Unique Cabot Trail Campground

14 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres ¡ Baddeck, NS
This was one of the original homesteads in the Margarees. There was an old sawmill on site which was used to build the house and barn. It was sold to a man who started renovations for a summer house but ended up listing it for sale. I purchased it and completely renovated the 100-year-old house. Shortly after, my brother and I started an outfitting company with no plan of building a campground, but in 2017 we saw a great opportunity for building something unique. We wanted to keep a backwoods camping feel, but yet create it around a hostel-inspired environment. We launched June 1, 2018 and are in full swing now. We look forward to meeting you and will help you out in any way to make your trip here something to remember. Adventure awaits at this eco-camping hostel offering a natural setting, overlooking a picturesque valley. This location offers close to off-grid camping with a twist of comfort; furnished Glamping tents, sleeping up to 4 people per tent on a queen bed with twin camping beds for extra guests. Cooking gear, bedding, and towels are provided. Each tent, located at this eco-hostel, has its own campfire pit, with a solar outdoor shower on site and beautiful views of the river valley.

The space is perfect for those who love nature and rustic vibes. All of the cabins sleep two people, with a personal fire pit, bbq, kitchenette, drinking water (although no running water), and all the amenities needed to spend a few nights in nature. The shared outdoor bathroom has been hand crafted with lots of natural light, a composting toilet (i.e. non-flushing), hot water shower and two sinks. ------- Shared spaces include the trails, washroom, deck overlooking the bay, adirondack chairs at the lookoff, kayaks, hammocks, wood shed, and checkerboard table. There will be up to 12 people on the property - 6 in the cabins, 4 in the main level of the home, and our on-site property managers stay in the walkout basement of the home. ------- The whole property is essentially on a hill. Parking is near the top, followed by the cabins, the shared bathrooms, the 2-story home, and then the waterfront is a few minutes further down. The paths are not suitable for people with mobility issues and potentially seniors.

The best camping near Mabou Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Mabou Provincial Park, where the hillside terrain offers a stunning panorama of the Mabou Valley. Just a short 1.5 km journey north of Mabou village, this park invites you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Nova Scotia. Traverse the landscape, keep an eye out for local wildlife, and capture the essence of the valley through your lens.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Mabou Provincial Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the valley is in full bloom. Autumn also offers a spectacular display of colours, but be mindful that conditions can be more unpredictable. Winter visits can be serene, though some areas may be less accessible.

  • Check the local weather forecast before your visit, as conditions can change rapidly.
  • Be aware of local wildlife and maintain a safe distance at all times.
  • Carry out all trash and respect the natural environment to preserve its beauty.
