The campground itself is rather simple and plain. The facilities are clean, the sites adequate. It's not particularly cheap especially considering that you have to ante up 8.00 per night/person for staying in the park. This aside you're paying for the privilege of staying in one of North Americas most unique sites. Both the interpretive center and its programs and the information center are extensive and provide an unusual value added. Located on the most scenic section of the Cabot Trail, breathtaking scenery, views of flora and fauna and spectacular hikes are readily at hand. Several of the best trails start right at the campground. 10 miles down the Cabot trail, the Skyline trail traces the top of a ridge overlooking the Gulf of St. Lawrence. As advertised we saw plenty of Moose and whales. The town of Cheticamp is charming and has much better facilities and attractions than say - Ingonish. There are a number of wi-fi hot spots in town so communications isn't as limited as it might seem. To me this has to be the premier destination on Cape Breton Island. We will return We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great location if you want to be in the park. The park was very quiet. The office described our site as pull through but it was not. The RV sites with full hook up face the huge maintenance facility for the Cape Breton park. Not the best of views. The hiking nearby was very good. Overall a very peaceful place and we would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Compared to other National Parks in the region (Fundy or Keji), this is the least appealing in terms of lot size, age of facilities. Check in early since you might need to change site, we were originally assigned site 32 but it was terrible, got a new site no problem. The key is early to beat out the crowd since the site fills up. For tenting, sites 50-100 offers plenty of shade and nice lots, picnic tables are cement and un-movable. This poses some problems since some sites are small and moving the table would help, but alas. We did see a few 32' rigs in these sites. The general trailer sites down by the information center is typical setup, kinda in the open all lined up. No GSM phone service (CDMA is ok) fuel is limited. Radio & TV is also limited (ie- maybe 1 of each). Satellite radio or tv is possible. Showers & washrooms were clean and water was hot. Had a pleasant stay overall, the scenery is worth it. We camped here in a Tent.
