Best time to visit Mill River Provincial Park

Late June through August offers the warmest weather, full campground services, and the best river and ocean swimming in the region. Early September is a strong shoulder window for RV travellers, with cooler nights, lower mosquito pressure, and quieter sites after Labour Day. Spring visits in May and early June can be cool and wet, and the campground is typically closed outside the summer operating season.

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.

How to get to Mill River Provincial Park

The park sits in western Prince County, roughly a 15 minute drive from O'Leary and about 90 minutes (around 120 km) northwest of Charlottetown via the Trans-Canada Highway and Route 2. From the Confederation Bridge at Borden-Carleton the drive is approximately 1 hour 45 minutes. RV drivers should note that PEI has no mountain passes or tunnels, but the Confederation Bridge has wind restrictions that can affect high-profile vehicles, and some rural routes are narrow with soft shoulders. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Charlottetown (YYG).
