Southeastern Coast, Nova Scotia


We left Caribou PP on Labor Day, having spent 11 delightful nights there. We got all hooked up before it started to rain and were rained on all day until we arrived at Thomas Raddall Provincial Park. The roads are good here and it was easy to do the speed limit (100KPH) with our rig.

Thomas Raddall is located on the south east coast of NS. This coast is rugged, with many harbors and lighthouses. Every harbor seems to have its own lobster fleet and brewery, so we like it fine. On our first night at Thomas Riddall, we had only one other camper in the place. It has 82 camp sites.

We spent our free day driving the coast trail, with its many quaint villages and light houses. We had sunshine the entire day, which is getting increasingly rare. Tuesday night it rained off and on.

On Wednesday we took off for Yarmouth, the largest town on the south coast of Nova Scotia. We stayed in a nice private campground just north of the town. The road in front of the campground was being worked on and provided some challenging driving. There was no more than 1 foot on either side of the RV, with a 3 foot deep ditch on one side and a four foot deep trench in the road. But we made it.
