This is an exceptional spot for off-grid camping. It is peaceful, secluded and with an amazing view across the river. Chris is a friendly host, with whom we had a great chat and learned about his family history on the land. Highly recommended!

The point of the point is the view, as there is no cell service [though they do hope to remedy that issue], and no washrooms. That said Chris and his mother were wonderful and hospitable. The view is jaw dropping, and that alone is worth the stay. Also an amazing place to get away from everything.

had a fantastic stay at this campground in PEI! The facilities were exceptionally clean, and site #10 was in the perfect location—just the right distance from the pool and directly across from the washrooms. Cora and David were incredibly friendly, helpful, and made our stay even better. Highly recommend!

Spacious site, our mid-size pop-up fit with more than enough room to spare.

Summer Winds was a well laid out campground with lots of exploring allowed at both the property and area. Located about 40 minutes from Charlottetown made a fun afternoon trip. Our kids loved the fact that our spot (#19) was facing the playground and the saltwater pool was a huge hit. Washroom and showers were kept clean and comfortable— the water was hot! Everyone we spoke to was friendly and inviting making it a spot we will have to return to one day. Thanks for hosting!

Loved our tent camping experience at Summer Winds, great showers and bathrooms, easily accessible logs for campfires. Owners were great even when we checked in at 8pm after the office closed, they got back to me quick over messaging and even sent a picture of the map for the campground! Beautiful spot-can’t wait to come back next year!
