Loved our stay here while seeing the Cabot Trail. Host was super friendly and kind. He even dealt with a noisy cabin on our last night in a timely manner.

Great "glamping" experience. This was a great location for exploring Cape Breton Island with easy access to the Cabot Trail. The owners are great, quick with help for any concerns.

The property was awesome with views of the lake. Kayak and canoes are free to use also. The owners are amazing and very helpful about things to do in the area.

Amazing Glamping Experience!

Wonderful Glamping Experience Host, Stephane, was great! Domes are fun Amazing location Fire pits & bbq’s
Alastair, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The stay was very comfortable, Owner very attentive. Since we stayed there for 2 nights, we had the opportunity to kayak for free. When it started to rain a little, the owner gave us a canopy to hide from the rain when we had lunch or dinner. The holiday was wonderful

Wonderful! If you like camping with all the conveniences this is the place to go. The view is spectacular. You can go kayaking, canoeing, windsurfing, etc. It's all free! I just wanted to let you know that there are no extra charges. Best of all, you get privacy. It was great!

Glamorous camping

It was a very nice and relaxing experience. We loved being in the outdoors. Kayaking and Canoeing equipments were provided for free, which was amazing.

It was a unique experience, different from everyday hotels. no intrnet so the kids had to talk to us.

Overall loved our stay. Had thought we would have view of water but only 2 domes did. Overall area could be picked up a bit. And the cabin we stayed in might need fans provided for future hot (global warming) days. The host was delightful.

The equipment of the tent is getting on in years. The barbecue in front of the tent was no longer usable

Check-in was great! Stephane (co-owner with his wife) and their cute dog, Sydney, was there to greet us on our arrival. Catherine (Stephane's daughter) was lovely! She was very helpful with her advice. What a sweetheart! Stephane was very accommodating as he escorted us to our dome site and he helped us start our campfire because we hadn't done that before! We took the kayaks (no extra cost - included in our stay) out for a paddle in the morning and it was so beautiful and peaceful! Nice way to start your morning! Everyone is so friendly at Blue Bayou Resort and make you feel at home.

This place is beautiful. If you are not in to full-on camping, this place is for you. Bring some plates, utensils, small cooler with a few supplies and you should be good to go. The owner was incredibly friendly, making us feel so welcome. He told us about some hidden gems like a beach and a trail in the area. The domes look beautiful at night. Serene area, no motor boats, we had the whole bay to ourselves. The water was great for swimming. Kids loved jumping off the dock. Our package included the kayaks and canoes, which was a huge plus.

We booked for one of the domes. It's pleasant, if cheaply furnished. The dome is heated with a space heater which makes is quite cosy. We booked for a lake view but didn't get one as it was almost completely blocked by trees when others had clear sight. Tiny towels are unusable, so take your own. Bed is comfy but has very odd bedding, certainly not cotton. We saw plenty of small wildlife such as squirrels and chipmunks and lots of jellyfish in the crystal clear lake. Sadly, the lawned area is covered in dog poo with no effort made to pick it up. Little thought has been given to the overall experience for the guest. Such a shame as it could be really beautiful with a bit more effort.
Mark, 2-night trip

They have 2 queen bed dome but there is no door or curtain for washrom area which was really inconvinient if 4 adults sharing dome. Also door opens on washroom side so it will be an issue if someone changing in that area. If there is curtain or door for washroom, it will solve both the problems.

6/10 Good

It was a really cool experience to stay in the dome but I definitely did not find the place to be luxurious like it was advertised to be. It was a very bare minimum dome. There were only one towel per person, no towel to stand on after showering so that the floor didn’t get soaked. The bed was not comfy at all very hard and only one pillow per person. There were no dishes except two mugs in the dome, nothing to cook with outside and being at the top of the Cabot trail there was not much in the way of getting food either. There isn’t even a fridge to keep the food cold that we did take, thank god they sold ice to keep it cold. Also the owners have a dog but don’t follow their own rule of keeping dogs on leash. Their dog was intimidating our dog a few times when we were trying to take him out to use the washroom so we felt we couldn’t even have our dog outside with us when we had a fire one night.

Can you be just “whelmed”?

If you compare this to typical tent camping, it is a nice accommodation. If you are expecting a five star luxury glamping experience, this is probably not the property for you. We were happy to enjoy the camping amenities such as the fire pit that was near our tent. We were able to borrow lawn chairs and a hot dog roasting stick from the office which was nice. We had expected a regular amount of towels comparable to a hotel room, which is not what we got, so you should probably bring your own if you’d like more than one quite small towel for showering. No bath mat is provided and the shower curtain is quite short which means water goes everywhere, so be careful not to slip and bringing extra towels will also help with that. Bedding was minimalist and the bed itself was somewhat uncomfortable, but far superior to sleeping on a camping mattress or on the ground. A space heater and fan in the tent are nice to have and work well. Most tents do not have any kind of view of the lake and some of the tents are quite close together. If you can get tent 3 where we stayed, it has a larger camp area and more privacy than some of the other sites we noticed. The property has a lot of potential. While we did not get a chance to use them, there are kayaks and SUPs to use which is great. A few more small details (cotton bedding, more towels, bath mat, longer shower curtain) and this would be more comfortable.

We visited over a wet and windy Thanksgiving weekend. The property offers glamping facilities in fascinating white dome tents with your own bathroom, shower and mini kitchen - plus heating. We were very comfortable, slept well and enjoyed our stay. The only thing to beware of is making sure you find open dining facilities or bring your own food. We found a restaurants nearby the first night - but they were closed the second - and the next nearest was 35mins away. I shouldn’t really complain since it is in a remote area and we came for the beautiful scenery - it’s something I wish I knew - just to set expectations
