Beautiful 3 service site close to Baddeck and The Cabot Trail. Awesome home base for our 4 day stay. Owners very kind and helpful with obvious pride in their campground. Laundromat was clean. Did not use the pool but it looked lovely Would recommend and would love to stay again some day!

We just wrapped a great four day stay here. Perfect from checking to check out. Really friendly staff on site, great grassy treed sites and good walking, biking and swimming. Bathroom extremely well cared for and laundromat was clean and well maintained. Close to Baddeck, the Cabot Trail. We would highly recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing quiet place to stay.

This was a great campground for families. There was canoe and kayak rentals, dry wood (stored covered and indoors) a pool and a dated playground. The beach is meant more for a boat launch than swimming as it is rather weedy. Camp store has all the essentials. Our cabin was comfortable but thank goodness it had a fan!! It also had a heater for cooler nights. Bathroom had a few shelves and lots of hooks. Will go back again.

Hi Kat, First of all I want to say thanks for staying with us in one of our Cabins. Also thanks for the wonderful and very detailed review. It is very nice to get very detailed feedback so we can improve the campground even more. We are happy you enjoyed your Cabin and the campground. Also great to hear you will be back!! We ordered new sand for the beach in May. Unfortunately everything takes much longer since Covid, but we will have a much more beachy beach next year. We are looking forward to seeing you again!! Take care Daniel

Came with our travel trailer and have had a great time at this clean and well organized campground. Sites are spacious, pool enclosure and park are well kept and clean. All COVID-19 restrictions in place to keep all safe. Coin laundry on site and camp store is well appointed if you forgot something. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

Only 5 mins from Baddeck this is a true gem of a campground. Friendly staff, trails to walk on and a nice pool. The sites are a nice size. The campground is both modern and rustic. I would recommend if in the area for sure.

Camped with friends/family for 4 nights. Lovely treed sites - rare in a private campground. Sites were a little small, if you have a huge tent. Sites and bathrooms are impeccably CLEAN. Owner and the staff are super helpful and easy to deal with. There was an issue at the site across from us, where police had to be called. Owner dealt with things in a very professional and positive manner. Very impressed. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

This past October was the second time we stayed at Baddeck Cabot Trail Campground while we attended some of the Celtic Colours events. We also stayed in 2016. We have a hard sided pop-up. The sites are varied and we were able to get a wooded site with electric and water (that was close to the spotlessly clean bathrooms). I can't say enough about the owners. The campground has passed from an "older couple" to their adult children in between the times we stayed and both times I was so impressed by how they maintained the campground and their buildings. Both times they were very friendly, helpful and made us feel so welcome. We had some bad weather this year and the camper's lounge, laundry, heated restroom and onsite store were very much appreciated. We'll be back! A&B from Wisconsin.…

Stayed here in a truck and camper as part of a cross Canada RV road trip. Excellent staff who had lots of information about what to do and see in the area. Campers lounge with free morning coffee and lots of things to occupy you on a rainy day. Large laundry which was helpful and a convenience store for those odd items. Fall colours were at their peak so it was a very convenient campground for the cape Breton tour. Would definitely recommend.
