This spot is beautiful, clean, and just what you need for a camping experience. We stayed in the A-frame cabin, which was lovely! You may want to bring your own bedding and pillows (although they did provide linens, pillows, and blankets), for extra comfort. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the location is gorgeous! Thanks for a relaxing stay!

We had a great stay at Highlands Campground in New Glasgow, PEI. The facilities were spotless, thanks to hardworking staff. The cabin was clean, spacious, and simple, with bunk beds and a queen bed. You bring your own dishes and small appliances, which worked fine for us.
The campground has a saltwater pool and is popular with young families in peak season, but during our off-season visit it was peaceful and quiet. The location made it easy to explore the whole island. Highly recommended for a clean and convenient base on Prince Edward Island.

We showed up to find that they did not receive our reservation from Expedia.
They were booked solid so the owner called other customers who had yet to arrive and Somehow managed to accommodate us in a cabin.
Nice little cabin with a water view.
Very Quiet location.
