Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, and Acadia NP

By Jeffrey Lee 

p1010681The Camp Westfalia crew recently completed a 4-week, 6000-mile roundtrip tour in our 1983 Vanagon Westfalia, tracing the northern shore of the St. Lawrence Seaway eastward from Wisconsin through Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia  to the Atlantic, then returning home along the south bank of the Seaway.

Highlights include: Montreal, Cape Breton Island, Bay of Fundy, Acadia National Park, New Hampshire’s White Mountains, Niagara Falls, and more.

Here are a few photos & video clips to inspire your own Vanagon journeys, and check out the full trip report here!


A cliffside campsite overlooking Meat Cove, the northernmost road on Cape Breton Island, is the perfect place to witness one of the first sunrises on North America each day.

The Bay of Fundy is known for its extreme tidal ranges, rising and falling as much as 53 feet twice each day. But the effects are not confined to the ocean beaches, as can be seen in this salt marsh behind our campsite.

This time-lapse video was shot over a period of about three hours.

    Awesome photo composition! Awesome scenery!

    As you were being dragged around the countryside in the backseat of either the 71 Chevelle or 78 Chevette, little did I know you were becoming addicted. But, I am glad you were.

    So few folks I know ever wander outside city limits. Go guys!

      Yes, those childhood road trips certainly put the “travellin’ jones” in my blood. Thanks for that.
