We enjoyed camping at surfers shade. The site has been created with so much love and offers all you need with an RV. This site is quiet and still just 20 min from Halifax away. From here u can explore lots of nice places within no time. It’s a must go if u want to start to explore NS. Even better is the hospitality of the host. I recommend that you experience it yourself. I guarantee you will not regret it

What an incredible trip we had at surfer shade! Private, cozy, large, useful, nice and the best spot to stay and chill during a trip to Nova Scotia! Surfer shade is perfect camper/rv and tents. It’s a large private cozy place. There’s electricity and water. About the host, what a nice guy! Sam is super friendly and chill. He gave us many surf and skate advices🏄♀️. It was super nice to chill around the fire and playing guitar, Sam has some serious guitar skills ask him to show you hehe!
10/10 for Surfer Shade! Thanks a lot Sam🤙🏼

Sam was an excellent host, very accommodating. He was super concerned about our comfort, and enjoyment. Thank you for that. Keep in mind the spot is in a residential area, but that is to be expected being so close to halifax. Super wonderful time. And could stories shared a put surfing.

Super cool spot 👌

Sam was a fantastic host, willing to go the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. He glady helped us set up, by providing power and water. There was a cool picnic area and bbq. The fire pit area was lit too, sharp spot.
We also had the opportunity to go visit halifax as we were super close to the city. Great spot, thanks Sam.
