Located 15 minutes to Baddeck and 20 minutes from Margaree this Forty acre property has lots to offer. There are several fields and lots of forest to enjoy with several Kilometers of trails to explore. Most sites are walk-in sites with a parking area provided in the first field. The back boarder of property is the Beautiful Middle River with an awesome swimming hole and a path to get ya there. At this time there is no shower or washroom facilities but there is a compostable outhouse and solar showers can be used. Middle River is one of the premier fishing rivers on Cape Breton.

The Brook
Had an excellent experience here. Earl the host was very helpful and welcoming. The property is beautiful. The river is excellent for lounging and swimming with lots of sun and a deep pool. There are woods to explore, the campsites are private, there is a nice field for sports, and the outdoor toilet is only a short walk. There are gas, groceries, and liquor store about 25 mins drive away. We will definitely be returning.
