Broad Cove Campground, Cape Breton Highlands National Park

We are camping at Cape Breton Highlands National Park, in Broad Cove Campground. The campground is on the western coast of Cape Breton Highlands.

The campground is not very crowded -- we are here the week preceding Canada Day -- so it will probably be full by this weekend, but we'll be moving on toward Halifax by Thursday. The sites are large and have full hookups -- wish the US National Parks campgrounds were like this! (We generally cannot fit into the campgrounds in US National Parks - built 50+ years ago, they are not configured for big rigs.)

We walked about 1/2 mile down to the coast from our campsite -- looking south down the coastline.

That's the Atlantic Ocean out there -- Newfoundland is a little to the north.

Some of the sites in the campground are equipped with oTENTiks - rental camping accommodations (https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ns/cbreton/activ/camping/oTENTik).

On the way back to Gracie, Carl saw an amateur radio antenna on a neighboring site. The Ham was outside his rig activating this park for Parks on the Air (https://parksontheair.com/). He got a total of 13-14 "hunters" who found him; ten are required to consider the park activated. He had hunters calling in from Michigan, New York, Ontario, Pennsylvania, and as far away as South Carolina. Carl got to chat with him (in person) for a little while.

Back home! We have our sign in our front window rather than putting up the signpost outside -- it is a little easier to just put it in the window when we're just stopping for a few days.

It is cloudy and cool, but no rain currently and no strong winds, and temperatures in the 50Fs, for which we are grateful!
