    A really nice camping ground! The campground my boyfriend and I had was near the beach, and hearing the sound of the waves every morning was fantastic! The bathroom and the laundry are immaculate, and we were amazed about it! The reason I took a star off is because the campgrounds are too close to each other, and you have NO PRIVACY! No tree between campground, no nothing!

    Ho My God !! THE place to see the beach in Prince Edward Island... for 34$ and 20$ for Park Pass we got the spot (D85) oceanfront, so beach at literally 33seconds of our place... Clean restroom, all services... very quiet... firewood for 7.50$... love that place.. BUT if you don't like mosquitos... be prepared... a lot BUT a LOT of mosquitos...

    Nice federal campground with power & water services. Free showers with hot water but small and only 2 stalls in the building with lights burned out (don'tgo after 9 pm). There is a laundry but missing most of the washers so unless you have the day to waste waiting, don't bother & go to the village laundry. Two paths to the beach which was sandy and nice.

    Cavendish campground was probably one of the nicest Parks Canada campgrounds ive stayed at, even with the recent loss of trees due to the storm a couple years ago. We stayed in an Otentik facing a forest and lake, with the sounds of ocean waves crashing into the shore always present. The bathroom facilities were clean, numerous, and modern. The only thing I would complain about is the lack of cooking tools provided (pots, pans, kettle) as I don't understand why they'd provide plates and cutlery without a way to cook.

    This campground was also very nice and clean. The best thing about this was that it was right in front of Cavendish Beach. Best place to see sunrise and sunset both. We had enjoyed the beautiful sunset here, photo is also attached. We would visit this place again. Washroom and shower facilities were available.

    Excellent campground with very good amenities. Cavendish Beach is beautiful. There's a nice 6 km cycling trail in forest and by farm land.

    Amazing campground. Very close to the beach. Campsites are good size. Not a lot of privacy, but beautiful and clean. A lot of trails to hiking or biking. Close to Green Gables Museum.

    A wonderful experience for camping. One of the most beautiful sites to camp at, with the beach and ocean in clear view of the tent. Site was clean and larger than expected, and the bathrooms and other amenities were clean and easy to access. Recommended for campers of all experience types, an absolutely stunning experience.

    Very disappointing experience. The campsite : No privacy No shade Small size Sharp gravel (bring a tarp to put under your tent in order not to break the flour of the tent) It is understandable that following Fiona last year, some expectation cannot be met. The real problem is the lack of transparency of park Canada about the campground. There's a difference between stating that there might be some changes since Fiona and being honest about the reality of those changes. For instance the lack of photograph of the campsites is a clear indication of FALSE ADVERTISING ON THE PART OF THE PARK. We are people that camped for 20 years and this was the worst camping we've been to but also one that we had high expectations for since we've heard a lot of good about it. For those thinking of camping in Cavendish skip the experience but instead spend a day walking on the trails which are still nice. For those still considering camping, the best spots we've seen are C001-C003 and C005. Shades and privacy. The toilets are nice as well as the showers. The beaches are also beautiful.

    Worst campsite on a 10 day camping trip. No privacy of sites, no trees or shade, it has stone/gravel for sites and not grass. The burn barrel was way too tall and wood was too wet to get anything going. And I understand that the hurricane did some damage but not having pictures is very misleading, as if we had known what we were getting into, we would have gone elsewhere. Bathrooms and showers were good at least.

    So disappointed with this park 😔 this was going to be the highlight of our two week long trip but instead we stayed just a few hours before leaving. I understand that Hurricane Fiona came through last year and decimated the place which is so sad but there is no excuse for filthy washrooms, blocked sinks and no paper towel in any of the washrooms. This place really needs some government funding and maybe closure to help the place rejuvenate. Such a shame for such a beautiful place. Maybe we'll return in a decade and see how it improves.

    We used to enjoy Cavendish Campgroung very much. But since hurricane Dorian which devastated the campground it is a sad campground. The sites are very narrow, so much that it could scratch your vehicle when pulling in or out. As well, there could be better maintenance of weeds/tall grass on the sites, it would enhance the space for moving around your unit/vehicle. Last, the gravel roads are in very bad shape, almost dangerous for your unit. Cavendish needs some good TLC.

    Writing this as I saw some bad reviews prior to going but ended up staying anyway- Got a non serviced site for the night. No complaints at all! Great location, basically on the beach. The toilets and showers were clean :)

    We drove around the camping area and just kept going. It's in bad shape since the hurricanes and until it grows back or they do some upgrades the campground is not nice. Okay if you just need to stay somewhere of course and have an RV with everything inside. Bike trails look good. Beach is beautiful.

    UNFORTUNATELY...Hurricane Fiona in 2022 truly caused so much devastation at this park, it will take a very long time to recover. There are not a lot of standing trees left. Other than the beautiful views along the shoreline, I was very disappointed in the Park. Most campsites are small, with little if any privacy, and there seemed to be little concern for the noise levels of other campers after quiet time. In addition, many campsites are surrounded by poison ivy. Mine was one of them. As a result, my 2 dogs had to spend most of thier time either in the truck, or in the bed of the truck to keep them safe from it.

    Just amazing. Section D10 D11 D12 will give you the best view, ocean view on the site. Showers and toillette near by. Wonderful sunrise view in August and September from the site.

    Lovely Federal Campground. The beaches are abundant, trails groomed. Walk, bike, I'm sure wheelchair accessible too. There is a laundry mat on site.

    Ocean front camping. Plenty of places to pull in a ebike. Kids will love the playground. Heck there is even yoga during the summer. On of the best bike rides is also right here. Trail starts by the registration building.

    We were pleased with the campground. After reading the Parks Canada information we didn’t know if our slide out would fit in our site, but since Hurricane Dorian there are few trees to interfere with slide outs. Just a short walk to the beach, bathrooms, and laundry. Helpful park Canada staff.
