We recently stayed at Waves End for 6 nights. We chose this campground because of its proximity to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
Be prepared for the possibility of some very windy days (Les Suetes) at this campground. No awnings out if you have a trailer. Our trailer was knocked off the leveling blocks early one morning from the high winds. No damage done but it was a bit scary to be inside when it happened. Just mentioning this (it has nothing to do with the campground) as a way to describe the winds.
Washrooms were very clean and well maintained. Laundry was available as well. Honour system, you pay at the office once you’re done.
Dump station is available as well (no sewer at site) and they sell ice cream in the store, as well as propane refills and firewood.
Would highly recommend Waves End as a base for your Cape Breton exploration. We enjoyed the neighbouring town of Cheticamp as well, it has most of the amenities you would need.
