Red Point
Overview
Red Point Provincial Park is a cherished destination on Prince Edward Island, known for its striking coastline and relaxed maritime atmosphere. As one of the island's most popular provincial parks, it offers a classic coastal camping experience that highlights the natural beauty of the Points East Coastal Drive. Visitors are often drawn to the park for its stunning red sandstone cliffs and the rhythmic sounds of the Northumberland Strait.
Location & Surroundings
Perched on the eastern end of the island near the town of Souris, the park sits atop a high bluff overlooking a beautiful beach. The surrounding landscape is defined by rolling farm fields and rugged shorelines. Its location makes it an ideal base for exploring the eastern coast, offering a quieter alternative to the more crowded central regions of the island while maintaining easy access to local services and scenic drives.

Nice park with views of the ocean from most parts of the park. Very clean. Easy access to the beach with lifeguards. Would not recommend the kids activity center. First day we went to check it out, we caught a teenage boy napping with the door closed. Second day when we stopped by, the door was closed again and there were three older teens sitting in the dark on their phones. The room was messy and extremely inviting. It was weird and did not seem like there was any plan for children. I would not feel comfortable leaving my kids there. Would we come back to camp? Heck yes. Would we swim? You better believe it. Would my kids enjoy the activity room? Heck no.

This is a great campground located on the beach. There are a lot of families here, and it has been fun watching the kids all play outside. The prices are reasonable. It is quiet here at night, and everyone seems to obey the speed limits. The laundry room has three washers and three dryers. There was one washer and one dryer out of order. The washing machines take forever to fill, so be prepared to wait and wait and wait. There are no rules about having large mats out. Some campers stay long enough to completely kill the grass under the mat. Then, when the next camper comes in, they have to deal with mud (if he has rained) or dirt. There needs to be a rule: No mats on the grass. One strange thing about this campround that I've never seen before is the way some sites have to be back into like one normally would, but then in the next site you have to be parallel with the street, and backed up to the power pedestral. It makes for a strange parking situation (see picture that I included as an example. It appears that there are seasonal campers here, as evidenced by wooden porches and steps in place. It's not a problem. Everyone here was super nice.

Ii witness a sunset and a sunrise and both were breath taking , highly recommend the place for families specifically who have kids cuz there's a playground near it . However there's no washroom or shower and the only way to access the beach is the stairs.

August 17, 2021 Positive point; the campsite is well maintained - Negative points; The facilities (2 for everyone) the showers as well as the laundry room are together so more hot water for the shower it is frozen, you have to go to the other building, there is only very hot water. HOT, so obsolete the plumbing since the construction I think, I could not adjust to the desired temperature, I arrived around 10:30 am, I ask to have a fireplace to make a fire there was none on the land, the lady tells me that the fire index is extreme so no fireplace no problem because it was indicated on the large sign at the entrance, in the evening I walk on the campsite and many campers made a fire , the employees didn't say anything, very disappointed because I wanted to cook on the fire! The play facilities for the kids are just as old as the Internet and for one device only and it is slow. The narrow beach, compared to Basin Head Park, is full of seaweed and there are jellyfish, you shouldn't touch them because they burn our skin, but that's not because of the camping!
