In Acadia, the campground on the Schoodic Peninsula is much easier to get in to and out of -- the sites in the campgrounds on the main part of the park are more scenic, but more cramped. You will want reservations if you are going in the summer.
PEI is great, but you will probably need reservations there as well. There are several provincial as well as a national park. We stayed in two of the provincial parks, and we were able to get sites right on the water. If you call the parks for reservations, they are very helpful to tell you what is available. After July 1, however, most of the sites near the water will be taken by folks who just spend the summer there. Be sure to visit the North Cape Wind Energy center. It is a great place to have some local food as well. Be sure to sample the mussels. Don't forget the potato museum as well.
Price to cross the bridge back to civilization a little over $60 CDN.
