This was everything we hoped it would be. Unique, private, clean, well equipped as it should be and convenient to the North coast for all the beauty and wilderness it has to offer. Everything worked except for the weather which no one can control. When I come back to Cape Breton, I will be booking Blue Bayou again and well in advance since it will soon be a must for thousands of Cabot Trail visitors throughout the season.

Nice “glamping” experience. We had never done this kind of vacation but found it to be comfortable and easy Stephane is a great host and in process of major upgrades to the geodesic domes. Probably will be even better in 2026!

Unique accommodation in a lovely local location

This is a unique place to stay, and set on a beautiful lake/calm water. The dome was great, 2 beds for the 4 of us, a great bathroom area, and another small area with a sink, kettle and some mugs. A fridge, or even communal fridge would have been a bonus, although we could hire a cool box with ice to help keep our food cool. Kayaks and SUPs are free to hire which is great along with like jackets, a real plus. Whilst there, they were working on building more pods, so not quite as peaceful as it could be with the work going on, but not a massive issue.

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!

The experience does not quite align with the concept of luxury glamping, as the property is currently undergoing renovations that detract from its initial appeal. While check-in was straightforward and the option to choose a dome was a thoughtful addition, the absence of a welcome pack—such as washing up liquid and cloth—was noticeable. Although the bed was spacious, the overall atmosphere lacked warmth and felt uninviting. In summary, the facility is in need of significant updates to enhance its appeal

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

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.

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.

Nice place. Clean. If you stay 2 nights you can use the kayaks and canoes and paddle boards. Girls had fun jumping off the dock into the water. Would definitely go again.

Such a tranquil & restful spot. Currently a work in progress. The access roads about the property need attention. The new geo-domes (permanent materials including glass) are amazing, they even include AC & constant hot water! The water sports equipment was in good working order & very much appreciated. A larger office welcoming guests which offered common camping foods & consumables etc would be very welcome & perhaps a nice little income stream - it wouldn't need to be open all day? With time & further work this place is gonna be a solid 5 stars!

The staff and owner were really great! We stayed for 2 nights and they helped us with getting kayaking ready. There are two issues we had, one was we didn’t realize how cold it gets at night (even in July). We stayed in an older plastic dome so it felt more like a tent. Make sure you bring winter PJs/extra layers. The other matter was outside of our control. The shower area drained towards the toilet so everything was wet after a shower. Aside from these two things everything else was amazing. I definitely want to come back but maybe stay in the hard domes with a kitchenette.
