We are just leaving the campground today, stayed here 3 nights. We are 3 weeks into our East Coast adventure and so far, this is the best campground we've stayed at; very clean, friendly owner and staff, great laundry facility, very close to Cabot Trail and awesome restaurants, it's right on the lake... Campsites are close together but definitely big enough for a 32 foot RV, picnic table, 20 foot trailer, fire pit, with enough room left to comfortably move around. We loved it and will definitely be back.

The campground is immaculate. The grounds, the showers and the public washrooms are excellent and well maintained. Some sites seem to be close together but it wasn't particularly busy when we stayed there so there was lots of room to spread out. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

Enjoyed the view of the lake and the pool. The atmosphere was friendly and at the time in 2020 late July it was very private. Park owner allowed time to enjoy after official time to leave.

Don't you sometimes feel selfish in sharing info about a place coz you're afraid that it will get crowded and lose your spot on your next visit? Well, this is what this gem feels like! Found it by accident and became my fave camping site! The most amazing shower room that i have ever encountered and it's free!!! No quarters needed!!! Such a blessing after a night from a no shower campground. They take pride on cleanliness which is reeeeaaaallly important to me. Staff are very friendly! Love this place!

This campground is located right off the main road going into Baddeck. The check In person was nice. The hook ups are a little different. To start with the sewer connection was really high off the ground. Our electrical plug in was located behind our neighbor. We did not use any of the facilities.
