Bras D’Or Lake has been called both a lake and ‘Canada’s inland sea’ but it is really an estuary where fresh water meets salt water creating a unique Biosphere surrounded by rocky shorelines and deep forested hills. Our Lake Front area offers wonderful photo opportunities, great reading spots, and picnic views galore! Our shore front is a sheltered cove where you can fish from the shoreline (no license necessary) or take a refreshing dip (swim shoes recommended). Adventurous guests are also welcome to use their own kayak or canoe at the lakes edge. There is an access boat ramp in downtown Baddeck for ease of launch if needed.
We are located on Trans Canada Highway #105 (TCH #105) Civic number 8885 at Km. Marker # 80 between exits #7 and #8. We are well-signed and the only campground on the lake (On your right when coming from the causeway—or if coming from the Sydney area on your left) and closest campground to Baddeck Village.

Yes! We welcome campers and their pets. For safety and hygienic reasons pets need to be on a leash at all times and owners need to pick up after them.

Sorry pets are prohibited from buildings at bathrooms, showers, clubhouse, office, laundry, and all but select pet friendly cabins. But they may swim in the lake!
