We had an open back in site. We had a nice view from our site of the valley and mountains. Nice grassy area though smaller than others. We were with friends that had the largest grass site next to us. The store had basic supplies, pool and there was an on-site restaurant, but we did not eat there. The Cabot trail loop started and ended right there in Baddeck so location was the key. What a BEAUTIFUL DRIVE. One day does not do the drive justice. Do it in both directions. Baddeck village had nice assortment of restaurants and activities. Do not miss Louisbough either.
This is a Beautiful Place. We stayed in a wooded site #215 30 amp only. There are open or wooded sites, wooded sites tend to be more spread out and much more private. Many activities available from hiking and biking, to swimming and canoeing. We attended some great narrated sessions about the park and surrounding area. Too windy to canoe out to see the seals on island. A bit of drive from almost everywhere but well worth the adventure if you are looking for the outdoor experience. PS rate does not include park pass.
Typical KOA. Clean, friendly, level, smallish sites. Our site was out in the open and was easy to pull-thru. Wooded back in sites were available. While not a pool goer, the pool seemed quite small. Store had some essential food and supplies as well as good local info. They rented kid trikes and canoe on river with an on site playground. The park is located a few minutes off the highway, only 15 minutes to downtown Halifax, 45 minutes to Peggy's Cove and 90 minutes to Lunenburg.
Stayed in a pull-thru wooded site # 239. Not very level. Also near a wind generator, loud on windy days. Sites #276-304 more level and closer to water for pull-thru all services. The park did have laundry machines. Very beautiful area w/ red dunes, cliffs and beaches. Cavendish area is definitely more commercialized, especially for PEI. Nice vacation town with many things to do. We were there during Hurricane Bill, while the wind blew hard, near the ground it was fairly calm in the camping grove. We rode the ferry from NS over to the island on a beautiful day (free going over) and drove off the island over the Confederation Bridge ($ 56.00) on another beautiful day. PS rate does not include park pass.
Our site was a large pull-through and was set-up back-to-back. This gave a large grass area for our family gathering, except they put us back to back instead of front to front and would not move us even though there were sites available. When making reservations we asked for "Full hookup" but to them that meant power/water/cable, no sewer. They closed the dump station Friday because it was full and overflowed, still closed Sunday when leaving. They also charged us for the "Carnival Weekend" but failed to tell us they had canceled all the activities and just whined about the corporate office not funding the park when asked for our money back. After several calls and a threat to call our CC company we got the carnival money returned. We will not return.
This is a city RV park. As with most, the draw is not the park but the city. Fairly easy to find and get into. As with most city parks, space is at a premium. The main street is a shopping mecca and downtown is 10-15 minutes away. A bit off the main road and fairly quiet for a city. The staff is friendly. I was warned of High Water Pressure. I will stay again.
Nice, Clean RV Park. Easy to find and get into. As previously posted, sites are concrete, level and of adequate size. This park is perfect for casino goers, but there are no campground recreations, activities or provisions. You have to leave for any needs, hence the "8" score. For casino crawlers, this park is at the west end of the casino strip that ends in Biloxi 30-40 minutes east. Stayed in motorhome, would come again.
The park was well marked and easy to find coming from both directions, well marked parking areas for new arrivals to check in. Nice wooded, un-paved sites with easy utility hookups. Over 34' RV sites are out in a field with pull thru sites available. Campground was quiet with access to a tidal area for canoeing at all but low tide. A nice Rec Hall was on site, but without a pool, this is not a great kid campground. There was a bit of a drive to get to area attractions. NO CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED.
If you do not like smoke, look elsewhere. You need to pay attention to find the campground. There is a sharp, steep climb off Route 13. Rough, gravel access driveway, leaving you in the middle of a parking area to check in. Cigarette smoke filled the check in desk, store and has contaminated everything inside, although the store was well stocked. Our site, 204, was at the low end of a field and was very muddy. There were 4 pools and many scheduled activities for kids. The facilities were average to below average in terms of cleanliness and upkeep. The campground had a distinct hill-billie atmosphere from the mud covered golf carts driven by smoking, beer drinking adults, to the crowds of unsupervised children running around. Not a campground I would recommend for a weekend getaway.
