It had been rainy, apparently for days, prior to our arrival. Our site (which I selected on line) was extremely wet/soggy and rather tight. It was long enough, but it was difficult to position motorohome to use awning (needed in rain). We moved to another site (went on line with my blackberry because no WiFi) to find which sites were available. That site was much better. Moral: read the site descriptions on line and if possible get additional information. Our original site had "Soft-bed" in the description. I thought that would be good, but not if it's been raining. Other than that the campground was great. It has nice sites, good beach access, hiking and biking paths, and is close to everything. We spent our arrival evening touring other campgrounds and found Cavendish (despite the mud) to be the best place. The only draw back (serious drawback) is no WiFi. But the visitor center (5-9 min drive) has free wifi and computers until 9 pm. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a large campground that was remodeled since the last time we were here and has about 304 sites. A large 3-way section, 2-way and unserviced. They charge more if you have a fire pit. Cost NPS fees to get in and site. Since we were there after Labor Day the NPS fees are dropped and the campsite fee is about $12 cheaper. 2-way $26 about $37 during the summer season. We took an unserviced site with water view for $22. There are evening campfires during the summer with skits, songs, and storytelling about the natural and cultural history of PEI. There are restrooms and showers and laundromat. This campground is in an area with more to do and the new parkway will be finished by 2011 with pullouts and bike trails. The campground itself is not right next to the bike trails like Stanhope was but the Cavendish Beach is right there and this beach is much better than at Stanhope. This campground is very nice now with sites in the woods and others in an open area with views of the ocean and sites are a good size. No problems for those with big RV’s to camp here. There are restrooms with showers throughout the campground. We had rain the day we were here so it was tough but we could sneak in walks around the campground and beach and while in our camper we sat looking out at the sea and beach! In the late afternoon the rains stopped and we had a great sunset and everyone was taking pictures. The next morning what a sunrise especially from our site overlooking the beach. One of the best sunsets and sunrises on the island! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a small campground right across from the Stanhope Beach area. 109 sites 3-way, 2-way and unserviced. They charge more if you have a fire pit. Cost NPS fees to get in and site. Since we were there after Labor Day the NPS fees are dropped and the campsite fee is about $12 cheaper. 2-way $26 about $37 during the summer season. There are evening campfires during the summer with skits, songs, and storytelling about the natural and cultural history of PEI. There are restrooms and showers and laundromat. These sites except for some of the unserviced and 3 way ones can be very unlevel. The new parkway and bike trail along the parkway is very nice and level for riding. Close to beaches, hikes and local villages. Easy walk to parkway, bike trails and beach. Sites not good for large RV’s. We camped here in a Motorhome.
