⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Baddeck Cabot Trail Campground – Baddeck, NS Beautiful campground with everything you could ask for! The sites were clean and well maintained, the Wi-Fi worked great, and the setting was peaceful with lots of trees and space. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond when we had a flat trailer tire, they offered help right away and even walked us to our site to assist with backing in. You can tell they really care about their guests. Also only a few minutes from Baddeck! We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend this spot for anyone starting their Cabot Trail adventure! ⛺🚐🌲

We loved this place! We added an extra night we loved it so much. Great location, amazing staff, beautiful sites, lots to do and explore in park. They let your dog play off leash in a big field. I could go on, but suffice it to say we were beyond pleased! P.s. Bring leveling blocks. It's a hilly area all around and the park is no different, no biggie just come prepared for that.

A wonderful surprise! Excellent facilities, free showers, inexpensive laundry, spacious campsites. Only downsides were highway noise, though overnight is quiet, and the wifi could be a bit stronger (at least in the lower sites). Would happily stay here again.

Ok, without writing a book singing the praises of the Cabot Trail Campground..... I'll just say it was the hands down BEST campground experience we have EVER had!!! Spotless bathrooms/showers/laundry facilities. Outdoor HEATED pool that was still open at the end of September. The staff was extremely helpful. Gave out pamphlets and maps of the area with suggestions on how to approach the Cabot Trail, and sites off the beaten path. Games room, clubhouse with shadow box booth tabletops, fully stocked outdoor cooking area (if it rains) with bbqs, pots n pans, picnic tables in a covered area. Sites are well spaced with plenty of room. Walking trails by the river..... These owners genuinely CARE about their property and customers. Definitely will return next year 👍👍

What a beautiful campground. The grounds were clean and tidy freshly cut, and the overall cleanliness of the park was 10 out of 10. We travelled with a tow behind trailer however walking the grounds we noticed that the tent sites were actually quite nice. Good size as well as covered and surrounded by trees. The pool was beautiful and was very warm and the camp store had lots of every day needs as well as books that you could take and leave and our son loved the golden KitKat ice cream. This will definitely become a regular in the rotation, and we will surely be back.
