This property is over 5 acres and borders on two sides by a brook and Gammons Basin. It is extremely private and remote. There is a driveway and a clearing on which many types of berries grow. There is a cleared 5 minute trail to the oceanfront from the clearing. Not yet ready for a trailer, and vehicles will need to park in the driveway but the campsite is suitable for tents. The campsite is only a few minutes from Tor Bay Provincial Park and near the town of Larry’s River. Supplies in Guysborough, 20 mins away.

2.3 acres of woodlot at the end of the road. Very rustic. Ideal for campers and bicycle campers. Very few facilities but you can put up a tent and have a fire. It's super quiet and the only sound is the wind and the very occasional car (like one a day). Five minute walk to the ocean. 15 kms to the nearest store. I will be at my cabin but the property is large enuf for you to have total privacy if you want it. I can be reached by email at frederick.gardiner123abc@gmail.com. I'm located at the end of Richard's Pond Lane. To get here, go to South Side Road, South Side River Bourgeois. Turn right on Richard's Pond Lane and follow it to the end. Turn right, go to the first sign that says 7/8 and follow the path up to my cabin. There is red tuck tape to show the way. On the map, I am not The Cuffs, but the location is the same.
