As far as a place to park your rig and see Prince Edward Island, this is great. This is a typical KOA campground. Wi-Fi is sporadic, but if you use it off-peak, it is ok. A lot for the kids to do and a lot going on. We were here during several days of thunder storms. The roads flooded frequently. They even brought in gravel to fill some large mud holes. Pull through site was very roomy. There is no cable TV and limited broadcast. Some sites along the woods have the satellite blocked out. Since you are so far north, the dish points almost horizontal. There is a State Park nearby, but it will not accomodate big rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great campsite if you have children, however, for older folks with less tolerance for many kids... it's a zoo. We are moving to another campsite because of the noise and close campsites jammed together. As stated by another review, having to renew the wifi access every 24 hours seems customer unfriendly. The campsite is close to many activities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It is a standard KOA, very close to Cavendish activities. Highly recommend Avonlea (Anne of Green Gables), you can stay there all day and has a great afternoon tea! As for the KOA, it has a jumping pillow and a daily kids program from 9-11. The only complaint is that you have to get a new WiFi code every 24 hours, which is a pain! We camped here in a Motorhome.
First KOA I've stayed in in 20 years. Beautiful and exceptionally well maintained. Grounds immaculate. Since this was the off season, CG staff spaced out campers nicely. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is probably the nicest KOA we've ever stayed in. It has excellent 50 amp power and as noted previously it is clean and well cared for. There seems to be a site for everyone here. Lots of tents around the perimeter and all sizes of RV's . Lots of children but it's not noisy. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Huge back in and pull through sites. Located near Ann of Green Gables sites, and central location on PEI provides easy access to sites all over the Island. Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent WiFi throughout campground. One of the best KOA Kampgrounds. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If only all KOA's were as clean and nice as this one! Owners very pleasant and accommodating. The pool is heated but the air temp makes it a bit cool to get out. Our motorhome had plenty of room and 50 amp service. The grass site is well manicured and does not have bare spots, how do they do that ? We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We debated staying at this one or at Marco Polo, just for one night. This one was fine. Wifi was excellent and free although our access was cut off promptly at 9 am the next morning, even though we could stay until 10 or 11. Sites are a little close together. All appeared to be full hookup. Several caravans were there at the same time -- all sizes of rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lovely park, wonderful hospitality, great location (can walk to Tim Hortons-doesn't get better than that!!). The kids loved the pie/ice cream social, treasure hunt hayride, and petting zoo (I almost came home with a kitten!!) I loved the security, quiet and water/30amp/sewer. Staff was great with suggestions of things to see and best beaches to swim at. Highly recommend it. We were going for two nights and ended up re-scheduling relatives to stay a third and wish we could have stayed longer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is a solid average KOA which maintains the KOA standard of cleanliness, facilities and friendliness. It’s located a quarter mile from the highway, so there’s no road noise. Close to the well developed Cavendish Beach area, it’s convenient to shopping, water sports and lobster dinners. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites in section "F" are large, fairly level, and are full hookup with cable TV. As this time of the year it's very close to their closing time. The park was not very busy, so we had our pick of numerous sites. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Would stay here again. But must say that on our next visit to Prince Edward Island, we will more than likely choose a park elsewhere, so that we may visit another area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Camped here for a week (Jun 27-Jul4) and really enjoyed ourselves. We were in the "B" loop on site #34. Very large sites, grassy, roads were both gravel and paved. Excellent Wi-Fi reception and we had cable TV. Restrooms & showers were somewhat outdated but very clean. Close to all activities and attractions in Cavendish. We would definitley camp here again. Very helpful staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at this campground during a long holiday weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The park wasn't too overcrowded and the area where we parked wasn't a high-traffic area. There were plenty of children around but for the most part they were mindful of traffic through the park. It is advertised as a family park but it still was comfortable for a party of five adults. There are nice fire pits available at every site. Hookups for a tent trailer were not in the most convenient locations as they were at the edge of the site amongst some trees. We will camp again! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We were told by many people that this was the campground to stay in Cavendish. It is definitely not an adult park. This park is for young people with children. The place is full of children on bikes, who do not care about cars coming and going. I usually do not mind if there are scads of children, but these seemed to be unruly. The sites are large and level, but we did not find the check-in staff friendly or helpful. They could not provide any information regarding propane for your RV or answer other questions about the area. There is an information center a few miles away and they are very helpful. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice campground. The sites are very wide and room to pull the tow vehicle on the site. The sites are grass, level and terraced at many. We use a 30am site, water was good. Sewer was in a bad place. It was almost under the trailer when we first pulled into the site. Wi-Fi access points were plentiful, and accessible. Only problem many of them would not connect to the internet. We had to go to the laundry to get on the internet. I ended up going to a laundry a couple of miles away and got on the internet through a motel close by. Roads are single lane and cause a problem when someone else is going the other way. Both of us have to drive partway off the road. There are nice trees around many of the campsites. Only problem is they are so close it is difficult to pull into the site. We stayed here a week and would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We spent an entire month at Marco Polo Land and enjoyed the campground very much. We have a 45' motorhome and there was more than ample room for us with lots of elbow room. We have stayed at hundreds of campgrounds across the US and Canada and this one is truly excellent. Very good attention to detail and maintenance is obvious throughout the park. Very conveniently located in Cavendish and a very nice family oriented park with lots to do for the kids. We heard nothing but positive comments from others here as well. We highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground was very well kept but we found it very large with tight security. Our site was very nice but not as secluded as we would have liked. The pool was great and the location close to Cavendish beach was nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed in the big trailer section, sites were HUGE and quiet. Pull-up was a breeze and hook ups were good. Because of demographic in our section, the area was really quiet. Nearby showers were hot even after 10am and were clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a large campground located within 2 kms from the Cavendish Beach. Tent sites are large with good tree coverage. Facilities are clean and hot water for showered. Has areas for kids away from general population. Staff are friendly, good knowledge about the sites to fit your needs. A+ We camped here in a Tent.
Stayed in a pull-thru wooded site # 239. Not very level. Also near a wind generator, loud on windy days. Sites #276-304 more level and closer to water for pull-thru all services. The park did have laundry machines. Very beautiful area w/ red dunes, cliffs and beaches. Cavendish area is definitely more commercialized, especially for PEI. Nice vacation town with many things to do. We were there during Hurricane Bill, while the wind blew hard, near the ground it was fairly calm in the camping grove. We rode the ferry from NS over to the island on a beautiful day (free going over) and drove off the island over the Confederation Bridge ($ 56.00) on another beautiful day. PS rate does not include park pass. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful park in a beautiful location. The full-hookup sites (called 3-way, or fully serviced in Canada) are all in a wooded area, pull through, large & private. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in this area. Cavendish has more "touriste shoppes" than the rest of PEI--due to "Anne of Green Gables" but compared with Myrtle Beach in North Carolina, you are in the middle of nowhere. We were expecting a dreadfully commercialized area and were very surprised at how low key it really is. The shore drive in the park down to Rustico Harbor is breathtaking. We definitely will return here. WiFi is available for free at the nearby PEI NP Visitor Center. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We actually stayed here in August 2006, and it was a good experience. The park is clean and pretty, with an excellent beach for walking. We had a pull-thru site that looked out over a salt marsh (very pretty), and it had both water and electric. Cavendish is a little too commercial for our tastes, but the park is centrally located and provides reasonable access to both sides of the Island. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped in two different types of sites: electric in the woods, and no hookups on the ocean. There are some full hookup sites as well. There are a few sites directly on the ocean that can accommodate small motorhomes, trailers, or 5th wheels, although they have no hookups. Most sites on the ocean are for tents. We were lucky to be able to move into one of them for the last 3 nights of our stay (our motorhome is 24'). Sunrise AND sunset views. The restrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. Couldn't ask for anything more in a national park campground. Would definitely stay here again. Not sure why anyone would pick a KOA over this. We camped here in a Motorhome.
