Weekend Trip to Birkwood Camp

Had a great stay at Birkwood. The camp is as described in the listing. There’s a short hike to the tent from the parking spot. We’ll be back!

Wow! Double wow!! By far the best Hipcamp we’ve stayed at! Spacious private grassy sites with expansive views of the Bay of Fundy. The cleanest cutest pit toilet you will ever have the pleasure of visiting. Dan is a responsive and helpful host. Would like to have met the man who provides such a memorable experience for people he’s never met! You want to stay here, trust me!

Absolutely beautiful! What view! It's an off grid camping spot in the most beautiful area. There is an outhouse that was clean. Dan was quick to respond to any questions I had and check in to make sure I was okay or needed anything. That view though is everything. I would wake up looking out at that view everyday if I could. Also had 5g out there which was nice to still be connected. I will definitely be staying here again.

1 night at Glamping Dome Near Peggy’s Cove

The dome was beautiful! We had such a wonderful time. It was picturesque and peaceful. All amenities were as shown in the posting. It was clean and cosy. The sauna was a nice touch and easy to operate. Our hosts were on hand if we had any issues and their communication was brilliant. We loved our short stay and can't wait to go again!

4 nights at Fraserville Off-Grid Camping

A beautiful camp site. Perched in a field up on a hill side over looking the bay of fundy. A sweet spot. Very secluded. A 10 minute walk down to the beach where we had a nice walk at low tide. Chignecto Park in West Advocate was closed due to the drought so no hiking there. Otherwise though a great stay. Thank you!

This property is 100% worth going out of your way for! We spent two nights, and unfortunately there was a fire ban and cloudy sky’s that obstructed star gazing, but even then waking up to the view from campsite 1 is spectacular. I didn’t see campsite 3, but 1 and 2 are both amazing- was able to get level with blocks in 24 ft. rig. The place is well marked on the road and it looks like the driveway has been recently graded- easy in our vehicle. Dan was very responsive. Would absolutely return, and if it were campfire weather- I’d spend multiple days relaxing there for sure! There is a road down to the water and rocky beach where you can watch the amazing tides roll out. If you’re on an open journey- worth spending some time in this spot and area.

Weekend Trip to Glamping Dome Near Peggy’s Cove

We had a wonderful stay st the Dome in the woods. It was such a beautiful and relaxing space. We were so excited that the space was dog friendly. The hosts thought of every detail including supplies to make our pupper comfortable! The location is fantastic with Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, and Halifax all driable within 20min-1hour.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Breezy Petals. The dome was lovely - spacious, comfortable (especially during the much-needed rainstorm), and had everything we needed. Yun is an incredible host - we loved every minute.

2 nights at Breezy Petals Camping Resort

This was my first attempt at camping out with my own tent while roadtripping to Nova Scotia. It was a good experience! Shower and toilet was available, and it was a regular flush, surprisingly. Unfortunetaly for my 3-person tent, the nails cannot go through the wooden platform, so I installed it on the side. If you're Glamping or using the already available tents on-site, it might be a better experience due to bugs, since this has 2 ponds around. Overall, for a first time, I was satisfied! I just hope that the "Bois Road" that takes you to there ends up soon being paved, because that is one dusty unpaved road. At least the site is distant from it, so it's no problem!

Weekend Trip to Fraserville Off-Grid Camping

Dan was a kind and thoughtful host who helped to adjust plans due to restrictions in place for wildfire prevention. We landed on site 1 and holy moly. The views were incredible. We happened to have very clear weather but the dark starry sky and full bay view with coffee were big memories. The fire pit, table and bench and outhouse were such nice luxuries.

2 nights at Natura Wilderness Resort

Our stay at the Natura Wilderness was amazing. Private, cute, and very well-maintained. The propane stove, shower, and toilet all worked great! The location is close to a provincial park and gas station / coffee spot. Not far from Windsor. It was the perfect place for us. We would definitely recommend!

Yurt Nestled in Nature on Community

97%

(19)

71km from Lumsden Pond Provincial Park · 1 site · Lodging · East Hants, NS

Nestled in the trees on a large deck with the sounds of birds and squirrels all around, this unique structure spans 15 ft across with 14 triangular sides. It holds a double bed, dinning table, rocking chair, 3 burner stove, sink with water, full kitchenette and all the cooking utensils you need. The wood stove keeps the space very warm and cozy and we offer professional massage and reiki. You can walk, ski or bike for hours along a river. Or visit towering gypsum cliffs that host huge bat caves.. Our yurt is tucked away in the trees of our 20 acre wood lot. We provide lots of wood and fire starter for the wood stove but guests should have experience with wood stoves (or be really keen to learn). The stove is big enough to easily heat the whole yurt to cozy comfort but guests should expect to have to keep the stove going in order to keep the space warm and this may mean stoking it once in the night. We provide lots of extra blankets and two pairs of extra slippers for those who forget to bring their own. The solar panel creates enough power to run the lights, charge a cell phone and sometimes a computer but not much more. The space is beautiful, unique and quite dreamy but it is rustic. There is a composting toilet next to the yurt (with hand sanitizer but no sink) and outdoor showers (with hot water) near our farm house. There is a three burner propane cook stove, cooking and dining wares and a small sink for dishes. There are all the utensils that you may need to cook for yourself but there is limited counter space so cooking elaborate meals is possible but could be cumbersome. There is a cooler and we can stock it with ice packs upon request. We supply coffee and a french press,. We also offer massage and reiki to guests for $90 (60 min). Morghain Lee is a massage therapist and Reiki Master and enjoys blending these two body therapies for a holistic healing experience. There is an outdoor fire pit and star gazing chairs. We ask that you only use natural soaps in the shower, the sink, pond or river. We have some Dr Bronners if you like:) Cell reception on the land depends on the provider but most people have weak service (one or two bars). Enough to maintain a phone connection (if you are not walking around too much) but not enough to download videos. Some people have more or less. We do allow pets but we ask for an extra $15 contribution to compensate for the extra cleaning. We also ask that dogs not be on the bed and that they don't chase our chickens or kittens. There are outdoor showers available in spring, summer and fall when the pipes won't freeze. For those wanting to stay for longer periods in the winter we can discuss usage of the shower in our house.

Our open-air yoga deck hosts occasional classes and retreats that celebrate movement, mindfulness, and nature. You may find yourself here during a pop-up artisan market, a seasonal music night, or one of our community-focused wellness events. We host a wide variety of offerings throughout the year—from forest school programs and postpartum circles to folk music gatherings and farm-to-table dinners. While events vary by season, the atmosphere is always warm, welcoming, and rooted in intention. Sustainable Hill uses composting toilets, and natural building techniques to support a low-impact, mindful way of living. We invite you to unplug and tune into the rhythm of the land. Whether you’re seeking stillness, connection, or a taste of rural life, Sustainable Hill is more than a place to camp—it’s a space to reconnect, reflect, and feel at home in nature.

Overview

About

Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Lumsden Pond Provincial Park. Here, you can escape the summer heat with a refreshing swim in the unsupervised pond or paddle through the vibrant autumnal display in a canoe or kayak. As the leaves transform into a spectacle of color, the pond becomes a mirror reflecting the fiery hues of the hardwoods that surround it. Venture near the dam and sluice, where the interplay of nature and human engineering creates a unique backdrop for your adventures.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Lumsden Pond Provincial Park is during the late summer and early autumn months. This period offers a perfect blend of warm days suitable for swimming and the start of the spectacular leaf show. Winter can be harsh, and the park's accessibility may vary, so it's best to avoid the coldest months when planning your visit.

Know before you go

Ensure you have proper safety gear when swimming or boating, as the pond is unsupervised.
Check for any seasonal closures or accessibility issues before your trip.
While exploring, respect the natural habitat and maintain cleanliness.
Be prepared for varying temperatures, especially if you plan to stay from day to evening.
Remember, there are no lifeguards on duty, so swim with caution.
