This is a sweet little property of approximately an acre, though the whole lake is undeveloped. The site is treed with mostly mature trees and overlooks Little Robertson Lake. The lake is close, but the shoreline is not extremely easy to access. This campsite is private, but not remote. It is located close to a byway and you can drive in. There is not too much traffic on the adjacent road which leads to several white sand ocean beaches and trails along with Keji Seaside National Park and Thomas Raddall Provincial Park. All within a few minutes drive.

This land was farmed by the Crooks family, one of the original Tancook families, going back to 1865. Crooks Hill grew cabbage to be made into sauerkraut - one of the main exports of Tancook Island! Now, it's home to our family and livestock.
Come camp on our farm - hang out with the critters and maybe learn a 'granny skill' or two! We're located on a beautiful historic lobster fishing island, right next to the ocean. Unparalleled night skies. Local cafe with amazing (and reasonably priced) food. Post office, Wishing Stones gallery and meeting spot, South Cove Small Goods for snacks and unique finds, Toast Cafe at the community recreation centre, Southeast Cove beach and sand flats (when tide is out). Arrive by ferry from Chester, bring your bikes and tenting gear. Expect to enjoy fresh farm eggs and whatever herbs and veg in the garden, pet the goats and sheep, and watch the animal antics of a small working farm. Island tours available with South Cove Experiences plus small goods shop with pantry and takeaway lunch for your daily exploration.
As your host is a bread-baker and fibre arts instructor, you can book a lesson to learn knitting, wool-spinning, felting, make an embroidered patch as a memento or just hang out and have your own creative getaway. Our lot is open, and while we recommend a camping spot on the flatter spots, there are a few spaces on our hill that give a wonderful view of the night sky and ocean in the daytime.

Our suites are minimally designed, but boast maximum comfort. We have curated tiny home suites nestled in the forest to allow you to escape from the bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the beauty of Nova Scotia, without having to worry about the details. Our kitchenettes are equipped with everything you may need for cooking in, including a coffee and tea nook, of course!
Our Story
The inspiration behind the name - Dordéan - is Mackenzie Joy, daughter of owners Shawn and Renena Joy. "Dordéan" is Irish for hummingbird, a nod to the family's Irish Newfoundland roots. Hummingbirds are mighty, little birds, known for their cheerful disposition and zest for life. They symbolize beauty, playfulness, grace and resilience. Much like hummingbirds, Mackenzie is small but mighty; a powerhouse in her own right. She is one of the happiest, kindest and most generous people you will ever meet. Despite her many challenges, she faces each day with strength, determination, persistence and resilience. As the saying goes "Good things come in small packages," Hummingbirds are tiny birds that pack a punch well beyond their size, serving as a reminder that one person can make a big impact on the lives of others and their community.

We were honored to be Kathleen's first official guests! This is an amazing location, basically right in Lunenburg, which meant we could stay out late and hit the town early.

We had a very nice 2 day stay at this campground. We have 2 dogs and it is great to have the single camp site so as not to have to worry about neighboring campers with dogs as well.
The campground itself is very easy to get to in any kind of car, nice and clear/flat space to set up a tent but with a lot mature deciduous trees interspersed providing very significant shade cover during the day (nice and cool wven when really hot)
If you're looking for a bit of a walk you can get into rails to trails
The one adjustment that we had to make was regarding the proximity of the site to the road. While it is definitely far enough back from the road to feel private in terms of visibility, it is close enough that you hear the cars driving by, and it is a medium-busy road. So it is just good to be aware of that variable, and personal preference whether this would bother you or not. I was quite aware of it on arrival the first afternoon/evening but by the second day/night I had adjusted.
And with really only this one consideration, it seems very fair for the price!

We have done a lot of camping with our kids. We first discovered this spot last fall and swore we’d be back in the warmer months to enjoy the lake more. This was one of our favourite camping trips to date. The location is amazing. The facilities are fantastic. It’s clean, organized, has SOOO much included for enjoying the water. Kayaks, paddle boards, canoe, and even has waterproof phones cases. Our kids (and dog) thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the trip. We spent hours on, and in, the lake. The shaded area of the camp site was perfect for the heat wave, as was the lake!

Overview
About
Fort Sainte Marie de Grace National Historic Site is strategically located at LaHave, Nova Scotia, on a point of land where the LaHave River narrows. The land upon which the original fort was built has now eroded away; a Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada cairn, which marks the site, is situated near the original location of the fort. Official recognition refers to the small plot of land approximately equivalent to the footprint of the cairn. For more information, visit HistoricPlaces.ca.
When to go
The best time to visit Fort Sainte Marie de Grace National Historic Site is during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities. Winter visits offer a stark, beautiful landscape, but be prepared for chilly conditions and limited access to some areas of the site.
Know before you go
- Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Grounds are open year-round, but accessibility may vary depending on the season.
- Wear appropriate footwear for walking on uneven terrain as you explore the historic grounds.
- For inquiries or more information, contact the site at 902-426-5080.
