The best camping in Prince Edward Island with swimming

·

On Prince Edward Island, you’ll find over 20 campsites where you can walk from your tent straight to the water. Swimming is the main draw here, whether it’s a dip in the ocean or a splash in a sheltered inlet. The average spot costs $51 a night, but you can nab a site for as little as $40 if you book early. Most campsites let you bring your dog, light a campfire, and guarantee a toilet that isn’t just a hole in the ground. Fishing and hiking are easy add-ons to your day between swims. Locals swear by Summer Winds (62 reviews), The Red Fox Campground (21 reviews), and Red Rock Retreat Campground (7 reviews)—all spots where salty air and quick water access are standard. Pack quick-dry gear and keep an eye out for red sand between your toes; it’ll be there for days.
