Dragonfly Cottage

3 sites · Lodging14 acres · Rock Elm, NS
Get away from it all, a very quiet cabin in the woods. A great place to decompress and enjoy some time away. The property is left natural and has an apple tree and berries can be found around the area. Excellent high speed internet now available. There is an area to hook up a camper that provides water, power and sewer. Cape Breton Regional Municipality has recently implemented a 3% “Marketing Levy”, charged to our guests and used to fund a failing tourism website. Local hosts are not pleased about this. There are already a lot of extra fees with each guest booking and we understand the added frustration this brings. If you would like to join our voices and give feedback, you are welcome to email our mayor Amanda McDougall at mayor@cbrm.ns.ca and councilor for our area, Steve Parsons at steveparsons@eskasoni.ca

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 for sale about 8 years ago. I purchased it 4 years ago and completely renovated the 100-year-old house. 2 years ago 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 best camping near Ben Eoin Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Escape to the tranquil embrace of Ben Eoin Provincial Park, where adventure awaits amid a backdrop of hardwood-covered hills. Venture along the park's trails for a short walk that culminates in a stunning look-off, offering panoramic views of East Bay. While the park may not boast campgrounds, its natural allure provides ample opportunity for day-trippers to immerse themselves in the scenic splendour of Nova Scotia.

When to go

The best times to visit Ben Eoin Provincial Park are during the warm summer months, from June to August, when the weather is ideal for exploring. Autumn also offers a spectacular display of foliage. Winters can be harsh, and some areas may be inaccessible, so it's less advisable for visits during this season.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have suitable footwear for hiking, as the terrain can be uneven.
  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to dress appropriately.
  • Be mindful of local wildlife and maintain a safe distance.
  • There are no camping facilities, so plan your visit as a day trip.
  • Remember to carry out all trash and leave the park as pristine as you found it.
