Fraserville Off-Grid Camping in Advocate Harbor, Nova Scotia, has been named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2025, earning recognition both nationally and within the province.
The 400-acre property overlooks the Bay of Fundy and offers an off-grid experience across three distinct sites for RVs and tents.
The first campsite, situated across the road from the bay, accommodates tents and RVs up to 45 feet long. The site provides views of the water and rolling hills and allows visitors to walk easily to the beach or nearby attractions such as Cape d’Or.
Campfires are permitted, and firewood is supplied. There is an outhouse available, but the site operates without hookups or generator use, reinforcing the property’s off-grid nature.
Nearby, guests can explore coastal communities like Advocate Harbor and Parrsboro, which offer local dining options, or travel west to Cape Chignecto Provincial Park for hiking and sea views.
The second campsite, located on a hill with views of Spencers Island to the west and Cape Split to the east, is designed for smaller vehicles under seven meters.
It allows certain RV types, campervans, and cars, but excludes larger models such as fifth wheels and Class A RVs. Generators are generally not allowed, though the host may permit the use of a small, quiet one upon request. The site has an outhouse and picnic table but no water, showers, or Wi-Fi access.
The third campsite caters to more adventurous guests, located two kilometers into the woods on a bluff overlooking the bay. Access requires a 4×4 or all-wheel-drive vehicle, as the approach includes steep hills.
The site is suited for tents, campervans, or small trailers and can accommodate up to six people. It includes an outhouse, picnic table, fire pit, and provided firewood.
For outdoor hospitality operators, Fraserville Off-Grid Camping reflects a growing traveler interest in minimal-impact, back-to-nature experiences.
The park’s recognition by Hipcamp highlights how off-grid operations—those with limited amenities but strong environmental positioning—can attract modern campers seeking authenticity and solitude.
This trend may present new opportunities for park owners to explore low-infrastructure, high-value experiences, particularly in scenic rural locations.
