Accommodations |
Post-Covid, the Island has changed dramatically. In 2022 we found fewer Cottages to rent and very few BnBs due to ownership changes and their willingness to rent out properties around the island. That is why we now have a day of race ferry leaving Leamington at 7 am for the first time in 2023. We still want to sell out all the accommodations on the island and support the local tourism economy. Pelee has a variety of Bed and Breakfasts around the island, ranging from quaint and homey to higher end Bed & Breakfasts.
Camping is allowed ONLY IN DESIGNATED CAMPGROUNDS such as the East Park Campgrounds and The Main Station RV Park, Guesthouse + Campground.
