Wow the pictures looked good but being there was a whole other kind of beauty. The spot is tranquil and perfect, Karen and Ben have everything you could possibly need! The cabin was nice and cozy at night and the view of the stars is incredible! Definitely already planning a return trip!

This spot is absolutely gorgeous! If you are in need of a tech detox, this is the place! Environmentally conscious and well maintained, it is a fun space for families or for adults who want to take a break for the crazy pace of life. Definitely recommend!

My friends and I loved tent camping on Mark's land! The view was beautiful, and the property was very clean and private. There were amazing amenities available for us to use. We had so much fun canoeing and paddleboarding on the lake. Would recommend staying here!

We were honored to be Kathleen's first official guests! This is an amazing location, basically right in Lunenburg, which meant we could stay out late and hit the town early. It was quiet, and we loved seeing the chickens roaming around and the birds in the pond in the morning. Kathleen was able to provide some great local recommendations.

Well drained site in the woods, I came with a 17 foot RV and had no issues. Little sand area on the water gets some good sunshine. Private spot…your dry camping…
Host is excellent, helpful and a very nice human…
Nice area here, bridgewater is great for supplies, beaches everywhere, very clean environment
Close enough (25m) to crescent beach for kitesurfing…pray for wind
I’ll be back…🏄♂️

Nice quiet 2 day stay with a canoe and pota potty if you need them. Google maps takes you to the correct driveway at #3242. The owners driveway is the next one to the south, before this one if you are heading north. There's no numbers but you'll see the security chain.

Directions were clear to get to site, hosts were quick to respond to various queries & had done their research on DNR regulations & how they applied to their properties in light of the forest fire, trail access, & burn ban situation surrounding my visit. Sit was clear & as described. Wagon provided was functional & easy to use to navigate a trail from the parking to the site.

Owl's Hollow is the perfect place for a getaway - Karen and Ben have truly thought about everything! In the Hut there was a book about forest bathing, and their property is truly the epitome of it - peaceful, serene and therapeutic. The beautiful views, steps from access to the lake and the added conveniences (chairs, structures, water, etc.) is unbeatable. Karen was quick to respond, kind and very accommodating. Looking forward to coming back!

Nous avons reçu de très bonnes indications très détaillées pour nous rendre au site. Le terrain est grand avec une belle vue sur la mer. Il y a même des chaises et un jeu de "washer" disponible sur le terrain. L'endroit est bien situé (à mi-chemin entre Lunenburg et Peggy's Cove).

We had a very nice 2 day stay at this campground. We have 2 dogs and it is great to have the single camp site so as not to have to worry about neighboring campers with dogs as well.
The campground itself is very easy to get to in any kind of car, nice and clear/flat space to set up a tent but with a lot mature deciduous trees interspersed providing very significant shade cover during the day (nice and cool wven when really hot)
If you're looking for a bit of a walk you can get into rails to trails
The one adjustment that we had to make was regarding the proximity of the site to the road. While it is definitely far enough back from the road to feel private in terms of visibility, it is close enough that you hear the cars driving by, and it is a medium-busy road. So it is just good to be aware of that variable, and personal preference whether this would bother you or not. I was quite aware of it on arrival the first afternoon/evening but by the second day/night I had adjusted.
And with really only this one consideration, it seems very fair for the price!

Weekend Trip to Moss Cottage Forest Glamping
I did not want to leave! Incredibly thoughtful touches everywhere (bug spray - which wasn't needed) solar lights with 1 remote to control them all, speaker, fans, so many things to use in the bathroom- too many to list) just know a lot of thought has gone into wondering how best they can be of service to folks. Easy walk in to the site (5-7 min). Lovely screened in porch to sit and listen to birds. Reading in bed is like being in a tree house with huge windows. And vintage stuff everywhere!!! A delight. Order the breakfast. She's a trained chef. Then go to Lunns Mills (she owns that, too) also swim at mickey hill lake. Clear warm water and hardly anyone there. 10 min walk through forest to the lake. Do it! Do it all!!

Overview
About
Embark on an adventure at Cookville Provincial Park, where the serene LaHave River awaits your exploration. This quaint park offers a gateway to the adjacent LaHave River Trail, perfect for a day of hiking, picnicking, and immersing oneself in the natural beauty of Nova Scotia. While the park is community-operated and may not boast extensive facilities, its charm lies in the intimate connection visitors forge with the landscape.
When to go
Visit Cookville Provincial Park during the warm summer months for the best experience, as the LaHave River and trails are most accessible. Spring and fall offer a quieter visit with a display of seasonal beauty, while winters can be harsh, limiting access to the park's features.
Know before you go
- Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Be mindful of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities within this timeframe.
- Wear appropriate footwear for hiking along the LaHave River Trail.
- Remember to carry out all trash, as the park operates with a leave-no-trace policy.
- Accessibility may vary across different areas of the park, so inquire ahead if you have specific needs.
