This was one of the original homesteads in the Margarees. There was an old sawmill on site which was used to build the house and barn. It was sold to a man who started renovations for a summer house but ended up listing it for sale. I purchased it and completely renovated the 100-year-old house. Shortly after, my brother and I started an outfitting company with no plan of building a campground, but in 2017 we saw a great opportunity for building something unique. We wanted to keep a backwoods camping feel, but yet create it around a hostel-inspired environment. We launched June 1, 2018 and are in full swing now. We look forward to meeting you and will help you out in any way to make your trip here something to remember. Adventure awaits at this eco-camping hostel offering a natural setting, overlooking a picturesque valley. This location offers close to off-grid camping with a twist of comfort; furnished Glamping tents, sleeping up to 4 people per tent on a queen bed with twin camping beds for extra guests. Cooking gear, bedding, and towels are provided. Each tent, located at this eco-hostel, has its own campfire pit, with a solar outdoor shower on site and beautiful views of the river valley.

Lee's land, what he's accomplished, and his future plans for it, is wonderful. I had the camping area entirely to myself, because of the time of year I was there, which I thoroughly enjoyed... not to mention the hot shower! I have to say I wasn't too fond of his coffee though lol. Also had good conversation, and swapped a few stories. I learned things of interest about the area, and knowing I'm an artist he directed me to some nice places to see on my way up the Cabot Trail. I would definitely go back. He'd likely put me to work if I did, but I would bring my own coffee :-) Thanks Lee. Remember to keep pedaling.

The place is amazing, with everything you might need! The shower is hot (very!), there is a sink for the dishes, the fire pits and the camping spots are very neat! Lee was very easy going and gave me plenty of good places to check in Cape Breton!

Sites were clear & clean w fire rings. Staff was nice & helpful with advice on things to see & do. Location next to the Cabot Trail was excellent. Coop down the street was perfect but closed 6p except Thur & Fri ? open until 8p. Hot water for shower never came for me but others said it worked.
