This spot is beautiful, clean, and just what you need for a camping experience. We stayed in the A-frame cabin, which was lovely! You may want to bring your own bedding and pillows (although they did provide linens, pillows, and blankets), for extra comfort. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the location is gorgeous! Thanks for a relaxing stay!

We showed up to find that they did not receive our reservation from Expedia. They were booked solid so the owner called other customers who had yet to arrive and Somehow managed to accommodate us in a cabin. Nice little cabin with a water view. Very Quiet location.

Had a lovely 2 night stay in one of the Riverview retreat cabins. The cabin was cozy and clean, and came with a BBQ on the deck for any cooking needs. Will be back in the warmer weather!

This place is fabulous!! Located right on the river, charming and wonderful owners! I was running late and called to say that I couldn't make it inside check in hours. Cathie, one of the owners was super friendly and was waiting for me when I arrived. I stayed in a dome which was beautifully decorated with lovely furniture and drapes,and outfitted with everything I needed – a mini fridge, a microwave, coffee maker, dishes. A nice touch was a soft electric blanket on top of a very comfortable bed. I will definitely recommend this place and come back again!

Loved the quiet atmosphere. The different sleeping options they had to offer. Beautiful scenery. Great care takers. Patrick and Cathy are awesome host. The place offers plenty to do, from nature walks, canoe rides, biking, swimming in the river and beautiful nature all around. Highly recommended. Great pricing.

The cabin had everything we needed; small fridge, coffee maker, heater, and a fan. There was a fire pit and some chairs, as well as wood for purchase. The kindling was a bit large (we didnt have an axe) but we were able to make a nice fire regardless. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Very affordable pricing as well!

This was one of our most enjoyable places we have stayed. The pics on the site dont show how cozy the cabins really are. Very nice place to stay. Watching the tide enter and exit the river,the stripped bass breaking the surface. Very nice view. The hosts there are absolutely amazing!!! Very friendy and accommodating. There is also basic necessities at the office to purchase.also kayak and canoe rentals. A must go to place. We are definately going back!!

This property is in the most beautiful spot, right on the estuary river, watching tide go up n down. Very clean. Staff very helpful. Ice available on site. We had deluxe cabin, it was so comfy for 3 people.Bathrooms are shared as in any campsite, kept very clean. Flush toilet, sinks and showers..i would love to stay longer. Definetly a sweet spot.

It was very nice and quiet was a little disappointing at first as the ad didn’t state there was two lofts the one I booked we didn’t get, but the loft with cottage the second one we got, the view was excellent and we loved it. Just wish the ad stated both is all. But definitely loved the stay the management and customer service is excellent! Very nice camping ground !

8/10 Very good

Overall, the owners were very nice and so were other people staying. The cabins were a great overall option to tenting, but if you have kids afraid of bugs, you should probably look at a hotel or an inn elsewhere. Honestly, for what it was, the price was a little high in comparison to orher accomodations in motels with AC and full service, but i crack that to the demand due to Warf Rat Rally. Ill definitely consider it for next year.

We did not get the cottage we booked via Expedia. The owner explained the she didn’t get notice. She was really nice and gave us one obviously not ready for living yet: the door cannot lock and with holes, worms on the bed … The owner did provide sheet etc. that was really good since we didn’t know. Not sure who to blame? Expedia?

We were expecting to have a bathroom in our cabin but the showers and bathrooms are shared on the property in a separate building. Also, the neighbors next to the property had dogs barking all night long, was hard to fall asleep. Other than that the service was really good, but we did have to pay extra to use the bbq.

This is an interesting overnight stop. Bearing in mind, the theme is based on 'campng', there are no usual amenities such as luxury bedding. No water in the room. no in room bathing or toilet facilities. However, if you arrive with the right mindset, you will enjoy the location and views. Just bring your own soap and other luxuries

We stayed in an A frame which was not on the water. The building did not look like the pictures in the booking. The cabin was clean with a bed that we brought sheets for. There was a blanket. No frig. there was a microwave. There were yurts with decks on the river's edge. Since we were away from the water, we walked over to a yurt that was being assembled and sat on that deck to watch the reversing tide on Bear River. Drove a short distance to Digby for scallops and fish and chips. Very good.
