If you want to explore PEI, this is a convenient location from which to do it. And it’s a national park, so that alone is enough to get you here. From a big rig perspective, pullthru sites are long enough, but narrow. Most of them offer good privacy. Hookups were in good condition, no problems there. We didn’t use bathrooms, but did try to use laundry which is very well used. That has to be a challenge for the park to maintain. If you are in a small rig, you can choose a site closer to beach but you won’t have much privacy. 2019 hurricane really did a number, check out the before and after photos I included, showing the pullthru site we were on. Loved the beach area, such a wonderful park experience.

So picturesque sunsets and sunrises here, beautiful shoreline, amazing waves. But be prepared for the fact that there is almost no privacy, just a couple of trees on all sides. If you book a cabin like we did, make sure to have small grill or stove to prepare some meals, there is no grill on the side.

Beautiful beach. Campsite impeccably clean with well maintained fire pit and picnic table. Quiet. Good playground for kids -lots of fun. Facilities are well maintained and very clean. When you enter campsite, lots of dead wood and rather small trees. I believe this is the result of a hurricane a few years ago. I would still recommend - we had a small camper and got a site by the beach :). Lots of seashell on beach! P.s. Staff is amazing! When we got to our site around 4pm, the previous camper had not left, tent still on site. Not sure what staff did but when we returned around 6pm, tent was no longer there without any issues for us.

This is a great place to camp. We had all the hookups for our Airstream. The sunset walks on the beach were amazing. The campground is close to the Cavendish area attractions.

Over good spot but you can tell the park took a big hit from the last two storms, not much privacy and higher winds then before. We had to take our tent down and leave two days early cause the site was too windy. There was also no wood to purchase at the park so make sure to come prepared. Bathrooms were overall really clean!
