Cedar Dunes Provincial Park — Attraction in West Point

I had intended to leave a 5-star review, but there are both positives and negatives to consider regarding this site.

Pros: The campsite is small and situated by the ocean, allowing you to hear the soothing sounds of the waves at night. There is a great playground for kids to enjoy. A beautiful beach can be found on the right side, near the lighthouse, which is supervised by lifeguards. It offers the best sunsets and sunrises on the island. You get a great view of the West Cape lighthouse. Lighthouse Willy's Restaurant is just a few minutes away and serves good food. Although the beach on the left side is rocky, it is still a beautiful place for a stroll.

-The park's front desk and supervisor provide exceptional customer service. When we couldn't fit into our reserved campsite #6, they kindly offered us campsite #1, which worked out well. They were accommodating and understanding, especially the supervisor who manages four parks. She was outstanding.

The campsite can get breezy, which we enjoyed as it helped cool things down on warm days.

-Bathrooms/showers are extremely clean. Park staff visit every hour.

-Sites are grassy and clean.

Negatives: The campsites are small, and there are a considerable number of seasonal campers. Despite reserving campsite #6, we were surprised to discover that it was not as spacious as expected. The presence of a large camper on the neighboring site made it difficult for us to set up our own camper. It may be beneficial for the park to review the size allocation of corner sites and adjacent smaller sites. During our three-day stay, we observed multiple campers expressing concerns about the proximity of neighbors and the feasibility of accommodating two campers side by side. However, this issue was quickly resolved by supervisor. Campsite #1 cannot be reserved and would not fit a large camper. The laundry room requires upgrades. One washer does not spin properly, and there are no clear signs indicating this issue, resulting in clothes coming out drenched. Additionally, one of the dryers takes an excessive amount of time to dry clothes and does so poorly. Campsite personnel gave me my money back. 2$ to wash/dry (loonies only available at park desk). The washroom facilities are located at the extremities of the park. While well-lit, as a woman, I felt uncomfortable walking alone to either facility due to the distance being too far. I accompanied my child as well. I would not let children go alone and would want my significant other to accompany me.

Overall, the pros outweight the cons. I would recommend :). We...

Traveling in PEI, we tried a private campground that obviously had not had a person stay for some time. Boarded up and deserted. Stumbled across this gem of a provincial park late in the day and enjoyed a beautiful sun set and beachside campsite. Great staff, fantastic beach that goes on and on. This is a must stay at location when traveling the island and I’d make sure to go back again when I return. Clean washrooms, laundry and OK wifi. There’s an unique lighthouse/museum that also has a number of accommodations attached. The exhibit was closed wen we arrived but the units were well occupied with people enjoying the balconies and semi private beach. We were off season, late September, so we had a choice of campsites and braved the winds left over from hurricane Lee and camped almost right on 5he beach. 30 amp, water and sewer hookup, how could you go wrong. Reservations during the peak season would absolutely be a requirement well before arrival as I’m sure it’s a...

Edit: We were able to come back but did learn that how the sites are set up when the campground is more full is a little odd. One is facing another camper so basically, 2 different groups share one large site. It’s a little awkward especially if you’re just wanting quiet and privacy or if one is socially uncomfortable. Also risky if you end up with rude campers. Still doesn’t affect my rating but wish I knew this was the set up. Only way around it is if you back in where you’re supposed to pull in or vice versa, if your hook ups allow it.

What a great park to camp and very clean. Full hooks up sites available for us glampers with RV's. The other sites were well maintained and beautiful and all close to the beach with plenty of garbage cans around the whole park. The park is staffed from 6 am until 10pm for off season and 24 hours for summer. They were so accommodating and very more than friendly. We stayed for 5 days and did not want to leave, but, we...
