The best beach camping in Bay of Fundy

·

Set up camp right on the edge of the Bay of Fundy and wake up to the sound of the world’s highest tides. With over 20 beach camping options in this area, you’ll find sites where the sand meets the forest and tide pools stretch for metres at low tide. Average sites run about $75/night, but you can snag a spot for as little as $40. Bring your dog, enjoy a hot shower, and end the day around a campfire—most campgrounds allow all three. Top picks like Pickles Place (10 reviews), Loriella Farm (4 reviews), and Beautiful Bay of Fundy offgrid (2 reviews) get consistent praise for easy access to the water and quiet spots to watch the tides roll in. Swim, hike the rugged coastline, or spot seabirds—there’s no shortage of ways to fill your days here.

Maitland, NS · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
"Big Blue" sits atop a lawn covered hill on the shore of the Cobequid Bay. A grove of fir and pine trees offer a sense of woodland solitude and fairies. The energy is magical. You can enjoy a front row seat or amble down over the lawn to sit on the end of the public wharf to watch the tidal bore squeeze into the mouth of the Shubenacadie River. It won't be long and you can marvel at the force of the water as it turns and begins to pour back toward the Bay of Fundy. Walk across the dyke to reach the oldest continually operating general store in North America - Frieze and Roy. Beyond the Wharf, a locally stocked craft shop borders us on the easterly side of the lawn. Next to it you will find Dawson Dowel Picnic Park, a playground and basketball court. On the westerly side of the driveway you there is a marsh area. The remnants of the shipyard where the WD Lawrence was built in the 1800's can be seen poking through the sand on the beach directly in front of the marsh. At low tide you can walk for miles in a westerly direction. Always be Tide Aware! Across the road from the marsh is the residence of WD Lawrence himself. It is a provincial museum. Directly across from Big Blue is a Ducks Unlimited pond. The sound of the geese and ducks can be heard 24 hours a day! There is a path that circumvents most of the pond. Adjacent to the Lawrence House parking lot there is an observatory where you can linger and watch the shenanigans of the occasional muskrat or possibly a beaver. The washrooms are accessed through a side door on the verandah of the main house. There are three showers and three toilets. If happen to be missing your "workout" there is a treadmill and exercise bike available to use. Outdoor fire regulations are strictly adhered to. There is a BBQ available for a small fee. Other perks (subject to scheduling) available at an additional cost might include: In-house Concerts; Reiki Sessions; Workshops and Ceremonies
