The Vales

2 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents58 acres ¡ Pleasantville, NS
We own 58 acres of forest centered on a very old shale pit near Crescent Beach, Nova Scotia. Our long-term mission is to regenerate the landscape, returning all of the property to a forest in time. We hope to establish small camping compounds for family, friends and guests who would like to stay with us and enjoy the amazing scenery of Nova Scotia's beautiful South Shore. Located just below Huey Lake, our property is watered by a stream that flows from the lake, through a series of tiny waterfalls in a gorge, through beautiful pine, maple, and oak forest down to a meandering wetland that drains into the Petite Riviere watershed. Beavers are active in the area and have already begun the process of returning the old quarry to the wilderness. Their activities have created deep ponds where once there was a pit dug from the land for the shale that is abundant in this area. The beavers dammed and diverted the stream which has created a pond and wetland system at the lower end of the property. If you are very quiet in the early morning you may get to see Castor as he busily swims about his watery home. Located near some of the most beautiful features of Lunenburg County, our property is a 5-minute drive from Crescent Beach, Risser's Beach Provincial Park, and Petite Riviere. Opportunities to cycle, hike, swim, canoe, kayak, surf and sail are all around us.

The best camping near Cookville Provincial Park guide

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.
