Driftwood by the Bay
From April 1 to December 1
Looking to experience something a little different on your next overnight stay that allows you to be in nature, to stargaze, and to feel like you are camping… but without setting up the tent and all the camping equipment? Glamping has become a popular way to “camp” without the traditional sleeping-on-the-ground and BYOT (bring your own tent) camping adventure that we all know and love.
From year-round geodesic domes, tiny homes and yurts that are glammed up with all the comforts of home (and some with added extras such as hot tubs and saunas) to the more “seasonally exclusive stays” in cozy bell tents, domes, canvas cabins and oTENTik accommodations for those who prefer to embrace the more traditional camping aspect of glamourous camping, discover some of the places offering glamping options in Nova Scotia, below!
Offering boutique, upscale camping experiences in luxury canvas bell tents that can be set up at partner campgrounds throughout Nova Scotia OR in your very own backyard, East Coast Glamping can help you create your perfect glamping getaway or celebration package.
Relax, surrounded by the peaceful forest and river in the yurt at Tusket River Retreats, take in the incredible sunsets over the Bay of Fundy from your shoreline dome at Driftwood by the Bay, or stargaze while staying in a sky bubble at the Deep Sky Eye Observatory.
From April 1 to December 1

Choose between a quiet lakeside retreat such as Blysteiner Lake Dome or the glomes at White Point Beach Resort or the fresh ocean breeze from your private island glamping dome or canvas tent at Nova Glamping or Gifford Island, there is a glamping experience awaiting!
Relaxation is key when on a glamping adventure and you have plenty of choices in this region. Witness the world’s highest tidal range from Gravity Luxury Domes, Sissiboo River Retreat, Local Guy Adventures Wooden Tents, and Port Wade Glamping Domes. Surround yourself with nature when you stay at Valley Sky Glamping, SEEK Wilderness Accommodations, NATURA Wilderness Resort or stay in an Ôasis or oTENTik accommodation in Kejimkujik or an oTENTik at Grand-Pré National Historic Site.
