Today was an awesome day at the campground. We celebrated Halloween and had lots of scary and funny trick and treaters. Later in the evening we had a haunted trail walk that was awesome. Thank you to all for your hard work.

Just got back from our stay & we had the best time... we booked 2 awesome tent sites that had just the right amount of privacy & connection to the campground. We went on a beautiful walk around the campground & saw some wildlife. Our son LOVED the huge playground & of course the beautiful pool. We wish we had stayed longer so we could have enjoyed the game room & other things they had to offer.... but we'll definitely be back again. Can't recommend this place enough!

Spend a few days at Kluskap Ridge in Englishtown and had a wonderful time. Highly recommended. If you’re spending time in Cape Breton I would definitely check it out. The scenery is beautiful. The owners are very accommodating. I will be passing through next year and stopping there. Really nice spot.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit, if you’re looking for a couples get away or to stop with your family, there’s something for everyone. The pool is amazing, perfect temperature and crystal clear. Grounds are kept immaculate and sites are clean and spacious. If I could rate it higher I would. Best campground on the island.
