White on White at the bayou. Terrence sent me some pictures the other day. Looks awesome. Maybe I’ll have some of these domes available for winter booking in the future, the cost to make them winter accessible was just not in our kick start budget. They would need pellet stoves and figure a way to have pipes deep enough in the ground to prevent from freezing. That would mean that I would need a different system for hot water also.
Back home, new haircut and loving my girls 🥰. If some of you wondered why Blue Bayou... well here’s the reason...
Today I got the chance to try the zip line at Mountain Pine Adventures for the first time. Terrence has plans to expand and make them super long for sometime next year. We will fill you in on it when the projects starts. It will be HUGE... over 2000 feet both ways. It will be the longest one in the maritime for sure and definitely top 5 in Canada... I need to do my research but I’m confident that it will be one of the longest one in Canada. Can’t wait to try it 🤪.
Last few days at the Bayou and this guy will be heading back home to be with his girls again. Missing my girls but will also be missing them amazing views we get here at the bayou. This place always amazes me in times like these. Year one was a successful year, I couldn’t ask any better.
Fall colours at Blue Bayou Resort. Last week before shutting down for the winter. When the last guests leaves on Thursday Morning October 24 we will have Season One of Blues Bayou Resort officially done. 2019 was a very memorable but somewhat a little crazy year at the Bayou. We came here me and my beautiful partner Shanshan and we work relentlessly under a tight schedule but we conquered. Our first year was a success and we could’ve done it without everyone that was involved in this project.
We are working on having 6 more domes for a total of 23 domes next year. The biggest dome glamping campground in North America will be even bigger next year!!! We will also introduce 8 RV sites that will be fully serviced with 30 amp service. We will still have our 3 Tipis for a total of 32 sites... actually 33 sites BECAUSE We will also have another glamping idea that we will introduce next year. It’s a secret for now... we are very excited about it though and we anticipate growing on that idea also. We are working on making Blue Bayou Resort the Best Campground with the best camping accommodation on the market. In the glamping world, it’s hard to beat a geodome and we will make them even better. 2020 will be an exciting year here at the bayou.

Celtic colour festival is just around the corner. You still have time to book a stay at the Blue Bayou Resort...
The artists that came at Blue Bayou Resort. I got this beautiful painting from one of our guest yesterday and the bird sculpture from another guest in late August. This really opened my eyes on how devoted our guests are. TWO masterpieces...
Enjoying a late September day at the bayou. Can’t ask for a better day than this at this time of year.
I wouldn’t consider myself a good hunter. A big moose went right pass the house and into the harbour and I was to slow to pick up the phone to film the event. Ah! Well got a little glimpse of it swimming in the harbour.
I forgot to upload this video yesterday. Ah well... Yesterday at Blue Bayou Resort. I did find an old horseshoe.
A beautiful night at the Bayou. Probably going to go out and strum my 6 chords soon enough around one of my camper’s campfire. 🎸
It’s a great night at the Blue Bayou Resort.
The Bayou Boys cutting trees to make way for more domes next year. They will be more secluded in the woods. We have the room may as well use it.
One year ago today I took this video. Only in Nova Scotia you will hear the bagpipes while canoeing on the water.
Starting tomorrow September the 18th till we close for the season, book a two nights stay during the week (Sunday to Thursday) on our website and get Kayak excursions for two for FREE. Come see the land where John Cabot made a stand, where the mountains turns to sand at the Blue Bayou Resort.
Share this with your friends. South Harbour is a great place for a kayak excursion.

Blue Bayou Resort 1st year Anniversary.
T'was one year ago Today that we took possession of this beautiful property that was transformed into Blue Bayou Resort. Here is a before and after pictures, the first one was taken before we started this beautiful project. Now we have 17 domes in Total and 3 Tipis.
A year ago, Blue Bayou Resort was Only a Dream that never Faded away. I was set to undertake a project that would take a lot of hard work and determination. When I got here on September 15, 2018... I came here with a kubota tractor ,a dump trailer and a chainsaw. We started right away clearing up spots for these domes and I was carefully planning this campground one lot at a time.
It's with my restless determination and with the support from my lifetime partner Shanshan that made our first season (still on the go) a very successful one. All the work she was doing in the background and the forefront while being here all summer and taking care of all the booking and helping with the rooms changeover of the domes that made it all possible for us to succeed. I couldn't have done this without you Babe. I'm a MAN because of this Woman's support.
Now, a year later, Blue Bayou resort is North America's biggest Geodome Resort and will be for years to come because we allowed ourselves plenty of room to grow. They say that Rome wasn't built in a day but I would have most definitely impress the Old Roman Empire with what was done here before we Opened last June.
We're slowly getting back into construction mode to get some new lots cleared for next year. Things will keep on happening here at the Bayou.

The Blue Bayou Resort bloopers. #bestcampingadventures #destinationcapebreton #glampingnotcamping #heartofthehighlands If your dome is rocking don’t come knocking. 😂
New main attraction at #heartofthehighlands Blue Bayou Resort. Created by #hurricanedorian . It’s the #geodomes #fallingtrees exhibit. I’m surprised that no one from #cbcnews hasn’t come here yet. Nonetheless, these #geodesicdomes are the #bestglampingtents ever in existence. I mean it.

Dorian aftermath... In conclusion, I rate the domes as a safe place to be in during a storm. Domes are the safest glampng tent on the market. One of my domes got to be tested last night...😳
Dorian update... The domes are standing tall at Blue Bayou Resort. Probably a little more work tomorrow but nothing this man cannot handle.
Dorian update #2 5h00 September 7. Maybe I should bring my beer and vodka in Dome #1 tonight. I could also bring my guitar. Lol
These are amazing structures, I’m fully confident that they’ll easily survive this storm.

Dorian update. For those who are wondering how are things now at the Blue Bayou Resort in South Harbour NS.
We’re getting ready for Dorian. Taking all the picnic tables and bbqs in and also taking the Tipis down. All the kayaks and canoes are in the shed, we’re anchoring her down because she’s supposed to be “bologna a Gale” a Cape Breton saying that means that it’s going to be very windy 🌬.
Someone just sent me the Nova Scotia Hurricane to do list. I just need to stock up on Vodka I presume, looks like I’ll be ok thereafter. 🤪
