Moose, how much was the ferry ride and also the cost of the KOA.
We are currently in Fredericton, NB at HARTT's ISLAND. nice place. Going to stay over an extra night and check out the BLUES's festivals going on this weekend.
RETIREMENT LIFE IS GOOD!

There is no charge going TO PEI by either Ferry or Confederation Bridge. You pay to get off the Island. LoL
Coming from New Brunswick you would be better off using the Confederation Bridge going to PEI. It depends on your itinerary after PEI whether you return to mainland via Bridge or take Ferry to Caribou and Nova Scotia.
Here is the link to the fares for the Ferry.

KOA 50 AMP pull thru on the waterfront is $50/night. Regular $50 Amp pull thru $42/night. 30 AMP are cheaper. KOA 800-562-4194.
Enjoy.
While at Hartt's Island, look up Sandra & Ron Steeves & tell them that Carol & Graham say hello!

The fair rate on the bridge is per RV and discounted close to the car fair. On the ferry you are charged per the lenght of the vehicle and it can be quite high compared to the bridge fair. If going to NS it might pay off taking the ferry to the Island and back to NB by the bridge.

Well it has been a busy week. We are now in Sherbrooke Nova, Scotia. We are heading towards cape Breton and a trip around Cabot's Trail.
While on PEI I just had to check something out. I had heard that there several GALLANT's on that island. That is an understatement.
I walked up to 6 gents outside the local Lions club and I asked no particular one if there were any GALLANT's around.
The response "we'll 5 of us are and that fellow there is a token, he is our brother in law".
Then we went to the local cemetery and 80 percent had GALLANT AS PART OF THEIR NAME. Well maybe not 80 % but at least 70% were.

I Would say greatest concentration on the Island.

Small small world. My dad owns a house very near that light house and if you happened to see a road named Cecilia's way it was named for my mom after she past away. He said he wanted to make sure everybody new she "got her way"
We are currently adding abother nine 50 amp sites (sites will be about 36 wide x 90ft long) with a great waterview staggered up the hill from where you were parked. Also a few of the sites on the end of the waterfront rows were widened by about 10-15ft. Just finished trenching for the electrical friday and hoping to get the water/sewer in asap. Been thinning out the entrance road when you enter the CG as well to bring back the water view when coming in as well.
