Top Hosts near PE, Canada
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.

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 Northumberland Provincial Park
The park sits off Route 4 near Wood Islands, about 60 km (roughly a 50 minute drive) east of Charlottetown and only a few minutes from the Wood Islands ferry terminal that links PEI with Caribou, Nova Scotia. From the Confederation Bridge at Borden-Carleton, plan on about 115 km (roughly 90 minutes) of easy driving on Routes 1 and 4. There are no tunnels, mountain passes, or significant grades for RVs on the approach, but coastal winds on the Confederation Bridge can be strong, and large rigs should check bridge wind advisories. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Charlottetown Airport (YYG).
