Fred's Place

4 sites ¡ Tents2 acres ¡ Baddeck, NS
2.3 acres of woodlot at the end of the road. Very rustic. Ideal for campers and bicycle campers. Very few facilities but you can put up a tent and have a fire. It's super quiet and the only sound is the wind and the very occasional car (like one a day). Five minute walk to the ocean. 15 kms to the nearest store. I will be at my cabin but the property is large enuf for you to have total privacy if you want it. I can be reached by email at frederick.gardiner123abc@gmail.com. I'm located at the end of Richard's Pond Lane. To get here, go to South Side Road, South Side River Bourgeois. Turn right on Richard's Pond Lane and follow it to the end. Turn right, go to the first sign that says 7/8 and follow the path up to my cabin. There is red tuck tape to show the way. On the map, I am not The Cuffs, but the location is the same.

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

Our linens / towels / face cloths / dish clothes are fresh and clean with every stay.

The best camping near Irish Cove Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Irish Cove Provincial Park, where the rolling hills meet the serene Bras d' Or Lake. Venture along the short trail that promises stunning panoramic views, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature just 32 km northeast of St. Peter's. While the park does not offer camping, its scenic overlooks provide the perfect backdrop for a day of exploration and photography.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Irish Cove Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is pleasant for hiking and sightseeing. Winters can be harsh, with limited access due to snow, making off-season visits less advisable for those seeking the full splendour of the park.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Wear appropriate footwear for the trail to navigate the terrain comfortably.
  • Bring a camera to capture the stunning views of Bras d' Or Lake.
  • Be mindful of park hours and plan your visit accordingly.
  • Remember to leave no trace and keep the park pristine for fellow adventurers.
