Campgrounds and RV parks near Kingston, PE

Kingston sits in central Queens County on Prince Edward Island, roughly midway between Charlottetown and the north-shore beaches around Cavendish. That central position puts most of PEI's best-known campgrounds within a 30 to 45 minute drive, which makes it a practical base for an RV trip covering both the capital region and the Green Gables Shore. The area's camping options span federally run, provincially run, and private grounds. Prince Edward Island National Park operates Cavendish and Stanhope campgrounds on the north shore, and the province runs a network of provincial park campgrounds. Nearby private options include New Glasgow Highlands Campground, Cornwall / Charlottetown KOA Holiday, Cymbria Tent and Trailer Park, Vacationland RV Park and Family Campground, and White Sands Cottages and Campground. Most sites offer some mix of unserviced, two-way, and three-way hookups, with pull-throughs available at the larger private parks for bigger rigs. New Glasgow Highlands, for example, is set on a wooded property with serviced sites that can accommodate a range of RV sizes.

Reservations for Prince Edward Island National Park run through the Parks Canada Reservation Service, with the seasonal launch typically taking place in mid to late winter. Popular sites at Cavendish and Stanhope, especially oTENTiks and full-service RV sites, can sell out quickly after launch, so it pays to be ready when the queue opens. Provincial park sites book through the PEI Parks reservation portal at peiprovincialparks.ca, with the 2026 launch set for April 15 at 9:00 a.m. AST. Private parks including New Glasgow Highlands Campground, Cornwall / Charlottetown KOA Holiday, Cymbria Tent and Trailer Park, Vacationland RV Park and Family Campground, and White Sands Cottages and Campground take reservations directly through their own websites or phone lines. For July and August, booking several months ahead is recommended.
