How to Camp Around Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
Here is your ultimate guide on how to camp around Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia!
Cape Breton Island National Park, is an island, located on the top eastern half of Nova Scotia, Canada.
Quaint fishing villages, rugged coastline, rolling green mountains, tropicalesque beaches, nice people, and delicious food! There is so much untouched nature out in the Highlands. A destination out of a dream…
In late June, my boyfriend and I spent eight days camping and exploring all around Cape Breton Island. We fell in love with the Island!
We followed the Cabot Trail most of the time and ventured off here and there. Looking at the trail on a map, people either follow it clockwise or counter clockwise. Go the clockwise route! Head into Inverness first then towards Chรฉticamp, that is the way to go!
In this guide, I share with you the order in which we drove around Cape Breton Island. The hikes and excursions we did. Where you can find amazing sea glass and all of the campgrounds we camped at. The restaurants we ate at, beaches you don’t want to miss out on and a full day by day itinerary!
Let’s get into all things Cape Breton Island!
How to Camp Around Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
How to get to Cape Breton Island
Coming from far away? Fly into โ JA Douglas McCurdy Sydney Airport in Southern Nova Scotia.
The drive from the airport to the beginning of the Cabot Trail is roughly two and a half hours. You need a car so be sure to rent one ahead of time.
Are you within driving distance? Make the drive! Road trip!!
We packed up all of our camping gear and drove from Seacoast New Hampshire.
We broke the drive up by stopping about half way in New Brunswick. The Bay of Fundy National Park and Hopewell Rocks are a great halfway point if you are also coming from the Seacoast NH area.
Canadian border
Whether you are driving or flying you will need your passport to get into Canada.
Check yours before your trip to make sure they are not expired!
When you arrive at the border, they will ask you why you are visiting, for how long and potentially more questions.
Just answer what they ask and everything will go fine!
Break up the long drive!

Includes all the info you need on things to do for the day: places to see, where to camp, eat and more~
Cape Breton Island
Crossing over to Cape Breton Island
You will cross over a green Bridge that says โWelcome to Cape Bretonโ thatโs when you know youโve made it!
The drives from here on out are much shorter distances, only about an hour from town to town around the Island.
Inverness
A great starting point! Not technically part of the Cabot Trail, but a town thatโs along the way you should stop at and explore if you have time. My favorite beaches we visited on Cape Breton Island were in Inverness!
Inverness Beach (public)
Located next to town, right before the large golf course on the ocean. Look for Beach Village Road, parking is free. Head down to the beach, there is plenty of room to find your own slice of paradise.
The ocean is calm and so beautiful. This beach actually reminded me of a beach I was once on, on a Greek Island.
If you are visiting in the summer bring a bathing suit! We didnโt think we’d want to swim but the sun gets hot and the water is SO nice, better than I wouldโve ever expected for being so far north.
This is a great beach to hangout on for a beach day!
And ooh the sea glassโฆthe sea glass on this beach at low tide was so abundant and beautiful, nothing like Iโd ever seen anywhere else before. Itโs everywhere!! The pieces are big, smooth and just beautiful. There is so much to be collected.
The Annex
The Annex is a restaurant that was recommended to us by a few different locals. Fun place with the best food in town. Located on the same road you take to get to the public beach.
Route 19 Brewery
Stop in at Route 19 Brewery to get lunch and try some great local beer!
Route 19 Brewery is just minutes down the road from the public beach. They have great beer, so many options!
Get a sampler, find your favorite and pick some up to have in your cooler for the rest of your trip.
Inverness Quiet Beach (Margaree Harbor)
This small beach/cove is located about a half hour from Inverness Public beach (headed towards Cheticamp).
Look for the Whale Cove Summer Village sign, once you see that you are at the right place. A local had told us about the beach so we kept an eye out for it along the way.
The little Harbor is so picturesque and quiet, something out of a postcard. Park your car on the side of the road and look for one of the dirt paths that lead down to the beach.
Most likely only a couple other people will be there if any, probably locals. If you want a quiet, peaceful beach day go here. The water is just as beautiful and calm. There is sea glass to find here as well; it’s just not as abundant as it is at the public beach.
Chรฉticamp
A traditional fishing village on Cape Breton Island. Most of the people who live here are Acadian descendants (a type of French I had never heard of until visiting Cape Breton). Chรฉticamp is larger size village on the Island and is a part of the Cabot Trail!
There is a lot to do and see here in Chรฉticamp! You can easily find a few restaurants here, grocery stores, gas station, etc.
Captain Zodiac Whale Cruise
The Captain Zodiac Whale Cruise! A whale watching cruise where if you donโt see any whales you get all of your money back. A really good company, they do a great job!
You will arrive at the harbor in Cheticamp and board a zodiac (to me it looked like a giant dingy). The captains are friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and all the ocean life.
Once you board the Zodiac, the captain takes you to the best area nearby for seeing whales that day. You can see some pretty cool whales out off ChรฉticampโฆLike some that are 90 feet long!!
The captains are very safe with watching weather conditions. If the waters get too rough they will bring you back in.
Itโs cool being out on the water on the zodiac, you see the Island from a totally different perspective.
Be sure to bring a raincoat or windbreaker! Even if it’s a warm day on land, once you are out on the water the temp drops quite a bit.
Wear sunglasses!! The sun is very strong out on the water and they will also protect your eyes from the ocean water splashing up.
Bring a dry bag to hold anything like a camera, cellphone and/or extra layers you want to keep dry. We brought our DSLR camera and after taking a few shots I was very happy I brought the dry bag to store it in the rest of the ride.
If you are out on a rough day, you will most likely get wet!
Chรฉticamp Campground
Chรฉticamp Campground is a great campground in a good location! Definitely stay here in Chรฉticamp if you are camping.
Book your site ahead of time that way you have lots to pick from! Chรฉticamp Campground also has some otentiks which are a nice option as well. This campground is a part of the National Park.
If you are camping: stay here 2 nights!
The campground has free (hot) showers, bathrooms, WiFi that is better in some places than others and drinking water.
Lโabri Cafe & Restaurant
Dinner at Lโabri was the most delicious meal we had during our time on Cape Breton Island! Along with a beautiful view of the sunset over the ocean.
The design is so cool and fun, the people are nice and the food is just amazing. We went here because our captain from the Zodiac Tour had told us about it.
Thankfully, we got lucky and were able to get a table after waiting at the bar for a bit. We saw many people get turned away so try and make a reservation here ahead of time!! If you go on a nice night, ask for one of the tables outside, the views are just stunning.
If you go on the evening whale watch trip with the Captain Zodiac Whale Cruise, make reservations for here for after! The restaurant is just down the road from the whale cruise.
Gypsum Mine Trail
The Gypsum Mine Lake Trail is great little hike!! A local recommended it to us.
Hike out to the quarry, itโs really cool to see! When you arrive at the entrance to the water, hike up the trail that is right behind the entrance to the lake if you were to get in. Itโs just a bit further up and gives you the coolest views.
This is a very easy walk/hike, if it’s a nice day jump in the quarry! The water is great…Overall an easy hike with very rewarding views.
The trail can be a little muddy. Wear old shoes or Tevas.
Cheticamp Island Beach
A beautiful, quiet, rocky beach.
We hung out here for a while and were the only ones there.
Very relaxing and easy to access.
LaBella Mona Lisa Gallery
A unique art gallery with originals from the artist who runs it as well as art from all over the island.
The artist is really friendly and nice to talk to.
A fun place to check out while in Chรฉticamp!
The Newlands Island Cuisine
The Newlands Island Cuisine is a food truck that specializes in North American and Caribbean cuisine.
We saw a lot of people over at this food truck for lunch one day so we decided to check it out…The Newlands did not disappoint!! So good! Stop by for lunch while in Chรฉticamp.
When we were in Chรฉticamp, the truck was parked along the water across from Chรฉticamp fire department.
Freya & Thor Gallery + Cafe
A unique art gallery and cafe on the Cabot Trail!
Freya & Thor have delicious pastries, teas, coffee and more! As well as a lovely art gallery to check out.
A young couple runs the place, they do a great job. Kept clean with an area to hangout, cool art to look at, and tasty food and drink!
Following the Cabot Trail North out of Chรฉticamp…
After an early morning breakfast stop at Freya & Thor, continue north out of Chรฉticamp and head deeper into the Highlands! Be prepared to be in awe!! I thought what we had seen of the Island so far was just stunning then drove further and further and I couldnโt contain my excitementโฆ.itโs just amazing. Have your cameras ready!
Beaches! Pullover and Explore
Along the drive, (especially shortly after leaving Freya + Thor) there are many pullover stops next to gorgeous beaches. Check some of them out!
The views with the huge mountains and cliffs in the background are stunning.
You can easily pullover at any of them, there is plenty of parking. Some of the beaches are more easily accessible than others that are easier to just look at from the road.
Lookout Points
Drive slow and be ready for these, they have amazing views.
There are probably dozens!
Depending on how much time you have, stop at all or just the ones that catch your eye.
Some of them offer hikes and/or good places to stop and have a picnic.
The Skyline Trail
The Skyline Trail is a โmust seeโ while on Cape Breton Island!
The trail takes you out to a point that offers views like nowhere else on the Island. Be sure to do this on a sunny, clear day if possible!
Earlier in the morning is a good time to beat the busy crowds. Hiking out at sunset is another great time to do it, just make sure itโs not too cloudy.
The Skyline Trail Loop is 6.3 miles total. An easy level hike, no big hills or tough terrain. Hiking boots are not necessary; you can do it in sneakers or Tevas.
Once you arrive at the main lookout point, there are lots of stairs. Head as far out as you can go! That is the best place for pictures.
Pleasant Bay
A very small town on the Cabot Trail on the Western side of Cape Breton Island. Probably one of the more quiet towns up in Cape Breton. There is a lot of untouched nature and beauty up in this area to explore.
The Rusty Anchor
The Rusty Anchor is a great restaurant along the way that has delicious food and drinks!
An easy place to pull in at, order some food, fill up and keep on going!
We made it an oyster and beer stop which was perfect!
Whale Tale
A literal whale tail sculpture coming out of the ground located right next to the ocean.
The beach located here is a great one to hangout on or walk.
196 Harbour Rd, Pleasant Bay, NS B0E 2P0, Canada
Pleasant Bay Whale Watching
Just a two minute drive over to the harbor from Whale Tail you can find Pleasant Bay Whale Watching!
These guys will take you out on an old lobster boat to see the whales. There is lots of room to spread out and find your own spot. I liked the old lobster boat because when there was a whale sighting we could all get up and walk over to that area of the boat.
Doing this in Pleasant Bay is cool because you can see a totally different part of the Island by boat! We saw a handful of minke whales, seals, and dolphins which were so exciting to see!
Depending on what time of year you visit, the type of whale you will see could change.
If you do the evening cruise, you will most likely get back too late to make it to any restaurants for dinner so have some food at your campsite or hotel!
Cabot Trail Food Market
Located about a half hour from Pleasant Bay harbor, you can find a grocery store that will have everything you need! *Not actually in Pleasant Bay*
Since we were camping we needed to pick up some food to cook by the fire for dinner. Unfortunately we didnโt find this grocery store until after we needed it, but if you need groceries or beer go here!
Any small store you find in Pleasant Bay will not sell alcohol whatsoever, I guess they have a unique rule in that town.
Donโt bother going to the Co-op store between Pleasant Bay and Meat Coveโฆthe store is empty, youโll have to get very creative with dinner ideas. Go to the Cabot Trail Food Market instead.
29352 Cabot Trail Rd, Dingwall, NS B0C 1G0, Canada
Meat Cove
Technically Meat Cove is not a part of the Cabot Trail but it is definitely a โmust seeโ!! Meat Cove is a very small, super remote town on the most northern tip of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island! This is one of my favorite places on Cape Breton Island. Be sure to arrive here during the day. You donโt want to do the drive in the dark, the road is a little steep and rough. Doable, but it will be sketchy at night.
Meat Cove Campground (most northern tip)
Meat Cove Campground is the coolest campground!! The same family has lived and owned the property for eight generations.
Tent campsites are first come first serve (you cannot book sites ahead of time) but you can reserve the cabins. They have 30 tent sites all located along the cliff overlooking the oceanโฆitโs amazing.
Stay here 2 nights!!
If you are worried about not getting a site and you really want to stay here, call ahead and book a cabin.
The cabins are clean, small, and have just what you need! You have to bring your own sleeping bag, pillows, etc. but itโs nice to be in a little cabin for a couple nights after being in a tent.
The campground has free (hot) showers, bathrooms, WiFi and drinking water.
Meat Cove Campground Chowder Hut/Food Truck
At the campground, there is normally a Chowder Hut where you can get food.
While we were there they were working on it so it was closed. They did have a food truck though which was great!
The food truck offered lobster rolls, fish & chips, mussels, and more! We got it for lunch and really enjoyed it.
They were only open for lunch and early into dinner. If you donโt bring your own food to cook, be aware of their hours, there isnโt anything else relatively nearby.
Beach
The campground has its own beach!
It’s very easy to access! Just a short walk from your tent or cabin.
You will have an amazing view of this beach from your tent or cabin. You can hear the waves crashing all throughout the day and night, it’s so peaceful.
Hike the Little Grassy Trail
An absolute โmust doโ!!!
When we checked into the campground, one of the owners told us to do this hike just a bit before sunset. The hike starts just a little walk down from the check-in area. Itโs a very narrow path through the woods you will follow for a bit and then opens into a field of grass.
This was one of my favorite things we did on the entire trip…The destination the hike takes you to, you are able to watch the sunset over the ocean!
We couldnโt believe the bright, vibrant colors with the ocean sitting under while the sun sank into it. A handful of others from the campsite also did the hike, but there is plenty of room to find your own little area to enjoy it in peace and quiet.
The hike is not too difficult, it only takes 20 minutes. Just bring a headlamp or flashlight for the hike back, it gets dark once you are back in the woods after the sun is down.
Cape St. Lawrence Lighthouse Trail
The Cape St. Lawrence Lighthouse Trail is a longer hike, about 6.6 miles there and back.
You start off just outside where you check-in at the campground. This hike is more on the moderate/difficult side and totally worth doing!
For the majority of the hike you will follow a road/trail/
Eventually you will end up closer to the coast with little lookouts, thatโs when you know you are getting close!
The trail opens up, you will end up in an open area with the ocean off in the distance!
There are remnants of an old lighthouse, as well as the new one standing today. Climb up to the top of the new one to get the best views!
This is a great area to hangout a while, have lunch then keep on going or head on back to camp.
The Cape St. Lawrence Lighthouse Trail is a really fun hike to do if you have time for it! Also- be on the lookout for wild horses, they are often out in the field by the lighthouse!
The hike can be done as a there and back 6.6 mile hike or you can do the loop version which is longer, 10.6 miles total. Either one will get you out to the awesome views!
Bring food & beer for camping
If you decide to camp or stay in a cabin at Meat Cove Campground, be sure to pack enough food for however many days you stay.
Bring a cooler, small grill and/or cook over the fire!
If you get hungry once the food truck/chowder house is closed itโs a hike to get to anything else so definitely plan out some meals!
The drive
Ooh the drive out to Meat Cove…If you have a small car, take this drive very slow and be cautious of potholes.
Having an SUV or truck is ideal for the drive out to Meat Cove, but still doable in smaller cars. Most of the drive is on dirt roads. There are some pretty sharp turns, big potholes, bumps, etc.
Donโt do this drive at night, especially on your first night in…you will not like it. It really helps to see whatโs coming up, to move around on the road, and make easier turns.
Donโt be scared, just be aware of this! Itโs totally worth it and all a part of the Meat Cove remoteness!
Ingonish
Ingonish…such a charming, picturesque, and fun town. We really loved this area of the Island. Lots of hiking trails, amazing beaches, great restaurants, shops and a great campground! There is plenty of exploring to do and things to see in the town of Ingonish!
Neils’ Harbour Lighthouse
We noticed the lighthouse off in the distance while driving and just had to make the stop.
Such a nicely preserved, charming and picturesque lighthouse. You can drive right up to it and take all kinds of pictures.
The lighthouse is located right before Ingonish at: Cabot Trail Rd, Neils Harbour, NS B0C 1G0, Canada
Ingonish Beach
A lovely beach to hangout and watch the sunrise or watch at sunset to see beautiful colors paint the sky.
At high tide, this beach will be more rocky but once the tide is out there is sand. The colors of the ocean are so pretty, a great place to sit and relax on the beach.
North Bay Beach
The perfect beach to hangout and have a beach day on!
Walk a little ways down to the right or left, find your own area and spend the day there!
This beach has free parking and bathrooms. The sand is soft, the ocean is a beautiful blue/green color and the water is a comfortable temperature.
The beach doesnโt get overly packed which is really nice.
Broad Cove Campground
Broad Cove Campground is my second favorite campground we stayed at during our time in Canada! (second to Meat Cove).
Our site here was perfect…we had a little wooded area behind us with lots of space for our tent, cooking table, picnic table, fire, hammock, and space to park the truck.
Stay here 2 nights!!
Go online ahead of time to book your site to assure you get one in a good location, make sure you donโt pick a shared site unless you are going with others. We had site #107.
The campground has free (hot) showers, bathrooms, WiFi and drinking water. This campground is also located in a great spot, very close to town and beaches and is inside the national park.
Salty Rose’s & The Periwinkle Cafe
Salty Rose’s and the Periwinkle Cafe is just lovelyโฆso charming, well decorated, delicious food, great drinks with the perfect little shop connected to the cafe.
There’s a beautiful outdoor seating area with a mix of flowers that make the cafe so charming. Come by in the morning for coffee and a breakfast pastry or sandwich then come back again in the evening for a small plate and beverage.
Browse the shopโs locally made jewelry and prints while you wait for your order to be ready and chat with the friendly locals.
There are even a few rooms you can book to stay in right upstairs book directly or through Airbnb, something I will do when I return next. I canโt say enough good things about this place, I just fell in love with it. Make it a point to check it out at least once while in town!
The Franey Trail
The Franey Trail is an awesome hike!!
If you like to hike, make it a point to do this while in Ingonish.
The hike is a 4.5 mile loop and takes roughly 2.5 hours to complete. It is a moderate/difficult level hike, some areas are tougher than others.
Try and start the hike earlier in the morning, especially if you are visiting in the summer to avoid the heat and heavy trail traffic.
When you get to the top, youโll have amazing 360 views!
At the top, take the little trail to the right of the red chair (if you are looking out) and head down there! You can get awesome pictures over there if you are willing to climb a little!
We really enjoyed this hike, it’ a great workout with rewarding views.
The Groovy Goat Farm + Soap Shop
The Groovy Goat Farm is the cutest little placeโฆso many goats, a donkey and baby chicks!
Head over to the Groovy Goat Farm, walk around to see all of the animals. The farm is kept up really well.
Afterwards check out the soap shop right on property!
The Coastal Restaurant & Pub
Amazing food and draft beer.
Check The Coastal out for lunch or dinner while in town, you wonโt be disappointed!
They were featured on the Canadian Food Network! Be sure to try their famous crab dip and ringer burger!
Stanley’s Sunset Grill at the Keltic Lodge
The Keltic Lodge is a beautiful hotel you should check out while in Ingonish!
We drove down to see it and ended up having lunch at the golf course in our beach attire at Stanley’s.
They are super laid back and friendly and the food is great.
We tried poutine at a few different place and this was hands down the best we had in Nova Scotia!
Andrewโs Pizzeria
Andrew’s has friendly staff and great pizza!
Call in and order a pizza to bring back to your site for dinner one night.
We did, and really enjoyed it.
Baddeck
The last village to visit along the Cabot Trail! Baddeck, known as the beginning and the end of the Cabot Trail. This town is a fun one! You will drive for a while leaving Ingonish on your way to Baddeck without seeing much until you arrive in town. This town seemed the most built up and busy to me. They had the most bustling downtown area that was really cute.
Kidston Island Lighthouse
The Kidston Island Lighthouseโฆ.so nautical, charming and scenic.
We only were able to see it from land due to how much time we had left but if you have more time, rent SUPs and get a better look at it from the water! I wish we had time to do that! If not, donโt worry you can still get a good view of it from land!
Explore the Town of Baddeck
When you arrive in the town of Baddeck you most likely see a lot of people out and about.
People walking around, shopping, hanging out at cafes, relaxing by the water. It’s a fun and lively little town for the Island.
I wish we had more time to spend in Baddeck, make it a point to give yourself at least a few hours to explore the area…We will just have to come back!

Cape Breton Island
What a trip!! Cape Breton Island is a special place…the highlands, the Cabot Trail, the beaches, fishing villages, hikes, sea glass, and sunsets. The charm this Island has is like nowhere I’ve been before…
If you like the outdoors and exploring places that aren’t super touristy yet this is the destination for you. I would come back to Cape Breton again and again in the future, there is just something so cool about it.
You won’t get bored exploring the around the Island. Each town/village is so unique in their own way, a totally different feel at each destination.
I hope this guide + itinerary were helpful for you! Whether you are planning a trip to Cape Breton, looking for things to do here, or just get inspired to go somewhere new!
We had the best time exploring this beautiful Island. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or comments about Cape Breton! I love to talk about this amazing place.

Cosette
We loved Cape Breton island, actually we loved the whole of Nova Scotia. However we did have bad luck with the Cabot trail, because the day we drove it, there was fog. So we didn’t have grand views, but white views. We did however see a moose coming out of the fog. We had lunch at the Rusty Anchor and can recommend it.
sierra
Oh that’s too bad it was foggy when you drove it…weather can be so unpredtictable out there, butat least you got to see a moose!! That’s pretty cool.
