Great experience! Host was great to communicate with!
Michelle T. - Aug 2025
First time renting a trailer and had a great first experience. The owners provided so much more than what is listed in their listing. From small kitchen appliances, cleaning supplies, dish ware, down to dvds for the dvd player. I could not have rented from better hosts. You will not be disappointed.
Andrew K. - Jul 2025
Just got home from an amazing trip that couldn’t have been better. The trailer eas dropped off and picked up at the exact times that they said it would. It was super clean and fully equipped with whatever you would need. Definitely recommending to other and will 100% book again.

How to get to Lord Selkirk Provincial Park
The park sits off Route 1 in Eldon, roughly a 40 minute drive east of Charlottetown and about 15 minutes from the Wood Islands ferry terminal that connects PEI with Nova Scotia. From the Confederation Bridge at Borden-Carleton, the drive is approximately 90 minutes via Route 1. RV travelers should note that PEI has no mountain passes or tunnels, but coastal secondary roads can be narrow with soft shoulders, and the Confederation Bridge has wind restrictions for high-profile vehicles. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent trips is Charlottetown Airport (YYG).
