Happy Campers
Rent an oTENTik and be a happy camper
Campers dreaming of summer vacations and warmer weather can make reservations for camping in P.E.I. National Park.
Both Cavendish and Stanhope campgrounds are less than 100 metres from P.E.I. National Park beaches, trails and interpretive programs. The campgrounds have been upgraded recently to accommodate more tent-trailers, small campers and larger RVs. There have also been improvements to washroom facilities, entrance kiosks, roads, and the addition of new oTENTiks and playgrounds.
There will be free admission for all visitors to national parks, national historic sites, and national marine conservation areas operated by Parks Canada in 2017 to celebrate Canada’s 150 years of being a country. However, camping fees still apply. Reservations can be made online at www.reservations.parkscanada.gc.ca or by phone at 1-877-RESERVE (1-877-7373783).
