Q. Can you take Big Rigs ?

     A. Yes we can. We have a number of 'pull thru' sites that makes life especially easy with a large RV or a 5th wheel.


Q. I get tired of campgrounds claiming they are 'easy' to find.... You say you are just off the 105 Trans Canada Hwy....do i have to go far before i find you....??

     A.  No..!  We are less than 200yds from the junction on the 105......[Exit #5]...we are on the left just as you start to go North up this road.


Q.  I see you are offering free Wi-Fi facilities, when will this be up & running...?

     A. This has now been installed and is fully operational.


Q. I'm on a tight budget this year, are your rates fixed ?

     A. Yes....!


Q.  Just how central are you in Cape Breton ?

     A.  Very...There is much to see in every direction & the 'North side' of the Bras d'Or Lakes is the much prefered area to visit.

The Bras d'or Lakes are at our door step...just going a mile or two South takes you back to Exit #4 on the 105 and on through Portage and Iona to the Grand Narrows....

Baddeck is North, about 25 mins away, Port Hood and Mabou are West also under half an hour. Lake Ainslie is North 'just up the road', and taking this route you can join the 'Cabot Trail' at Margaree, or you can continue on the 105 [North] and be on it in 20 minutes or so before you reach Baddeck.

Port Hawkesbury, where there is a Wal Mart & the Atlantic Superstore and much more, is about 30 minutes [South] on the 105.......

Q.  I am really looking forward to 'doing'
the Cabot Trail this year....is it an 'easy' route...?
It looks very hilly with lots of tight curves.....

     A. It depends on the size of your rig and your personal preferences. Most visitors 'base' themselves at a campground of their choice and tour it in stages in their car or towing vehicle. It's much easier on the rig and the occupants too if you do this. Level parking spots are few and far between. It's also significantly more economic......

We would recommend doing the portion that includes Cheticamp & Pleasant Bay on one day [North] and another day going past Baddeck and on up through to Ingonish [East & then North].

There is far too much to see in a day. Having once discovered the 'trail'  visitors then return to their favourite spots as time and desire permits.You have probably travelled a long way to get to Cape Breton.....don't rush your visit, there is so much to see.


Q. I'm told that many taxes spent when you are visiting Canada are refundable....can this possibly be correct......?

     A. YES....!  It hardly seems credible in this day & age, but its true....see our 'Links' page for the details.

It's a simple process that is 'authenticated' as you return to the Border prior to crossing back into the United States.

It's intended as a boost to tourism....we have the forms and information literature at our reception.

Don't forget to keep your receipts though !!
