Hilltop Glamping Near Halifax, Bay of Fundy | Sunset Views + Open-air Shower
Welcome to our hilltop glamping tent, tucked into the woods of central Nova Scotia and just 45 minutes from Halifax. Set on an open rise, this private site offers sweeping sunset views, fresh air, and a peaceful, nature-based stay with space to truly unwind.
Guests enjoy a fully private setup, with generous distance between tents—something that sets us apart. Your site includes a spacious furnished tent with a real queen bed (linens and towels included), seating area, and dining space, along with your own deck for cooking and relaxing outdoors.
Just steps from the tent, you’ll find your private washroom setup: a flush toilet in an outhouse-style building and a unique open-air shower in an enclosed stall. Everything is close and easy to access, while still giving you the feeling of being immersed in nature.
From your hilltop perch, take in golden-hour sunsets and quiet forest surroundings. The property offers a short woodland trail, barnyard animals, and open spaces to explore. You’re also centrally located for day trips to the Bay of Fundy, the Annapolis Valley, wineries, beaches, and scenic coastal drives.
The space is designed for comfort without losing the simplicity of an outdoor experience. It’s ideal for couples or small groups looking to slow down—morning coffee on the deck, afternoons exploring, and evenings by the fire.
Each stay includes 2 adults. The tent can accommodate up to 4 guests with the addition of cots (extra fee). Each site has its own dedicated parking space for convenience.
This is a quiet, nature-focused stay and is best suited for guests who appreciate a peaceful environment. It is not suitable for parties or loud gatherings.
If you’re looking for a Nova Scotia glamping experience with privacy, sunset views, and easy access to some of the province’s best day trips, Apple Tent offers a relaxed and memorable escape.
