We are from Florida and took a trip last summer with the kids to Nova Scotia. Highly recommend this trip! We stopped in Boston on the way there and Philadelphia on the way home for a little history. We absolutely loved the Maine coast (especially Bar Harbor). We took the ferry from Portland, Maine to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and on the return trip went from Yarmouth to Bar Harbor. The ferry was very expensive with a 42' RV towing a Jeep, but quicker than driving around. We stayed at a pretty little campground right on the Bay of Fundy in Parker's Cove, Nova Scotia. The campground was called "The Cove" and every site overlooks the Bay with it's massive tides. Very pretty quaint towns all around. Would have loved to go to the northern part of Nova Scotia and drive the Cabot Trail, but time didn't allow. Maybe next time! Also went whale watching from Brier Island. The worst part of the whole trip was getting through the NJ/NY area. If you can find a way around instead of direct route, I would recommend it! Friends of ours that we met along the way spent some time in New Hampshire and said it was beautiful.
