Quick Overview
Cavendish is PEI's most famous tourist destination, home to the Anne of Green Gables heritage site and some of the island's best red sand beaches. 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 for the enormous campground traffic that fills this stretch of the north shore from late June through August. Cavendish is within PEI National Park and has the highest concentration of campgrounds, amusement parks, and tourist attractions on the island.

Route 13 runs from the Trans-Canada north to Cavendish, about 40 minutes from Charlottetown. Route 6 runs east-west along the north shore through the national park. The roads are flat and handle all RV sizes. A Parks Canada pass is needed for the national park. Fuel and basic tourist services are available along Route 6 in summer, but for major restocking use Charlottetown or Summerside. RV-friendly fuel stations with pull-through lanes are more common on the main highways, so plan your fill-ups before turning onto secondary roads.
