Corney Brook is a very small, 22-site campground on the Atlantic shore, 15 km north of Chéticamp along the Cabot Trail. It’s a simple coastal stay with the ocean close to camp; choose it for shoreline time and surf, not for hookups or a full-service base.

What you getAll sites are unserviced.

All sites are unserviced. Parks Canada lists one washroom building with flush toilets and fire pits, but no potable water on site, so bring drinking water. Camping is first come, first served. Arrive earlier if choosing a particular site matters; some campers find the sites close together, so privacy can be limited.

Make time for the coastOcean swimming and hiking are nearby.

Ocean swimming and hiking are nearby. The shoreline setting and the sound of surf are what make this a distinctive overnight stop. It operates seasonally, so check current dates before planning a stay.
