I normally travel for business and for someone who has stayed in hundreds of hotels to say this about a campground says a lot. This campground’s bathrooms and showers were... read more the cleanest I’ve seen. The toilet base. The corners of the floors. The grooves around the taps. There was a smell of disinfectant each night and toilet seats up. Good working Humidifiers to prevent mold. Always well stocked. I was also impressed with the care taken to protect visitors during Covid in the common areas. Before serving ice cream, The owner (masked) washed his hands, put on gloves.. and even washed the scoop between guests. Signs indicate one person at a time in the reception building. There are laundry facilities, staff on site 24/7 from what I saw, a nice sized playground, walking trail loop, across the street from the ocean. They have a large “family room” with large TV and couch set and tables. They sell basic needs like coffee pods, tea, basic cleaning supplies like laundry detergent. Coolers for cold drinks, and a few snacks. This location is a very short drive to beautiful Cabot Trail views, shops and beach (Ingonish). All three can be done easily in one day. My brother, his two sons and my mom and I all stayed in a very cute tiny home. It was clean and well maintained. We all said we’d come back again. I felt that the small space drew...

We booked this campground so we were close to the Cabot trail for hiking and site seeing. Was a lovely place when we pulled in. We had no problems getting... read more our 33’ fifth wheel in and set up - even though the sites are very small and extremely close together.
I would not recommend this camp ground however, if you are travelling with young children and enjoy sleeping.
There must not be any quiet time hours in place because we were kept up both Friday and Saturday nights until 3 am due to the very loud parties going on around us.
We are certainly not against having some beverages and a good time, but it was just a bit inconsiderate when this is a family campground.
We did go for a short walk and found a great fish and chip stand just down the road on Friday evening and enjoyed a great meal. That was certainly a highlight of our stay. More

If I could give this place a zero I would. So we arrive on Monday with a 38 foot travel trailer. Reservations made several months ago. When we get there... read more the owner said he didnt realize how large our trailer was. He had us in a very small site that would not hold our trailer even though we told him how large our trailer was when we reserved. He then told us that there were several other sites that we could choose from. We chose one of those and he said that we were good to go. Our reservation was thru Sunday. Friday evening rolls around and at 5:30 (just when we were having dinner and about to rest up for the evening) the "other" co-owner knocks on our door and says we are in the wrong site and have to move because the people who reserved the site for the weekend were there. So we are completely taken off guard at this point!!! We have been here all week and were told that we were good thru our reserved date! First off how did these owners not know the site we were in was reserved for the time we were there??? If they knew why did they wait to 5:30 on the night they arrive??? Why would they even give us this sight to start with?? So they try to make us move to the site that was too... If I could give this place a zero I would.

We travel alot and will make sure we NEVER come here again and will make sure we tell all of our RV family and friends not to come here. On top of this debacle the sites are terribly cramped. We had our picnic table touching our trailer just to keep it off of the other site. Never again!! More

My boyfriend and I broke our brandnew tent in here last weekend They were very friendly, accommodating and we really loved their weekend theme of Christmas in July!

Security makes it a very comfortable safe environment.
Would highly recommend.

I took my family to this campground and cannot say enough about how great this trip was. The staff were amazing, the area is beautiful and there was lots of... read more activities and fun for the kids. I found it very safe and there were movies for all the kids late at night on the weekends. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star is lot sizes were a little tight BUT you would never know you were so close to each other. The quiet time isn’t strictly enforced but having a small baby with us it was not a problem even with the band and karaoke playing. Definitely would recommend. Heads up .50 cent showers.
