Hello from Prince Edward Island, Canada.

[PEIslander]

I like to call Prince Edward Island (PEI) the "Land of Lawn Tractors" because almost everywhere you go here everyone has a big lawn. I myself have over an acre of lawn to mow and my yard wouldn't be considered particularly big. We bought a Camplite trailer. Sometimes we need to get away from the lawn as the damned grass (and unrelenting weeds) never stop growing!

Seriously, buying the small but mighty Camplite 11FDB had nothing to do with the lawn. It was more about a lifestyle goal of spending more time out-of-doors. My wife and I like to hike & experience nature. The trailer allows us an enjoyable way to experience nature a little farther away from home. We typically camp with friends and enjoy the time together camping. There is always good food involved. With busy careers we don't go camping as much as we'd like - but the little Camplite allows us to maximize the enjoyment when we do.

Someday our goal is to travel all the way from beautiful Prince Edward Island to Alaska. We grew up with stories of the 'Alaska Highway' and it beckons both of us. The small but mighty Camplite 11FDB might be part of that trip. We haven't planned that trip yet --- it is on the bucket list though. Our other long-term (retirement phase) goals are to explore the US Southwest and make the trip South to Key West. A bucket list item we have checked off already is a camping trip to incredible Newfoundland. Seriously kids, everyone needs to visit Newfoundland. I've been to the Grand Canyon & I think Newfoundland is right up there at the top of the list in scenic beauty.

If any of you get to PEI know that there's a driveway with a waterview where you'll be welcome. (Just don't plan on staying too long or you'll wear out that welcome. Two or three days would be fine but a month would be pushing it!  )

Welcome from North Carolina!!!!!!! Like your Mighty 11. 

Will camp in your area of Canada during 2016. Visiting the Canadian Rockies this year. Changed my forum name from exploring/carolina to rideandfly since I also like motorcycles and airplanes.

Well Bill, we'll be expecting a visit in 2016! I know you'll enjoy our part of the world. PEI is roughly twice the size of Rhode Island but while RI has a population of over one million, our total population is only 144,000. Our surprisingly cosmopolitan capital city -- Charlottetown -- has a population of only 34,000.

As you can see --- my not so hidden agenda is to promote tourism to sunny PEI    I think we have the only Camplite trailer here on the island and we need more.

Hi Ross thank you for joining us! I also think that I have the only camplite in New Brunswick and we are going to get 3 at the same time at Fundy National Park during our gathering next week! I've been often to PEI because it's close to NB, it's really nice!

[PEIslander]

Thanks Paul -- and I like New Brunswick too. My mother grew up in your province so I have some roots there.

I look forward to meeting you & David next weekend for our First International Camplite Jamboree!

We have to plan one for next year too!

We have to plan one for next year too!

And every year thereafter - forever - since our aluminum trailers don't rot

Welcome, PEIslander! ( It's about time!  )  By the looks of your driveway camping photo, PEI looks like the stuff of great novels with its wide open beauty.  Makes your 11 ft. LL look mighty, indeed!   We'll look into Newfoundland; Canada is a bucket list item for sure!  For now, travel mags will have to do!  Same goes for Alaska...fun to dream!

Your driveway camping offer was very hospitable, almost believable!    We extend the same offer to our LL friends and we too offer a water view....swampland!     

Glad you joined Paul's forum.  We hope you guys have a really great time at Fundy.  Don't you know many of us would be there if we could?  Enjoy!

My wife used to camp with her family in PEI and that is one place she wants to return to.  Thanks for mentioning Newfoundland.  I haven't thought about that and need to look into it more.
