Well........... we stayed here on the way out to Newfoundland and how convenient is that?? Very! Arrived back 14 days later and this is a great campground. Owners are so friendly, big rig friendly, WiFi works great, Price is great. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very busy CG with all sites in an open field overlooking the beautiful bras d’Or lakes on Cape Breton Island. Because it’s the closest one to the ferry to Newfoundland (3 miles), there’s always someone leaving or arriving at all hours. When we arrived without a reservation, there were two groups (Adventurers and Good Sam) almost filling up the park. The staff could not have been more friendly and cheerful as they found us a site and gave us the option of moving to a better one in the morning after one of the groups moved on. Arrive supplied, as there’s no store within walking distance. Although there isn’t a pool, there are two under-utilized two-person whirlpools that can be used to cool down. Restrooms, showers and laundry were all spotless at all times; however, with only two showers per gender, there sometimes are lineups . Wi-Fi worked fine in the ‘information room,’ where you can also find two public telephones and lots of traded magazines and brochures, and although there’s no cable TV, we received 5 channels on our amplified antenna, the best being CBC, CTV and Global. Overall an excellent stop in route to or from the Newfoundland ferry, with lots to see, do and shop in the local area. We stopped in route to - and will stop again on the return from – the ferry. Highly recommended to all. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a pretty, well-kept campground, with a view of the lake. The sites are level and grassy, and the grass is kept mowed. The buildings look freshly painted, and are neat and clean. Personnel are friendly and helpful. There is a large barn on site which contains a full kitchen and eating area, a game room and two private rooms, each containing a Jacuzzi tub. The tubs are immaculate. Folks are asked to clean the tub after use, and the cleaning product and paper towels are provided. The campground is very close to the ferry terminal for ferries to Newfoundland. RVs may be stored here, if campers don't want to take them to Newfoundland. The campground is also a good base camp for a day trip to the Fortress of Louisbourg and other area attractions. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
