1 night at Vintage Camper

Super quick & easy booking and stay! The trailer is absolutely adorable and was perfect for me, my husband, and my one-year old (we brought our own pack'n'play crib which fit right near the bench in the camper). The outdoor fairy lights were adorable at night, the campfire pit is a good size, and there were even deer feeding on the apples in the morning! Even though it was close to the highway, and right outside a few residences, it's still quite private. Thank you for the accomodations!

Enjoy your private campfire area, complete with seating, and twinkle lights at night! Firewood is sold on sit.

1 night at The Old Canoe

A beautiful experience from beginning to end. Charlotte was wonderful to communicate with. I was travelling from Minnesota to PEI and her Hipcamp was the perfect stop for a camping break while still camping. If I lived in New Brunswick I would love to spend a weekend there. Charlotte has created so many outdoor spaces to spend time, provided outdoor games, kayaks, trails to explore, and so much more. Every detail was provided. After being on the road for 3 weeks it was nice to have a comfortable nights sleep and feel taken care of. The outdoor shower was wonderful. I highly recommend - would be great as an artists retreat!

61km from Doak House Provincial Heritage Site · 5 sites · Lodging · Cumberland Bay, NB

Experience this gem of nature! "The Old Canoe" is located in Cumberland Bay, New Brunswick, Canada (a small community centrally located between the major cities of Fredericton, Moncton, and Saint John). This shore-front property is located along the Cumberland Bay Stream, which flows through marsh wetlands and empties into Grand Lake (the largest fresh water lake in New Brunswick). Don’t forget your camera! There's lots to see in nature! We named our property "The Old Canoe", inspired by the old canoes we used while growing up. Although this is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, you don't HAVE to be one to appreciate these unique vacation rentals, which provide a unique semi-off-grid experience with nature. It's a perfect couples retreat, or single's escape. Fancy Outhouses are provided near your rental and near the Shore, and an Outdoor Heated Shower in the forest promises a refreshing experience. Guests enjoy FREE use of our shore, canoes, and kayaks (depending on weather conditions). SWIMMING IS NOT ADVISED, as it is somewhat muddy/marshy, and shallow ... but it's PERFECT for small watercraft and fishing! WHAT TO PACK: Food and ice in a cooler, and your clothes! You may also want to bring rubber boots or water shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellant. Rentals are stocked with just about everything else you'll need for a great stay, including propane BBQ and burner. CHECK OUR LISTINGS FOR DETAILS ON WHAT'S INCLUDED. To be candid, this IS NOT a party place! We've lived on this 15-acre property for several years, and enjoy all it has to offer, so we decided to let others enjoy it too! We strive to provide a safe and peaceful place for our guests (and us) to Relax, and Enjoy Nature! Also, since cell phone service is so poor in this area, it's a great opportunity to Unplug !! If you're looking for a place to enjoy nature and solitude. THIS IS IT! EXPERIENCE: Unique accommodation, Campfires, Hammocks, Walking Paths, Books, Games, Sitting Areas, the Shore, Boats, Picnics, Fishing (bring your own gear) RELAX, Enjoy Nature, Unplug and Unwind !!

The Orchard - Bell Tent Glamping NB

64km from Doak House Provincial Heritage Site · 4 sites · Lodging · Tay Creek, NB

Located only 25 minutes from Fredericton, NB, this sprawling old-growth apple orchard features 3 privately placed bell tents, a hot-tub, barbecues, and indoor lodge with kitchen, bathroom, games room, and library space. Described by a past guest as "something out of a fairytale", the orchard is defined by towering old-growth apple trees, a meandering brook with multiple bridge crossings, meadows brimming with lupins and golden rod, the remnants of stone fences from when the land was farmed, patches of wild berries, and a growing network of trails connecting all these enchanting elements. Perhaps even more beautiful after sunset, strings of fairy lights illuminate the paths to the tent sites and fireflies fill the void in between. An unofficial dark sky sanctuary, you will enjoy unparalleled views of the stars while your ears are treated to the distant calls of bullfrogs and the hoot of owls flying overhead. We look forward to welcoming you to the fairytale orchard!

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.
