I love Nova Scotia!

[boubou]

Stayed 5 nights in Parsborro Nova Scotia and loves it! Facing the bay of Fundy where we walked the digs each day. We then spent 5 nights in PEI but (no offence), prefer Nova Scotia.

Any more good camping spots?

While in NS you should visit Cape Breton Island. The KOA at the foot of Kelly's Mountain is a great place to stay. It is located in a central location and is a great base camp while touring the Island. The campground overlooks the water and is beside the Seal Island bridge.

I'll post some pictures after my weekend at Rissers Beach Campground near Bridgewater, NS. This is a Provincial park ( no Services) that is usually booked everday, all summer. I have a site next to the beach. hoping for fine weather.

This is the site I have booked. More pics to follow.

Gawd, where do i start?

I'm a Bluenoser myself so pardon my enthusiasm!



You can pretty much do it by the "routes".

Cabot trial is beautiful. Rings Cape breton. Check out hte bras dour lakes, alexander graham bell museum for the worlds first hydrofoil (and other stuff), the highlands (time it right for highland games), Ft Louisberg, fantastic views and beaches and much much more.

Lighthouse route, Mahone bay, Lunenberg, etc.....

Evangaline trail runs you through the heart of Annapolis valley. Apple blossom festival, tidal bores, whale watching, Annapolis royal fort, acadian festivals, the Spitfire pub, Sam Slicks house, Uniack house, Upper clements park, Kejumikujick Provincial park, Anywhere on the bay of fundy and so much more....

The ovens, sipping microbreweries by the harbour in yarmouth, the silver fox truck stop, Shubinacadie wildlife park, the white sands of Queensland beach, lakes and rivers and fishing everywhere, canoeing, hiking, and on and on and on....

Halifax is a full vacation tour all in itself. Historic properties, teh bluenoose tours, for york redoubt, McNabs island, Citadel Hill, dinner theaters, it just goes on forever.

And I haven't even scratched the surface here.

So much to see and do, so little time.......

Canada's Ocean Playground" is probably the best place to live on this muddy round ball and I'm in the military. I've been all over the world so I've got just the tiniest bit of "perspective" on the issue.

Gawd I miss my home.......I will return to stay, someday...

I'm very fortunate to get to see the beautiful view that boubou posted every day right from my front yard as my house is up on a hill facing the same bay (but on the other side facing Parsborro).Some night I will get my wife to post a picture of the terrific sunsets we get to see.Yes I prefer NS as well.

It has been a very long time but I seem to recall that the Annapolis Valley was a really beautiful spot.
So much country - so little time..

I also am a Bluenoser. As stated the province is divided up into many routes. They all have their own scenery and points of interest but I am partial to Cape Breton Island. There are so many places to see and things to do. It cannot be done in one trip. If you go to Glace Bay during the summer and visit the miners museum you can purchase tickets to see the Men of the Deeps practice.

FYI, stay away from the Sunrise Trail on the Northumberland Strait, it has to be one of the worst roads I've ever towed a trailer on. I drive like a little old lady and we still had a dozen eggs flipped in the fridge, spilled milk and 5 brokens cups. We have a rear kitchen but never had a problem like this.

thank you all for the replies, I will save these for next year's trip. Wish we had stayed longer. Love it!
