FORT NOVA

100%
(38)
24km from Port L’Hebert 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.

Ethos Eco Retreat

100%
(1)
26km from Port L’Hebert Provincial Park · 1 site · Lodging · Shelburne, NS
Ethos Eco Retreat is a Geodesic Dome within the forests of Nova Scotia’s South Shore, with ocean views and the intention to create a relationship between us and nature. It is a place to leave the ‘busy’ behind. To slow, re-ground, and connect - heart, body and spirit. Ethos is a place ruled by the moon and the seasons - and time does not exist here, as we know it in our normal day to day. You set the pace here. With the intention of having all your senses awakened while falling in synch with the pulse of the nature around you, minimalist luxury is the caveat. You will have the best of everything you need, and nothing of what you do not. We designed the dome to be a container that offers an opportunity to experience all four elements - earth, wind, fire and water - within the sacred geometry of the dome’s structure. Loading the wood burning fireplace while the vintage claw foot tub fills with hot water may become your ritual, while the wind moving through the trees, and the waves reaching the shore, your meditation. The ocean is only a short walk down a winding forest path, and is often best enjoyed with a hot cappuccino or loose leaf tea. Every item, from the organic Egyptian cotton and Flax linen bedding on the king size bed, to the organic wild harvested body/bath products and local fresh roasted coffee, has been intentionally chosen for their love of people and planet. Transparency is everything.

Private River Camping for Vanlife

100%
(1)
27km from Port L’Hebert 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.

The best camping in Port L’Hebert Provincial Park, NS guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through Port L’Hebert Provincial Park, where a 2.1 km looped trail invites you to explore the remnants of ancient glaciers. Wander amid hardwood forests and colossal granite boulders, and be rewarded with stunning coastal views. Adjacent to a federal migratory bird sanctuary, this park offers a serene escape into nature's embrace, just a stone's throw from the vibrant ecosystems of Thomas Raddall Provincial Park and Kejimkujik National Park Seaside Adjunct.

When to go

The best time to visit Port L’Hebert Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the trail is most accessible and the coastal views are at their most splendid. Winter visits can be challenging due to snow and ice, but offer a serene, frosty landscape for the well-prepared adventurer.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have appropriate footwear for hiking over uneven terrain and granite boulders.
  • Bring binoculars to enhance your bird-watching experience in the adjacent migratory bird sanctuary.
  • Check the local weather and trail conditions before your visit to avoid any unexpected closures.
  • While there are no camping facilities, day-trippers can fully enjoy the park's natural offerings.
  • Remember to carry out all trash and respect the natural habitat of the wildlife.
