North Sydney / Cabot Trail KOA Reviews

I try to stay in KOAs every time I camp with my family. I've been all over Canada and have tried many many KOAs. I've always trusted KOAs. I love KOA: cean, organized, consistent like a true brand. But not this KOA! The front office, where you check in, is a dump. Smells like mildew. Outdated facilities. A sad park for kids. This place needs a major update. Only positive: close to the cabot trail.

Campsite is not welcoming, no firepit on site must go across the street, cannot make fire before 7pm. Only two showers for entire site, old boats and junk laying around the entrance, very little ‘KOA’ stuff to do for the kids and no pool. No typical KOA that we expected. It should not have the KOA name.

One of the most amazing site in Nova Scotia we have been to. Great location, not too far away from Sydney and incredible view on sea and bridge

Unique campground, great customer service! Will be back for sure.

Absolutely great staff/owners.

Beautiful view by the water and lots of space on the site. Limited washroom but we had it to ourselves so it worked out. Great location to drive the Cabot Trail.

We only stayed for one night, which is unfortunate because this site was very well maintained, and had some great amenities available. We were able to get to the playground with the kids, but were too late for the mini putt. The bathrooms were very clean. The garbage/recycling area was well sorted. The backdrop of the rock cliff and lake were great scenery. Would definitely recommend.

The office is not inviting and lacks a camp store but the site was great and had a terrific view.

The owners are very friendly and helpful.

It was so clean, friendly staff. Very cool looking place.

The manager was fantastic , we recommend to KOA 2-3 improvements : stairs with a hand rail in between each trailers landing, solar lights each ends of the little trailers roads , fire camps aside each RV

Nice level sites with plenty of room for any size equipment

Clean facilities. Good campsite.

Like se need before ferry.

Staff are super friendly. The cabins and facilities were clean and in awesome condition. Fire wood was on the wet side which made campfires a challenge but the dog park to let my puppy run off leash was an huge bonus. Overall a great camping experience!

We stayed here twice, once on the 13th of July on our way to NewFoundland and on the way back on the 27th of July. Our first stay was great, pull through site with no issues. On the return journey there was no pull through site available, so I had to un-hook my car dolly which is a pain, however I did. Now the site was one of most un-even sites I have ever setup on.
