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.

Fantastic Stay
Reggie was a fantastic host. He was not able to be there upon our arrival, so he sent us detailed instructions beforehand, including a picture showing the layout. The parking area was level and offered a beautiful view of the ocean. A bonus highlight was the fish and chips from across the street at Oasis...The best we've ever had. Don't let an opportunity to stay here go by.

Reggie is super welcoming and enthusiastic- for good reason! He shares with us a fantastic emerald forest! Fort Nova is magical for a nature nerd like myself, berry picking, bird watching, fungi galore, and the night skies-OMG. Plush mossy trails within thick forest and miles of old rail trails nearby, this awesome spot was my home base for two weeks while I explored the province. Oh, and great neighbors plus the ocean across the street. Just wow. I loved every bit. Would definitely return, and absolutely recommend.

Cool place to stay, really beautiful walk to the lake and scenery. Reggie was great to deal with and really accommodating and generous with the space. Fish and Chips are right across the road as well!

Lively p lace e to camp and explore the southern shores. Very quiet and dark at night. Slept like a baby.

Not what I expected, but Reggie responded well. Work was being done so the back part of the property wasn't accessible, meaning I was parked next to the garage and could clearly see the neighbors across the road. The plumbing wasn't working. Hopefully, by the time you arrive, the back will be open again. Reggie is super communicative, which is helpful. It still ranks among some of the better spots I've been to. I would stay more than the one night I did.
