BOONDOCKING REVIEW North Rustico PEI

We found a great little Wharf in North Rustico PEI for the night. For directions from Charlettetown click HERE.

Value 5/5
FREE

Site Quality 4/5
Very level parking area on the wharf. No services however there are poles with electric which you apparently are allowed to use. They are a bit well worn but they still work fine. There are washrooms across the field. No wifi.

Facility Fun 5/5
With little ones this spot was great. We walked the wharf, saw the fishing boats, went fishing, played on the playground for hours! This space is very close to the National Park Beach and there is also a beach down at the end of town. We couldn't find room to park there as it was really busy and we ran out of time to walk all the way down because the girls were loving the playground so much.

Natural Surroundings 5/5
Wonderful wharf, beaches near by, nice little fishing village. Great for bike rides.

Bathrooms 4/5
Well maintained bathrooms in the park behind the wharf parking lot.

Staff N/A

Location 5/5
If you are wanting to spend some time on the Northern coast of Central PEI then this spot is perfect. It is close to the National Park, (North Rustico but Cavendish is not far either with beaches, amusement parks, Green Gables and more), and about 30 minutes from Charlottetown where you can find anything you want (including parking overnight at Walmart)

Overal 5/5
This was a very nice spot to park for the night. There were a few fishermen that stayed quite late on the docks and were a bit loud but as soon as they left it was very quiet. This spot is close to many beaches, right on the wharf for fresh seafood, or go to one of the restaurants if you want someone else to cook it for you :) The playground was great and the bonus of electric for FREE was a huge surprise. All it was missing was wifi ;)
