This was a great camper for our family! Great people to deal with, very friendly. Would recommend 100%!
Chantale R. - Jun 2026
Great communication, nice, clean camper. Tyler was very friendly and accommodating, would definitely rent again!

All previous five star reviews are accurate! Kyle and Connie are lovely people who take the time to ensure you know how to operate all aspects of Sgt Meep. We are total newbies with lots of questions and Kyle patiently answered every one. The RV had absolutely everything we could need, including a spotless, well maintained interior. We are considering a future purchase and they took their time to answer so many additional questions that were totally unrelated to the rental. Good people with a fabulous RV. Thanks for sharing Sgt. Meep with us. Heather & Dave

We truly enjoyed renting Vincent's RV for six nights. It was equipped well beyond our needs. They (Vincent and his lovely wife) thought of everything. We highly recommend their RV for couples, families or individuals who want to experience the beauty of our country in a relaxing nature. Also, for those concerned with never operating an RV... don't worry. The RV is very easy to drive and Vincent does an excellent job explaining how to operate the RV. If you have a question, he is only a friendly call away. We plan to rent the RV again.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Malpeque Bay, PE
How much does an RV rental in Malpeque Bay typically cost?
RV rental in Malpeque Bay is one of the most affordable ways to experience Prince Edward Island's north shore. Travel trailers usually run $90 to $160 CAD per night, Class C motorhomes range from $180 to $290 CAD per night, and campervans average $130 to $200 CAD per night. Peak season runs late June through August, when oyster season and warm Gulf of St. Lawrence waters bring visitors to the bay. For a cheap RV rental in Malpeque Bay, book in early June or September, when nightly rates often drop 20 to 30 percent and the red sandstone cliffs are just as beautiful. Pro tip: bundle a longer stay (5+ nights) and many hosts apply weekly discounts automatically at checkout.
tourismpei.com/What license do I need to rent an RV in Malpeque Bay, PE?
Good news: a regular Class 5 driver's licence is all you need to rent an RV in Prince Edward Island. There is no special RV endorsement, air-brake ticket, or commercial licence required for the motorhomes and travel trailers listed on RVezy. Visiting from the US, UK, or overseas? Your home country's licence works for short visits, and an International Driving Permit (typically under $25 from your local auto club) makes things smoother at pickup. RVezy approved drivers must generally be 25 or older, and the platform verifies your ID during checkout. Most first-time renters are surprised how quick the approval process really is.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my Malpeque Bay RV rental?
Every RV rental in Malpeque Bay booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can focus on sunsets over the bay instead of worrying about what-ifs. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip and offers several tiers (Standard, Premium, and Peace of Mind) that you choose at checkout based on the coverage and deductible that suits your trip. Hosts do not set this, you do. Pro tip: if you are new to RVing or planning gravel-road detours near Cabot Beach Provincial Park, the higher tier is a small add to your nightly rate for real peace of mind.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Malpeque Bay RV trip?
Booking an RV rental in Malpeque Bay is low-risk. RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy, and the exact terms applied to your booking are shown during checkout and inside your RVezy account, so you always know where you stand before you confirm. The refund amount depends on how far ahead of your trip start date you cancel. If a host ever cancels on you, RVezy refunds you in full or helps rebook you with travel credits. Pro tip: PEI summers are famously mild, but if a tropical system is forecast for Atlantic Canada in late summer, contact RVezy support early so the team can help you adjust.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Malpeque Bay RV trip?
Absolutely, and PEI is a dream for dogs. Many hosts offer pet-friendly RV rental in Malpeque Bay, just flip on the Pet-Friendly filter when searching RVezy. Cabot Beach Provincial Park welcomes leashed pets on most of its grounds, and the long red-sand stretches at Twin Shores and Darnley Beach are perfect for off-season off-leash romps (check seasonal rules). Prince Edward Island National Park also permits leashed pets on most trails and beaches outside peak swimming hours. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees (usually $10 to $25 per night) and to mention your dog's size. Bring a long line, a towel, and prepare for a very sandy, very happy pup.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/pe/pei-ipe/visit/animaux-petsCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Malpeque Bay?
Yes, RV delivery in Malpeque Bay is one of the best ways to start your trip stress-free, especially if it's your first time renting an RV. Many hosts will drive the RV directly to Cabot Beach Provincial Park, Twin Shores Camping Area, or even a private cottage driveway in Kensington or Summerside, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. Delivery fees typically range from $2 to $4 per kilometre from the host's location, with some hosts offering flat-rate delivery within PEI. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see hosts who offer it. Pro tip: delivery is gold if you're flying into Charlottetown Airport and want to skip towing entirely.
tourismpei.com/pei-campingHow far can I travel from Malpeque Bay on an RV road trip?
Malpeque Bay is a perfect launchpad for a PEI RV trip because the whole island is compact and gorgeous. From Malpeque, Cavendish and Green Gables Heritage Place are 25 km east (about 25 minutes), Charlottetown is 65 km southeast (under an hour), the Confederation Bridge to New Brunswick is 50 km southwest, and the eastern beaches at Greenwich are around 120 km. Want a bigger adventure? Halifax, Nova Scotia is roughly 350 km via the bridge (about 4 hours), and Cape Breton's Cabot Trail is around 600 km. Many RVezy listings include unlimited mileage or generous daily allowances, and you can filter for RV rental with unlimited mileage on the search page. Pro tip: confirm the mileage policy before booking if you're planning a multi-province loop.
tourismpei.com/pei-driving-toursWhere are the best campgrounds near Malpeque Bay?
You're spoiled for choice. Cabot Beach Provincial Park sits right on Malpeque Bay with serviced and unserviced sites, sandy beaches, and easy oyster-shack access. Twin Shores Camping Area in Darnley offers full hookups, two private beaches, and family-friendly amenities. Marco Polo Land near Cavendish is a larger resort-style park with pools and entertainment, great for kids. Cavendish Campground (inside Prince Edward Island National Park) has wooded sites just minutes from the famous red cliffs. For RV camping in Malpeque Bay with a quieter vibe, try Linkletter Provincial Park near Summerside. Pro tip: provincial park sites are bookable through the PEI reservation system starting in early spring and the bayside loops at Cabot Beach sell out fast for July weekends.
tourismpei.com/pei-campingWhen is the best time to visit Malpeque Bay in an RV?
Mid-June through late September is the sweet spot for RV camping in Malpeque Bay. July and August are warmest (daytime highs of 22 to 26 degrees Celsius, water temperatures climbing to 20 degrees, among the warmest north of the Carolinas). June brings lupins in full bloom along country roads with fewer crowds, and September is magical: oyster season hits its stride, lobster suppers still running, fall colours arriving by month's end, and nightly rates drop noticeably. Most PEI campgrounds operate roughly mid-May to mid-October. Pro tip: the Tyne Valley Oyster Festival in early August is a bucket-list experience just minutes from the bay. Book your RV by April for those peak summer weekends.
tourismpei.com/pei-weatherI've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in Malpeque Bay?
You'll do great, PEI is one of the easiest places in Canada to drive an RV. Roads around Malpeque Bay are flat to gently rolling, traffic is light, speed limits are modest (usually 70 to 90 km/h on rural routes), and there are no mountain passes or big-city highways to navigate. Every RVezy host provides a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving, hookups, the propane system, holding tanks, and the awning. Nervous about size? Start with a smaller Class C motorhome or a campervan rental in Malpeque Bay, both easy to handle. Pro tip: do a practice loop on the quiet roads around Kensington before heading to your campground. Within an hour you'll feel like a pro.
princeedwardisland.ca/en/information/transportation-and-infrastructure/highway-safetyWhat happens if I have a breakdown or issue during my Malpeque Bay RV trip?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. You will also have your host's direct contact for quick questions about the specific RV (such as resetting the inverter or relighting the water heater), and RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip by phone or chat. Cell coverage around Malpeque Bay and across most of PEI is strong on Bell, Rogers, and Telus. Pro tip: at pickup, snap a photo of the RV's VIN, licence plate, and your host's number so help is one tap away if you ever need it.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Malpeque Bay RV rental across provinces or into the US?
Yes, interprovincial travel is welcome on most listings: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland are all easily reachable from PEI via the Confederation Bridge or the Wood Islands ferry to Caribou, NS. Cross-border trips to the US are possible with some hosts but require advance approval and confirmation that insurance extends, so message the host directly from the listing before booking. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental due to insurance limitations. Popular routes from a Malpeque Bay RV trip include the Cabot Trail loop in Cape Breton (3 to 5 days), the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick (2 to 3 days), and Halifax's waterfront (a long weekend). Pro tip: the Confederation Bridge toll is paid only when leaving PEI.
confederationbridge.com/travel-information/tolls-fares.htmlWhat should I budget for fuel on my Malpeque Bay RV trip?
Fuel is one of your biggest variables, so plan smart and you'll save a lot. Class C motorhomes typically get 14 to 18 miles per gallon (about 13 to 17 L/100 km), travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle (usually 12 to 16 mpg while towing), and campervans like Sprinter-based builds can hit 20 mpg. Gas prices in PEI are regulated weekly by the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission and are usually within a few cents across the province. Filling up in Kensington, Summerside, or Hunter River is convenient near Malpeque Bay. Pro tip: because PEI is only 280 km end-to-end, most renters spend well under $200 in fuel for a week-long Island loop. Drive 90 km/h instead of 100, you'll feel the savings.
irac.pe.ca/petroleum/How far ahead should I book a campground near Malpeque Bay?
For July and August, book as early as you possibly can, ideally by April. PEI Provincial Park reservations (including Cabot Beach right on Malpeque Bay) open in early spring through the official PEI Camping reservation system, and bayside sites with hookups vanish within days. Parks Canada sites at Cavendish and Stanhope open through the Parks Canada Reservation Service in January. Private parks like Twin Shores and Marco Polo Land take direct bookings and fill quickly for long weekends. Shoulder season (June and September) is much more flexible, often you can book a week ahead. Pro tip: if your dates are locked in for summer, set a calendar reminder for the reservation launch date. The 8 AM rush is real, but the bayfront sunset views are worth it.
tourismpei.com/pei-camping-reservationsWhat are driving conditions like around Malpeque Bay?
Driving around Malpeque Bay is wonderfully relaxed. Roads are paved and well-maintained, terrain is gentle, and you'll often share the road more with tractors than tour buses. Most rural routes have speed limits of 80 km/h, dropping to 50 km/h through villages like Malpeque, Kensington, and Tyne Valley. Watch for red-dirt shoulders (soft after rain), occasional fog rolling in from the Gulf in early morning, and deer at dusk on inland roads. The Confederation Bridge has wind restrictions for high-profile vehicles a few times each summer, check the bridge's live status before crossing. Pro tip: avoid the narrow shore roads around Park Corner with a larger Class A; stick to Route 2 and Route 20 for the smoothest ride to your campground.
princeedwardisland.ca/en/information/transportation-and-infrastructure/road-conditionsWhat amenities will I find at Malpeque Bay campgrounds?
PEI campgrounds are well-equipped and easy to use. Cabot Beach Provincial Park offers 30-amp electrical, water hookups on most serviced sites, a centralized sani-dump for greywater and blackwater, washrooms, and showers. Twin Shores Camping Area has full 30/50-amp hookups, sewer at most sites, laundry, two beaches, and a camp store. Most private parks include Wi-Fi (variable speeds), playgrounds, and propane refill stations. For dump stations on the road, look in Kensington and Summerside. Potable water fills are available at most provincial parks and many gas stations along Route 2. Pro tip: pack a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a 30-amp-to-15-amp adapter, occasionally handy at older sites or if you stop at a friend's driveway along the way.
tourismpei.com/pei-campingWhat's inside a typical Malpeque Bay RV rental?
You'll feel right at home. Most motorhome rentals in Malpeque Bay sleep 4 to 8 people with a mix of queen beds, bunks, and convertible dinettes. Expect a full kitchen (fridge/freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink, cookware), a bathroom with toilet and shower, air conditioning, propane furnace, awning, and outdoor seating. Many include a TV, and some offer onboard Wi-Fi or cell boosters (helpful in quieter parts of the bay). Seatbelted travel positions are clearly marked, important for family RV trip Malpeque Bay planning with kids. Generators are common on Class C motorhomes for boondocking. Pro tip: check each listing's photo set and amenities list, hosts spell out what's included, and you can message them with any specific question (espresso maker? paddleboard storage?) before you book.
rvezy.com/What add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts offer some great extras that can take your Malpeque Bay RV trip to the next level. Common add-ons include bedding and linen packages ($30 to $75 per trip), kitchen kits, outdoor chairs and tables, BBQs, kayaks or paddleboards (perfect for the calm waters of the bay), bike racks, and generators. Mileage policies vary: many listings include 100 to 200 km per day free, with additional kilometres at roughly $0.30 to $0.45 each. Some offer unlimited mileage, great for an Island loop. Pickup is usually at the host's home in places like Kensington, Summerside, or Charlottetown. Pro tip: if your itinerary is heavy on driving (think Cabot Trail), filter for unlimited mileage. If you're staying put at Cabot Beach, the basic mileage tier is plenty.
tourismpei.com/How does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment for your Malpeque Bay RV rental is handled entirely through RVezy, no cash or e-transfers between you and the host. You pay your trip total (rental, service fee, chosen protection plan, and any add-ons) by credit card through the platform, with the balance collected before your trip start date. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card before pickup (separate from your booking payment) and released after return assuming no issues, the exact amount is set per listing and shown before you book. Pro tip: record a quick video walkaround at both pickup and drop-off, including the awning and roof, so any pre-existing scuffs are documented and your deposit comes right back.
