New Glasgow Highlands Camping & Cabins

Top choice in Prince Edward Island


This lovely wooded campground with well-spaced sites, each with a fire pit, is located in Hunter River, 7km south of New Glasgow. For rainy days there are simple cooking facilities in the lodge. There are also bright cabins, each with two bunks, a double bed, a sofa and a picnic table, but no linens or pillows; bathrooms are shared.

Be sure to book ahead and don't even think about making late-night noise. It's all about the peace and quiet here. There's a laundry, a small store and a mystifying absence of bugs.
