Crow Island rd. Is located on a peninsula in the bay of Fundy. There are many beaches, waterfalls and hiking paths in the area. There is an old graveyard on the peninsula directly across from the site & there is an unknown British soldier who washed ashore during the civil war & some of the locals buried him there. The tide pool is located at the tip of this peninsula. At the end of crow island rd. Is a lovely beach and crow island can be accessed by crossing the breakwater. There is a footpath all around the island. The Belding reef nature preserve is a short walk down Chance Harbour rd. Step over the chain gate at the end of the road and the trail head is on the left at the top of the hill. Just behind the church there is a short path to a beautiful Sandy beach that faces the wharf. At the end of Cranberry Head lane there is a Nordic spa, another gorgeous beach and a couple of waterfalls coming down the mountain. Learn more about this land: Bring your van or RV and enjoy the wonderful ocean views! This site has a bbq and 2 bistro sets. There is a deck on the hillside which overlooks the water. The water in the bay is much calmer which makes it ideal for water sports. The area is a haven for birdwatchers, nature lovers, and foragers. There is a tide pool for swimming at the edge of the property on the ocean side. Basically in front of the big rock. Please be mindful of the currents. There are also many deer, foxes, raccoons & porcupines on the peninsula so pets must be leashed. This also means there are ticks & fleas as well.  We also have a pull-through site across the street that has no amenities other than a table. This site is reserved for trailers 35 feet and larger or for people with boats to put in. Belding Reef Nature preserve is a hiking trail just around the corner. Kayaks and small boats can be put in at the lot across from the site. We are 20 minutes from Saint John & 20 minutes from New River Beach. We look forward to hosting you!

What an amazing spot! Loved it so much, I stayed an extra night. Beautiful setting, with the additional benefit of a purple beach.

Definitely charming!
This is definitely a charming spot! Lots of good places to walk and explore. A seal popped up from the water near the island! Had a nice fire one night in the chiminea, and breakfast outdoors in the morning sunshine.

Great spot!
Beautiful little spot. We had rainy weather but still made the most of exploring the trails and little island! It was very quiet and peaceful. The locals are super friendly and happy to tell you where to catch the best views. We have 2 small dogs and so can appreciate being able to frequent the beaches and public areas without having to worry about pets. We are looking forward to going back again.

New Brunswick visit
We liked the beautiful view of Chance Harbour from our campsite as well as the quite and serene setting. The convenience of being near Saint John. The wildlife we saw on our two hikes to Crow Island and Beldings Reef Trail.

Parfait!
Un bel endroit paisible, avec vue sur l’eau. Le propriétaire a vraiment bien aménagé la place, nous avions foyer, chaises…. Et les petites lumières rendaient le tout charmant.
