Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

We had a great two night stay at the Owl's Nest cabin. Helmut answered all of our questions before we left and transported us to the cabin to show us around the cabin and property. Cabin is secluded and off-grid. Our dog was not a fan of the steep stairs to the loft. Don't forget to bring your orange vest and remember to check for ticks. Highly recommend for those looking for a quiet getaway.

Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

We absolutely loved our stay at Owl’s Nest! Helmut treated you like family, sharing his experiences tending the forest and the cabin that he built. If you’re looking for a place to get off-grid, connect with nature, and be able to explore the many trails just outside your door, this is the place! We especially appreciated how the land was private, so that we could let our pup explore without worrying about running into any other dog owners. It was a great to share this cabin and we will certainly be coming back!

Absolutely beautiful! What view! It's an off grid camping spot in the most beautiful area. There is an outhouse that was clean. Dan was quick to respond to any questions I had and check in to make sure I was okay or needed anything. That view though is everything. I would wake up looking out at that view everyday if I could. Also had 5g out there which was nice to still be connected. I will definitely be staying here again.

1 night at Bootsie's

We surprised my parents with a stay at Bootsie Back 40 Cabin for their 40th anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect! The hosts went above and beyond with every detail. The cabin itself is so cozy and welcoming, surrounded by stunning fall colors that made the whole experience magical. My parents loved the peace and quiet — they spent their mornings sipping tea while listening to the birds sing. The hosts were wonderfully friendly and even took photos of my parents for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. They also got to visit the farm animals (including two emus!), which they absolutely adored. Thank you for helping me give my parents such a memorable and heartfelt experience. This will be a trip they’ll cherish forever!

Property is right on the road but there is a long dirt driveway the length of the property that allows you to get back away from the road. The vegetation was a bit overgrown and dry when we stayed so we didn’t drive all the way back but there is a nice flat field area in the back that would be a nice spot to park for the night.

Weekend Trip to Bootsie's

Great little spot. The wood stove made it very cozy and we had enough power for the water, lights and coffee in the morning. It was great having a camping experience while not having to take down tents in the morning. Recommend it if you're in the area.

We spent one night there and it was a great site! The views were amazing and the site was very clean. We plan to swing by on our way back through in a few weeks if we get a chance.

4 nights at Fraserville Off-Grid Camping

A beautiful camp site. Perched in a field up on a hill side over looking the bay of fundy. A sweet spot. Very secluded. A 10 minute walk down to the beach where we had a nice walk at low tide. Chignecto Park in West Advocate was closed due to the drought so no hiking there. Otherwise though a great stay. Thank you!

The dome is FANTASTIC! It's cozy, beautiful and so unique. We had a wonderful stay and an AMAZING sleep in the very comfortable bed. The spa is also truly amazing. Beautiful, serene and exactly what we needed after three weeks on the road camping. Do yourself a favour and book this fab place!

Where to go

Shediac

The self-proclaimed lobster capital of the world, Shediac is a fun little town that’s close to the white sands of Parlee Beach Provincial Park and famous for its 90-ton lobster sculpture. Parlee Beach attracts a younger crowd and often has a party vibe as a place where you can chow down on great seafood, swim in some of the warmest ocean water in Canada, or take a tour on a lobster boat. A number of camping sites sit in and around Shediac, including within Parlee Beach Provincial Park.

Fundy Shore

Bestowed with the world’s highest tides, the entire Fundy Shore is an adventurer’s dream. At Hopewell Rocks, you can walk the ocean floor among towering red flowerpot rocks, or kayak around them at high tide. Hike the rugged coastlines that rise into the highlands at Fundy National Park, then set up camp at one of many private campgrounds in the area, or at one of the park's tent sites, RV spaces, yurts, or oTENTiks.

Miramichi

Fly-fishing mecca Miramichi is a quaint town offering a range of Acadian and Indigenous cultural experiences, tubing on the Miramichi River, learn-to-fish programs for adults and kids in nearby Doaktown, and some neat camping opportunities that include treehouse camping.

When to go

New Brunswick is best visited in summer and fall, as the weather can be unpredictable outside of those times and you’ll find it difficult to find operational camping spots. Even still, Moncton is a fully functional city year-round, and visitors can experience much of what it has to offer even in the dead of winter should you want to check it out in the cold and snow.

Know before you go

Moncton and the surrounding area host many fun festivals, including Shediac's lobster fest in July and Moncton's arts week and live dance music festival in July. Check dates in advance of your trip planning to either check out the events or avoid the crowds they bring.
Once you get outside the city, cell service can be patchy. Get a good sense of where you are going before setting out.
French is commonly spoken in and around Moncton, and as New Brunswick is a bilingual province, you’ll see signage in both English and French.
