Rest Ashore

Seaside Camping & Accommodation Rentals
 

Nestled on the Acadian shores of La Baie Sainte-Marie
St. Mary's Bay, Municipality of Clare,
Digby County, Nova Scotia

Welcome!

Whether you are new to camping or a seasoned RV'er, if the idea of a small-scale campground is appealing, please read on.

We are delighted to introduce Rest Ashore Seaside Camping, which was built from the ground up and opened in mid-summer 2022. Nestled on seven acres and close to all amenities of The French Shore in the southwest region of Nova Scotia, it is a quaint spot where you can experience the calm and grounding that comes from the salty shores of Baie Ste. Marie.

We offer a range of accommodation options, including fully serviced RV sites, clean and well-appointed oceanfront vacation rentals, and additional grass sites for tenting and dry camping. All sites offer a stunning seaside view and a path to the crisp salt water, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.

We invite you to come and enjoy the tranquility of our campground and the breathtaking scenery that surrounds it.
