1 NOVA SCOTIA RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS RECOMMENDED BY THE NRVOA

2 Nova Scotia Nova Scotia seems to precariously hang off the mainland by a narrow isthmus. It is therefore understandably celebrated for its watery wonders. The residents of Nova Scotia are justly proud of their miles upon miles of beautiful, sandy coast and many lakes and rivers. Sampling some of the delicious sea produce is a must, from the ubiquitous lobster (Nova Scotia is among the world's largest lobster exporters) to fresh scallops from Digby. If you prefer to look at marine life rather than eat it, what can be more relaxing than watching whales gracefully cruising off the coast? If you want to actually get in the water, Nova Scotia is also hugely popular when it comes to canoeing and kayaking. The Scots were, arguably, the first European settlers in this province, hence the proud Latin name, Nova Scotia, translating as New Scotland'. Nova Scotia is also awash with French and English settlers but it is perhaps the Scottish influence that really sticks in your mind as you wander over conifer-covered highlands and stumble across a kilt-clad man playing the bagpipes. In what is a mostly rural province, visitors are always spoiled, whether by the gorgeous scenery or the friendly welcome. Notable Attractions The Citadel Memory Lane Heritage Museum Maritime Museum of the Atlantic Whale Watching Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site...And Much More!
