CNG Country Cabins and Campground
We just spent our weekend celebrating my upcoming birthday at our 17th PEI campground; CNG Country Cabins and Campground in Brackley, PEI.
We arrived to this campground a bit before supper time on Friday evening, our first impression of our site was that it was kind of small but one of the parks was right behind us so the kids definitely loved that! Once we got all set up we had some supper and for the first time since we started camping this season we ate inside the camper since it was so cold outside! Though, not cold enough to stop us from having a campfire! The quiet time is 11 here and fires are suppose to be out then too, we went a little longer then this but no body came down and said anything to us!
On Saturday morning we lazed around our camper for most of it and ate some delicious Borrowed Kitchen bakery goods for breakfast! Around 11 we decided we should go for a walk and check out the campground and petting farm!
Our walk around the campground itself didn't take very long as it is not a big campground at all, in fact this is actually the first year they are even a campground, they have cottages before but just added the campground this year! (Apparently if the campground part does well they may expand on that part!) On our walk we saw they had 3 different playground areas, just little parks but they were very appropriate for my 4 year old and they had a big tree house that even I went inside and it was pretty cool! They also have a small outdoor pool and get this....a large indoor pool! After exploring the parks we found the animals and they were all so friendly! You could tell these animals (the mini horse, the pig, the goat, the rabbits and the 4 large horses) were loved and well taken care of by their owners! We probably spent a good chunk of our afternoon just admiring the animals and petting them!
After our exploring we went make to our campsite for some lunch. After our lunch the kids wanted to try the pool. It was a cold fall day so we were all happy and thankful that this place had a indoor pool. When we arrived at the pool we saw it was very big length wise and it was so warm! My husband, myself and our two youngest boys spent most of our afternoon swimming in this amazingly warm nice indoor pool!
After swim time we froze walking back to our camper 🤣, changed into our nice warm clothing, had supper and started our evening campfire!
This weekend was also my early Birthday Celebrations so we listened to the hoe down around the campfire with the boys grandparents (who were camping next to us for the weekend!)
*My husband did request a Happy Birthday shout out to CFCY but unfortunately Darren Macpherson didn't pass the message on*
We sat around the fire until a little after 12 or so! (Again, fires are suppose to out by 11 but maybe since we were quiet enough that no one came to say anything!)
The next morning we didn't wake up until 9 and check out is 10am! So we packed up pretty much as soon as we woke up. We were a bit pass 10 getting out there but no one said anything to us about that!
I liked this campground for this time of the year because of the indoor pool option and want to try it again in a few more years when they add more campsites to it!
My 11 year old said his favorite part of this campground was the indoor pool.
My 4 year old said his favorite part was the miniature horse.
My favorite part would be the indoor pool also and the fact the park was right behind us!
If you like to party and be loud while you are camping then this is definitely not the campground for you!
This is a small quiet family friendly type of campground and the traffic here was also nonexistent! (After seeing the animals and even before we hit the pool my 11 year old actually said to me "We are definitely coming back here next year"...he seems to like the smaller, quieter campgrounds so from now on I may refer to the small, quiet ones as a "Carter Campground")
I think campground would be perfect for a tourist with a family who is looking for a quiet place to have as your "home base". (The cottages also seemed liked they were reasonably priced!)
