Camping in Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island's camping geography is anchored by two coastlines — the warm-water North Shore (Cavendish, Brackley, Stanhope) and the quieter South Shore on the Northumberland Strait — plus the eastern beaches and the Western/Tyne Valley region. Private campgrounds concentrate heavily in the Cavendish corridor, where Anne of Green Gables tourism, PEI National Park beaches, and the most established family-resort properties cluster within a small geographic area.

Season runs late May to mid-October, peaking in July and August. Cavendish-area campgrounds frequently book six to eight months in advance for the peak window. The Confederation Bridge connects PEI to New Brunswick; the toll is collected only on departure from the island.
