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. 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, makes her home in the driveway, but of course. She's worth a visit! - TENT ADVANCED LEVEL LAKESIDE is by far the most beautiful, however it is a small area, and on the edge of the property and I can't be responsible for neighbours to a point. Learn more about this land: Fort Nova is your home for as long as you choose. Let's get campy! You can pick from the lawn, living amongst the pines, a forrest clearing, or even the lake side peninsula. Complete privacy, and y'all can hit me up in the house if you need anything. On the property there is: - A decent sized lake - 1700's abandon bridge - Lots of foraging So many things 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) - Rail Trail (runs through the property) - Provincial Parks - Boxing Rock Brewing Co.

Quiet night in East Jordan

The property was well kept with with well marked nature trails. The modest outdoor furniture was inviting. Access to indoor plumbing was as described. We did not use the rustic kitchen. We found a level spot.

cool spot on 1850's ocean property.

Reginald was a colorful and gracious host who has an 1850 house on 127 acres. The empty house is under renovation and the bathroom and kitchen are open to campers. Lots of options on where on property to camp- ocean view, large lawn, woods. Yard is a bit lumpy so take your time to find the spot for you. Mosquitos were bad the night we were there but probably depends on how much wind there is. We were able to back up our trailer to use the electrical outlet on the house.

Reginald is the top attraction....Very friendly and helpful (checked me in 3 hours early, got my groceries when he went to the supermarket, entertaining chats). Close to a walk along a disused rail line. Relaxed stay. Only downside was the mosquitoes, but not sure we can blame Reg for those

Happy Campers

Reggie’s property is beautiful and he takes good care of it. We parked our fifth wheel near some apple trees and stayed one week. We hiked the trails he made through his fOrest to a stream and pond. His directions are thorough. Location is great for touring Shelburne, Lockeport and the many beaches of the south shore. Reggie was most welcoming and accommodating. Communication was swift and easy. We enjoyed the site for camping and Reggie even more. Highly recommended!

Reggie greeted us enthusiastically and we went about finding the most level spot in the yard. His camp was easy to find and located right across the st from a terrific little takeout restaurant. The host shared his knowledge of the area and we had a great conversation. Reggie was very friendly and a lovely host! Don’t hesitate to use this hip camp the beaver dam alone is worth the visit!
