The best camping in New Brunswick

Name: New Brunswick
Address: New Brunswick
Rating: 4.6905

Having flown under the radar for quite some time, New Brunsick is one of Canada’s most intriguing spots, sandwiched between Maine in the United States to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Evidence of Acadian and First Nations cultures is everywhere, from food to historical sites, and the famed Bay of Fundy offers sandy beaches and coastlines forged by the world’s highest tides. The towns of Saint John, Fredericton, and Moncton serve as gateways to expansive national and provincial parks, meaning that New Brunswick campgrounds and RV parks make for great spots to stay the night as you get out into nature. Though most campers visit in summer for warmth or fall as the leaves change, cold-weather activities and snowy glamping opportunities in chalets are winter draws.

The Bay of Fundy is known for having the highest tides in the world—you can either walk the ocean floor when the tide is out, or kayak among the tall flowerpot rocks when it’s in. The waterfront town of Alma serves as the gateway to Fundy National Park, a New Brunswick must-see with two dozen waterfalls, countless hiking trails, and even a swimming pool and golf course. Park camping options include front-country and backcountry campsites, yurts, cabins, and RV camping with hookups.

From Moncton, you can access the white sands at Parlee Beach Provincial Park, the town of Shediac (the self-proclaimed lobster capital of the world, complete with massive, climbable lobster at the town entrance), and a handful of RV resort parks. Drive up the eastern coast to explore sand dunes, salt marshes, and forest trails in Kouchibouguac National Park, a Canadian Dark Sky Preserve.

Set on the Bay of Fundy and easily accessed from the U.S. border, the former industrial town of Saint John is the most well-known in New Brunswick. It’d be hard to visit the province without a stop in at the breweries and boutiques here, but the port city is also surrounded by nature and opportunities for beach camping and RV stays. RV and tent camping can be found right in Saint John, while oceanfront campgrounds dot the nearby resort town of Saint Andrews.

The sparsely populated northern part of New Brunswick is known for remote camping and hiking opportunities. Climb the province's highest peaks and get treated to a view of 10 million trees in Mount Carleton Provincial Park, or head east to Caraquet, the heart of Acadian New Brunswick, to gorge on traditional foods and immerse yourself in the unique culture.

Caithness, NB · 40 sites · Tents, RVs

Situated in Caithness, New Brunswick, where the Magaguadavic River meets the Passamaquoddy Bay on the Bay of Fundy. Once owned by high profile Saint Andrews-By-The-Sea resident, Robert Pagan, the property, like other properties in the area, was granted to American Loyalist Soldiers of Scottish Highlanders, and named for Caithness, Scotland, the place where Golf began. When the US Revolutionary War ended, the King of Holland was chosen to define the boundary between the United States and Canada. He chose the “St Croix River”. The problem was, nobody knew where the St Croix River was. That name had been used by the French, but had not been used in a very long time. Canadians believed the Schoduc River was the St Croix. American’s believe the Wolastoq River (now called the St John River) was the St Croix River. The local North American Indigenous people (the MicMacs or Mi'kmaqs) told Robert Pagan of a place called “Bone Island” where their history told of Europeans living and dying there. Pagan did an archaeological dig on “Bone Island” and found the remains of the French colonists and their settlement. This proved “Bone Island”, also known as “Dochet Island” or “Saint Croix Island", was the site of Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Monts' ill-fated 1604 settlement. Based on this, the Boundary Commission agreed that the Schoduc River was the Saint Croix River and therefore, the international boundary between Canada and America. The survivors of the 1604/1605 fall/winter moved from St Croix Island to Port-Royal in Nova Scotia (two years before the European arrival in Jamestown, Virginia, the earliest continuously occupied European settlement in the USA). Without the work of Robert Pagan, this campsite and half of New Brunswick, including the Capital City of Fredericton and half of the City of Saint John would have been part of Province of Massachusetts Bay (later Maine). In the 1800's this property was part of a 1000 acre lot of land owned by two McKenzie brothers, Sea Captains. Since the late 1960s, the property was the summer home of Ben and Marg Leland, parents to 14 children and 50 grandchildren. Today, there are four (4) separate fields available for campers - Barnes' Point, Charlies Garden, the Villa Point and the Main Beach. The property has 2 miles of shoreline and several beaches to enjoy. The property even has a private island, Blueberry Island. A really unique and quiet place to stay. Learn more about this land: Natural long grass fields for camping, some mowed mid-season. There are several shale beaches on the tidal salt water. There is also access to the Fresh Water of the Magaguadavic River. Kayakers looking for more of a challenge may choose to paddle the Salt Waters of the Passamaquoddy Bay past Midjik Bluff. Those looking for calmer and warmer waters, may want to choose to go from the campsite, up the Magaguadavic River to the beautiful Saint George Basin and the Saint George Gorge, passing the Three Sisters and the newest Bald Eagles Nest (at the most eastern end of the Campsite). Pass by Silver Island arriving at the Saint George Basin. Disembark at the Basin Boat Ramp and take a short walk up Portage Street to Main Street. Enjoy an ice cream at Pete’s Dairy Bar. Also a short walk to the Saint George Mall, the Historic Granite Post Officer, the Saint George Dam, Fish Ladder, the Old Pulp Mill, the Country Market, and more. A quiet spot, away from noise and light pollution, where the fresh water meets the salt water. WiFi Connection 01: TP-Link_33DD_2G WiFi Connection 02: TP-Link_33DD_5G WiFi Password: 47528963

We stayed one night at Paul’s place. He provided a lot of useful information about the area after we booked. We stayed in the 1st spot as you enter the property. The road in is a bit rocky, but nothing a normal car can’t handle. The 1st spot is good for larger rvs and has a gravel base. The location is really beautiful - very peaceful, quiet, wonderful views. We saw a lot of birds, including 2 eagles and a Herron from our site. At night, you only heard crickets. We walked the property to see some of the other sites, including the beach area, which is also beautiful with a grassy area for smaller rvs or tent campers. There is a cute small town with a small grocery store about 10 minutes away. It was a great place to stay as we made our way from Nova Scotia back to Maine. It’s only about 10 minutes off the highway, so very convenient. We’d be happy to stay again.

We had the best time celebrating our honeymoon by the river! The tent was comfortable and had a nice skylight to fall asleep under the stars at night. The fire place location was absolutely perfect and all the small touches to make the space completely camp ready was so appreciated. It was nice arriving and having little to no set up! The camp is very private, the only time we saw anyone was when we swam in the river which then gave us view of the bridge nearby. The portable toilet was very conveniently located, beware of the bugs but that is to be expected in nature! We had a heavy rainfall one day which resulted in the pathway into our camp/out to the portable toilet being flooded, unavoidable and minorly inconvenient but good to be aware of so you aren’t getting soaked trying to get to the washroom/ bringing gear into the camp if there’s a rainfall. Overall, we had an incredible time disconnecting and relaxing at this incredible site. Would recommend and stay again!!

Paul had assumed we would use the site next to the house but was very accommodating when we requested a different site that gave us more privacy. The site we had was just right for our needs having not explored the rest of the property. When we did , we found a beautiful field with picnic tables and benches for sitting placed about. the field is quite spectacular and when we have the opportunity to visit again, that will be our requested spot!

Paul (and Milo the pup) was a great host and his property was absolutely beautiful! He had so many recommendations for us along our road trip and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We'll definitely be back!

This is our second time at Paul’s place. The signs at the driveway made it very easy to find. The campsite was unbelievably gorgeous. We were surrounded by water and the stars were amazing! This place is one in a million! Paul is a wonderful host and makes us feel like old friends.

Weekend Trip to Mouth of the Magaguadavic Camping

We enjoyed our 2 nights here with the beautiful view and privacy. Paul was welcoming and shared extra local info about places and routes to see. It was a bonus to have Milo - the campsite pup- come around to check in on us each day! 10/10 would recommend!
