MacLeod's Beach Campsite

Reserved a three way site for 5 nights. When we arrived we were told we had to drive up the side of a steep embankment among the many seasonal occupants. We had to put our truck in 4x4 just to make it up. Once there the site was sloped and couldn’t level up without burying the hitch. I hooked the chains to the truck as an extra precaution. Bathrooms were a long ways away, but were clean and well kept. Stayed just the one night and took the cancellation hit. BTW the cancellation policy is strict compared to most other campgrounds. There are many nice campgrounds on the Cabot Trail with ocean views. This place is set up primarily for seasonals.

Best campground ever the beach and cliff view is stunning

Beautiful view but horrible administration. They made us pay for 3 campsites for three small tents and then when we showed up told us we didn’t have to and could have just gotten one. We went the next day to get a refund and were told a bunch of different reasons why they couldn’t give us a refund for the 2 unused sites. Honestly camping for 70$ x 3 a night was already high and there are much much cheaper and nice campsites. Go somewhere else

Absolutely our favorite campground we stayed at on cape Breton! MacLoed’s beach was our favorite beach on the whole island (and we saw many). Sandy, clean, sheltered by dunes, gorgeous cliffs on either side. So breathtaking. The campground has a gorgeous view of the beach up on the hill. If you have an rv, highly recommend getting a site up top for the view.
We played on the beach with our son and daughter all day long.
Chris at the front desk was so great. Super friendly, he brought my son a surprise bag for his birthday bc they hadn’t yet stocked ice cream for the season.

During our three week trip with RV in Nova Scotia this was one of the best campgrounds. We had site 86 with power, water and dumping and had a view on the ocean. Lots if free space to play. Quiet. Beautiful beach with little people and clear water is 200m away. If you can bring your own wood instead of paying 5 dollar for some sticks (like everywhere in NS).
I met Mr MacLeod in person when I arrived and he was very friendly and open.
There also is a playground for kids and a small shop.
