This is a wonderful park on wonderful Cape Breton Island. We stayed for 5 days in a level, large, and private site. The park itself is spotless. A short and easy trail takes you from the campground to a beautiful, red-sand, beach that is very private and with few people on it. It's lovely and great for walking. The park staff was informed, polite, and helpful.....finding a replacement tire for our trailer in a very remote area of Nova Scotia. These Canadians know how to run a park! If you visit here, don't miss the walk out to the small cemetary for sailors lost at sea off of nearby White Point. Cape North and Cabot Bay are to your left and both are spectacular! It's a very special place. There is also a great walking beach at Cabot's Landing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is beautiful campground in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The sites are very large, level, and include both back-ins and pull-throughs in sun or shade (Evergreen and birch trees abound). This makes a good base camp for exploration of the national park, the Cabot Trail & surrounding small communities. The national park has many opportunities for hiking/walking, nature programs, and general sight-seeing. There are many whale-watching cruises available in the area, and the sand beaches on the Cabot Trail had many folks enjoying the surf, even in September. There is a walking trail from Broad Cove Campground to an ocean beach. We were traveling on the shoulder season, and had no problem in obtaining a beautiful site for 6 days over the Labor Day holiday. NOTE: This park does not take reservations, and I think that it would probably be full in the July-August high season. We thoroughly camping at this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
