Blue Bayou Resort, Cape Breton

Near to Cape Brenton NP.

It's a glamping, very weak wifi, have to be by office which is too cold (mid June ) to be sitting out. They need to have 1 or 2 wifi boosters in property.

Loved the campground, easy check in and great location for a quick one night rest along the Cabot Trail.

It was very expensive for not even having a fridge and the tiny heater could not keep up so we were very cold during our stay. The bedding was not sufficient.

That it was on the water.

The dome had a strong plastic smell. The air filter machine was loud. The heater was too small to properly heat the dome and running the heater while you try and sleep it’s too loud. The property is under construction so looks like you’re staying in a construction site.

Comfortable beds, good space, the veranda, location

Needs a toaster, clean shower curtain, paper towel, dish clothes, extra blankets, garbage wrapper under the bed, bedside lamp, over prices

We liked sleeping in the dome, feeling like we were camping. The heater worked great, we were very comfortable sleeping,

There was a plastic/vinyl smell. I guess it was the dome material. The kitchen area looked dirty, we didn't use it. The water for the shower wasn't very hot and the shower looked a little dirty.

great location, you can rent a kayak and check out a harbour (we've met Bald Eagle on the island!),

the "chinese plastic" smell in the dome was unpleasant. at time when we were there - they was building new domes around and constructors started at 7am.. also there is a heater in the dome which not help at all and if outside is less then 10C - be prepared to be chilly)

Location was excellent. Comfortable way to camp!!

Would love more snacks to be available to buy in the store.

Beautiful location. Free paddle boards and kayaks were brilliant and the water is beautiful and warm. Showers were great in the domes.

I was not that clear what cooking equipment was provided so was not sure to bring. The dome did have a sink and a kettle and some mugs and tea and coffee but no bowls etc.

On the shore of South Harbour. Kayaks, canoes and other facilities available. Right near many fabulous hiking trails through national parks in Cape Breton.

The WiFi is spotty if your camp is not close to the office. But we don’t need to spend our camping vacation on our devices, and WiFi is good near the waterfront.

The location was great; right on a cove. We stayed for 2 days which enabled us to use the kayaks for free - a surprise and fun bonus.

love everything about this place!

Very nice for a group, there are enough cooking utensils. The location is also good, close to white road trail and places to see sunrise. There is also a lake nearby linked to the Atlantic Ocean that can play kayak and SUP, warm water in the afternoon, we had so much fun playing in the lake.

The sofa is too soft, there were bee and flies in the chalet that we need to deal with at the beginning.

Easy way to camp without bring8ng all the stuff you need to camp. It was worth the price to have an outdoor meal, a decent bed, a private bathroom, a way to easily heat water and, best of all able to gather our things and drive away letting someone else clean up our camp space. We had water activities available, but didn’t take time to use them.

The WiFi was a fairytale

Compared to other accommodations we experienced during our trip, this property felt significantly overpriced for the value offered. The resort is currently under construction, which greatly impacts the atmosphere. Upon arrival, we were met with heavy-duty vehicles, stacks of building materials, and an active construction zone—detracting from any sense of a relaxing resort environment.Cleanliness and maintenance were also concerns. The garbage bins were full when we arrived and were not emptied until the following day. Additionally, the domes were advertised as “soundproof” on Booking.com, which was unfortunately not the case. Noise from neighboring domes was clearly audible, and the close proximity of the units meant there was very little privacy.The “kitchen” area was minimal—essentially just a sink and a coffee station. While the morning coffee was a nice touch, overall amenities were lacking. The shower had warm water but very low pressure, and the walls showed signs of rust and wear.Lastly, although a pet fee is charged, it’s unclear what additional cleaning or accommodations are provided for pets to justify the added cost.This place has a lot of potential but unless you’re able to book one of the two waterfront units I would not recommend.

The domes are a cool idea and a neat experience.

The kids zip line sounds like someone is using a chainsaw. The room had a smell to it. I think the wall was recently painted and the smell was still in the room.

Location and the staff were fenomenal!

I feel it is important to share my experience so future guests have an accurate understanding of what to expect.Firstly, calling this property a “resort” is misleading. While it is a unique and charming camping experience, it does not offer the amenities typically associated with a resort — such as a restaurant, bar, pool, or hot tub. Renaming it to something more accurate, like Blue Bayou Campground, would help set proper expectations.Furthermore, both Booking.com and the property should provide guests with a clear list of items to bring in advance. The on-site supplies provided are very minimal and are not replenished during the stay, which can lead to inconvenience, especially for families or longer visits.Sharing this information up front and ensuring that basic supplies are restocked would go a long way toward improving the guest experience and avoiding disappointment.Thank you for taking this feedback into consideration to help make future stays clearer and more comfortable for everyone.

The location on Cape Breton Island is great for sightseeing. It’s about halfway around the Cabot Trail which is very convenient.

The glamping tent is very unique and the setting is excellent. Located right beside a lake, with kayaks and canoes available adds to the experience but we didn’t have time to take advantage. The fire pit and picnic table outside would encourage people to be outside. There is a group shelter for barbecuing.

Nothing really. We booked last minute, so the heater was started then and It took a while for it to warm up. Our own fault.

Beautiful domes. Glamping at its finest. Loved the fire fed bbq spot, was perfect for steak

The people are wonderful! The domes are clean. You need to bring plates, dish soap,utensils. They had ice, charcoal, firewood available to purchase.

The location and style of the domes were very nice.

Be careful with power consumption. No tv.
