Quick Overview
Borden-Carleton is the PEI landing point for the Confederation Bridge, the 12.9-kilometre span connecting the island to New Brunswick. It has several dump stations, with some offering free access. The area's RV dump station and sani-dump options provide sanitary dump station access right at the island's gateway, serving the heavy summer flow of RVers crossing the bridge. Borden-Carleton has the Gateway Village shopping area near the bridge approach, a gas station, and the Confederation Bridge information centre. It's a small community -- most RVers pass through quickly on their way to Summerside or Charlottetown. Local residents are generally welcoming toward RV travelers, and the community benefits from the tourism dollars that pass through during the camping season. RVers passing through should plan their tank maintenance around the available facilities, as the next dump station may be a considerable distance down the road. Having dump station access in a smaller community like this is a practical advantage for RVers who prefer to avoid backtracking to larger centres.
