Camping

Coronavirus (COVID-19) impacts

Starting on June 22, we will gradually reopen camping facilities starting with select self-registration camping areas with limited capacity.
Additional camping will reopen in phases, at reduced occupancy, throughout June and July.
Plan ahead and be prepared for a different experience than you experienced when visiting Parks Canada places in the past.
At this time, Parks Canada will not be taking any walk-in reservations for the 2020 season.
There will also be no roofed accommodations for the 2020 season. This includes both oTENTik and equipped camping.
New reservations will open at Cape Breton Highlands National Park starting at 8:00 a.m. ADT on July 13, 2020. Same day reservations are being accepted until 2:00 p.m. ADT on day of arrival. Not all services or facilities are open, so please see details below before you reserve.
