Camping spots located on our property, just 15 minutes from downtown Fredericton. Perfect place to stop along on your road trip through. Ground is rocky (it is a new property and we are working on it) so car or rv camping is ideal however you are more than welcome to set up a tent. Pet friendly aslong as they dont chase the chickens!

Choose from our two options: bring your own tent and stay in the Apple Orchard or just toss your sleeping bag into our Cozy Camper tents. No muss, no fuss - the work is done for you! Just outside Blackville Village limits, far enough away to have all the nature you need but close enough to pop into the village for ice cream or drinks. We spot Bald Eagles, Geese, Ducks and Deer right in our backyard. And if that isn't enough we have a organic family farm so you can visit with chickens, pigs and cows. Relax in the wood fire sauna and shower off in nature in the fun outdoor shower. We have several groomed trails to hike, bike, snowshoe, and cross country ski down. A stocked pond to fish in, take out our little boat for a float or just stroll about and watch our resident beaver swimming around. Town is a five minute drive and you will find a grocery store, ice cream stand, bank, gas station(with nb liquour) and even an awesome thrift shop just one town over in Renous. Venture around the village and you will find horseback riding, river tubing, bridge jumping into the Dungarvon River, and boating on the Miramichi with world class salmon fishing. The city of Miramichi is about a 30 minute drive and has lots of museums and fun things to do. PLEASE NOTE: We have working livestock dogs on the property and pets must be on a leash at all times.

3. Knotty Pines Island Getaway

Knotty Pines Island Getaway offers a unique camping experience that’s perfect for families, couples and singles to enjoy. Located on Coburn Island, Harvey Lake, it is 2 km from where you can put your water craft on the water. This 1.5 acre property is about as secluded as you can get on this lake and can give the illusion of having the whole place to yourself. Surrounded on all sides by water, you don’t have to worry about your pets running off or any predators lurking around. There is a bald eagle living there but I’ve never seen it land on the island. The ground cover is made up of dead evergreen needles and twigs of various sizes - there is no grass - so bring appropriate footwear. I wear sandals and get the occasional twig between the toes but not often enough to make me stop wearing them. I also recommend water shoes when swimming, as there are some sharp rocks just near the shore where we normally swim (I’ll have a path made this summer to prevent this issue). There are plenty of spaces to pitch tents and large trees for hammocks. Once you are settled, you have the lake to swim in and explore, or an island to relax on. A map with notable spots will be provided. There is a trail from one end of the island to the other making it easier to explore. Up in the tallest tree you will see a bald eagle’s nest which has been occupied for no less then 20 years. If you are there in the spring you can hear the eagle's chicks. Exploring the island you can expect to see an old loon’s nest, usually with the egg shells still present, and bones of various creatures that the eagle has eaten. You can also expect to see frogs, turtles, squirrels, various birds, ducks and loons. If you don’t happen to see a loon you will definitely hear them as the sun goes down. You will also hear the train which goes by a few times throughout the day. Pets are welcome and can roam free, but please scoop their poop. *Recommend to bring: bug spray, closed toe shoes, sunscreen, water shoes, floaties, fishing gear” There are some videos posted here showing the island: https://www.facebook.com/people/Knotty-Pines-Island-Getaway/61575209807554/#

Good place to rest your head for the evening if road tripping. However definitely not suited for tent camping as the ground is very uneven and rocky. Relatively private and good tree coverage. They do have a table and a tarp which can come in handy!

Weekend Trip to LaPlante Farm

Great place to park my truck for a couple of nights. Protected, shady, quiet, and peaceful. They had a table and a tarp there if I had needed them, which was a nice touch. It was super dry, so didn't have too many bugs (I could see them being pretty bad if it was wet out). Didn't need to set up a tarp or anything, but plenty of trees to do so if you need to. Also great places for hammocks! It's perfect if you are staying in a hammock, small camper, or vehicle. I'm not sure where I would have found a non rocky/rooty/rutty place to set up a tent if that's where I had been sleeping, so keep that in mind if you are tenting it. It was great for the set-up I have! The neighbors house felt a little close, but where and how I parked still felt very private with the angle of my vehicle and the trees. I think I was just more surprised than anything as I didn't notice it in the pictures. Great spot for a few nights!

We had to cancel last minute and Taylor was very gracious to us with a refund. She seems like a wonderful host and was communicating with us about the weather and road conditions prior to us deciding on canceling. Thanks again Taylor!
