We have stayed at two campgrounds in Baddeck. Baddeck Cabot Trail had lots of trees if you want shade. Bras d'Or Lakes had no shade but was closer to the town of Baddeck.
The Alexander Graham Bell museum in Baddeck was much more than we had expected.
As far as driving the Cabot Trail, I don't recall anything at all steep until we got to Cape Breton Highlands National Park a few miles north of Cheticamp. On the other side, the climb and descent over Mt. Smokey between Wreck Cove and Ingonish Beach was the first steep section.
Please remember that the highest point on Cape Breton Island is only about 1,750 feet. Not the Rockies at all. The grades are short, not miles after miles. No comparison with Pikes Peak.
Don't miss Fortress Louisborg while in the area!
