We really enjoyed our stay at the Ocean River RV Park - has been about 10 years since we were there last, and the new ownership have really made some great improvements! Chris and Almut were very welcoming and professional, and we were to happy to see that they now sell ice cream and beer in their clubhouse! The washrooms were clean and modern, the tent campsites were nicely spaced apart and well treed, with patches of blueberries dotted around the place. Really loved walking along the beach running along the Tabusintac river, and they have canoe and kayak rentals available, which we will definitely do next time we're there!

The whole experience was really over the top wonderful. I arrived at 8:30 pm and the openers were there to meet me and welcoming me to their camp site. Registration was just a couple of minutes and was personally shown to my bunkie and introduced to its features. Excellent experience and wow what a good nights sleep in that exceptional queen bed.
Exceptional experience and hospitable owners,….. I cannot say enough. I give them and the bulkier 5 stars !

When to go
The best time to camp near Bathurst is from late spring to early fall. Warmer weather allows campers to enjoy beach days, extended hikes, picturesque picnics, and countless campsites. Temperatures reach their peak in July around 25°C and begin to cool in October, dropping below 0°C overnight. When December hits, campers can expect consistent negative temperatures around the clock and should be well equipped to weather the winter until late April.
