Staff is very friendly. Impressed with how clean they keep the bathrooms/showers. The campgrounds are very nice. Very close to several beach access points. We probably had the most private spot. We loved it there!

Beautiful campground with an amazing beach. This park is nice and peaceful. If you want crowds and carnival type atmosphere, go to Cavendish Beach.

awful experience, it shares a fence with someones lawn that was being loudly mowed all evening. Fine place to be outside if you don't have a lawn to do it on, terrible place to try and be near nature

You can’t beat the location, right across the road from the beach. Medium crowds at the bottom of the stairs, but if you walk 50+ meters down the beach, you will have the place to yourself! The campsites don’t offer much privacy because of a lot of dead and down trees. It looks like storm damage. However, people were very respectful of quiet hours, and we were gone all day anyway. Only two showers (each, for men and women) plus one accessible shower next to the clothes washers/dryers. 8:00 AM showers required a bit of a wait in line. Early morning was no problem. There is a playground at the entrance if you are traveling with children. Please note there is a daily park entrance fee in addition to the nightly camping fee. Firewood is reasonably priced, at $10.50 CAN for a large bag you fill yourself. There is no fee for the beach. Umbrellas and coolers are allowed. There is no lifeguard.

Staff are friendly and will do their best to help. Originally came here because of a comment that the bathrooms were clean. This is not the case for the showers. Someone needs to give them a brush. The mildew buildup isn't being cleaned when they do their cleaning in the morning. The campground walking paths need to be trimmed since overgrowth is a problem. They seem to be trying to replant trees for privacy within the campground. Problem is a public paths are overgrown and it's easier to cut through an empty campsite than take the actual trail.

Great location across from the beach. Good space between sites and nice facilities for washing, and cleaning dishes. Beaches are beautiful and great place for cycling and exploring other parts of PEI

I love national parks. This is no exception. Not at crowded as Cavendish, more traffic noise, but beautiful beaches and you can still listen to the surf as you sleep.

Beautiful, quiet campground across the street from the beach. New playground and washrooms (2 yrs old). Entry kiosk is brand new with lots of Parks Canada items for sale along with some of the usual camping supplies. This is a great place to relax. It's also with 20 minutes drive to Charlottetown and Cavendish. Bring your bikes - great paved bike path running the length of the park. Also, Robinson's Island offers a great mountain biking opportunity (or hike if you prefer). Enjoy
