the ground as the dirt is dense and rocky.

Absolutely gorgeous view from our campsite on Dan's land. Very private and peaceful. Dan was there to great us which was very helpful in getting set up. We have a 29FT trailer and it was a bit challenging to level on the sloped lot but Dan provided lots of lumber pieces to help level our trailer. The campsite had a fire pit with firewood and a brand new outhouse! Highly recommend Dan's Fraserville property to camp if youre looking for privacy and gorgeous views. Also a bonus is its only 10 minutes to Advocate which has gas bar and groceries and restaurant.
