Lovely location not too far away from things, but still quiet, cozy, and extremely well-maintained. They also have lots of little things to make your stay more comfortable available for purchase or rent in their on-site store (everything from camping basics like ice, to a big wagon full of beach-day essentials!). The owners are extremely kind, and went above and beyond in every way during our stay. I'll definitely be coming back!

We just had the best stay at Red Rock! Owners Paul and Chandra were super helpful and very friendly. Paul especially made sure our stay was going well. Our kids loved that there was a store on site (they had to get candy and Magic Fire almost every day 😆) and a playground. The sites are large and well laid out. The campground is very quiet, which we loved. Birds in the morning and crickets at night. We can't wait to make Red Rock Retreat an annual PEI tradition!

Absolutely fantastic stay! This was my first time staying here, and I honestly kind of didn’t want to go home! The campground is incredibly quiet and peaceful, with generously sized campsites that each come with a fire pit and picnic table. What really stood out to me was how unbelievably clean everything is, especially the bathrooms and showers, which are some of the cleanest I’ve ever seen at a campground. The pool is a fantastic size, and the water temperature is just perfect, refreshing without being too cold. It's a great place for kids too, my 2-year-old had the time of her life here! The owners, Chandra and Paul, clearly care a lot about this place. They’re super accommodating and quick to respond if you need anything. You can tell they’ve put real thought and effort into making the campground welcoming and well-maintained. Highly recommend—I'll definitely be coming back! This place is a true gem and an absolute pleasure to stay at.

We spent a week at Red Rock tent camping mid-June. Paul and Chandra are very kind and helpful. The campground is small and very quiet. Prices are very fair. The tent sites are a nice size and very private. Washrooms are nice and clean. Close to Cavendish. Highly recommend!
