Things to do at Scots Bay Provincial Park
- Scots Bay Beach Walk EasyRV parking available
Scots Bay Beach is a long cobble and sand shoreline on the Bay of Fundy known for dramatic tidal swings. Visitors walk the exposed beach at low tide to look for agates, jasper, and amethyst, a regional rockhounding tradition.
- Cape Split Hike ModerateRV parking available
The Cape Split trail begins a short drive from Scots Bay and leads to one of Nova Scotia's most iconic headland viewpoints. The round trip is roughly 13 km through mixed forest to open cliff meadows above the Minas Channel.
- Tidal Viewing on the Minas Channel EasyRV parking available
The park offers front-row views of some of the highest tides in the world. Checking a tide chart before visiting allows travelers to experience both the dramatic low-tide flats and the full high-tide shoreline in a single day.
- Rockhounding and Beachcombing EasyRV parking available
The Bay of Fundy shore near Scots Bay is well known for semi-precious stones and fossils exposed by the tides. Visitors should stay clear of unstable cliff bases and be aware of fast-returning tides.
- Blomidon Provincial Park Day Trip ModerateRV parking available
Blomidon Provincial Park sits just across the peninsula and offers cliff-top trails, a campground, and sweeping Fundy views. It is a natural pairing with a Scots Bay visit for RVers basing in the Annapolis Valley.

Tyler's camper trailer was exactly the thing we needed for a family reunion in Cape Breton. From the initial contact in May to the contract completion in July, Tyler was easy to work with and accommodating. The trailer with upgraded mattresses is very comfortable, roomy and is easy to put up and take down. I will definitely keep Tyler and his trailer in mind for any future reunions. Thank you Tyler for a great experience.

Tyler was the perfect RVezy host. He delivered and set up his tent trailer in my son's driveway so I could have a quiet place to retreat to and sleep. Thoroughly enjoyed my week in his trailer and would recommend him to anyone needing a tent trailer in Nova Scotia or beyond. thanks Tyler it was a pleasure to meet you.

What a treat! We had a great tour with the Scramper around Cape Breton - the kids and pooch had a blast! 10/10 will rent again!
Dan C. - Oct 2025
We rented the Scramper for a week, driving the entire perimeter of Nova Scotia. The RV was clean and stocked with basic utensils, cleaning supplies, towels, sheets, etc. The RV, itself, performed well, even on some very steep and narrow roads. Remember, you aren't driving a VW bug, so getting out of some narrow spaces and full parking lots can be a challenge, but the Scramper has a camera that engages when backing up, which helps immensely. Before taking off, Megan gave us a thorough tour. That, along with the clear written instruction booklet, made what at first seemed daunting actually quite easy to manage. Finally, we want to give a shout-out to Nova Scotia and their marvelous provincial parks. The Scramper and the provincial parks made for a lovely week.

How to get to Scots Bay Provincial Park
Scots Bay is reached via Route 358 north from Wolfville, about a 35 to 40 minute drive covering roughly 30 km through the Annapolis Valley farmland and up over the Blomidon ridge. From Halifax it is approximately 120 km, around a 1 hour 30 minute drive via Highway 101. RV drivers should note that the final stretch of Route 358 is narrow and winding with some steep grades as it climbs and descends the North Mountain, so large motorhomes and long trailers should proceed with caution. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
