Camping on the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Island.
Camping Made Easy
About our campground
We offer close-to-off-grid camping on the Cabot Trail in a small campground. You're just minutes from Cape Breton's best beaches and local swimming holes on the Margaree River. We have a mix of unserviced campsites and fully equipped canvas tents.
The campsites are on a 100-year-old farm operated by Live Life In Tents. Freshwater, shared washroom facilities, and heated outdoor showers are on site. Wifi at the camp store with a common-use workspace, wifi, and a small shop to pick up anything you've overlooked before your trip.
Campsites are suitable for tent, car, van, or small RV camping.
