The Sullivan's Crossing location
The Harold T. Barrett Fun Forest Camp on Beaver Bank Lake served as the Sullivan's Crossing campground.
Established in 2000, this Scouts Canada–operated facility sits on a 5-acre property located roughly 16 miles (25 km) north of downtown Halifax.
The camp is currently not open to the public, providing plenty of space for filming.
Sully's gorgeous house is on Five Islands Lake in Hubley, located about 9 miles (15 km) west of downtown Halifax.

The bar where Cal gets punched in the face by Andrew after a poker game (season 1, episode 7) is called Boondocks Restaurant and is situated at the Government Wharf Road in Eastern Passage. The same place where Rafe took Sydney for a motorcycle ride.
