Introduction
For families looking to explore an area that is rich in beauty, culture, and fun, you can't beat taking your RV on a trip to Cape Breton Island's Mira River Provincial Park. Rated one of Canada's most desirable tourist destinations, Cape Breton, an island connected to mainland Nova Scotia by a causeway, is well-renowned for its rugged beauty and warm hospitality. Heavily influenced by the Gaelic culture, Cape Breton is an area with well-established Celtic roots which is reflected in everything from the area's music and style to its food and more.
Mira River Provincial Park is located in the small and quaint community of Albert Bridge which rests directly along the banks of the famous Mira River. The campground is removed from the hustle and bustle of city life found just 22 km (14 miles) away at the island's capital city of Sydney which offers many more urban attractions including world class restaurants, entertainment venues, shopping, and more for families to enjoy.
Cape Breton Island was once a bustling center for the coal and steel industries. Today, only one coal mine remains operational with all the other facilities having closed their doors in the early 1980's. The people are as rugged as the landscape, but they are also pleasant and inviting to visitors. The economy of the region has been deeply impacted by the loss of these two vital employers; however, in tribute to the true spirit of Cape Bretoners, the people have soldiered on and made their own way, finding a way to thrive in the midst of hardship. Today, tourism is one of the area's most vibrant industries.
The scenery is breathtaking with the landscape awe-inspiring and extremely diverse. The land is reminiscent of the rolling hills of Scotland and Ireland, countries whose settlers made the area their home in years gone by. The island's verdant, mountainous terrain rests along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean just outside the seafaring village of Louisbourg, an area which is home to the famous Fortress of Louisbourg, a national historic site which is explored by visitors from all over the world each year.
The living is fine at Mira River Provincial Park, and a visit here will leave you perfectly positioned to enjoy the finest attractions, food, and cultural events in Sydney, Louisbourg, and the surrounding areas. For an unforgettable vacation experience, bring your family for an RV stay at Mira River Provincial Park.
