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

Whimsical Whittaker Hobby Farm

After an initial dog greeting, guests will arrive at a peaceful farm setting with goats grazing and rabbits going about their business. Since our rabbit enclosure offers lots of space and choice, our Flemish Giant rabbits have adopted a more natural rhythm, being active at dawn and dusk and typically resting during the day. Our goats, Pretzel and Shadow, are pretty chill most of the time, but Pretzel (the brown goat) can be pushy if you have food and is generally quite nosy. They are only allowed to roam when the owner is present and can otherwise stay in one of their two enclosures if guests are more comfortable. Guests can wander the farm and take a walk through a quiet forest path that leads to a gentle stream—a blend of animals, nature, and the calming sounds of nearby water. Wade or swim in the brook if desired. You can also take the goats for a walk to the river if they are up for it. The property is located 18 minutes from Fredericton and Oromocto. A gas station/corner store is a 5-minute drive from the property in Beaverdam. Please note: The White family lives on the property and can sometimes be found doing regular maintenance or working on various farm projects. Two teenage, hockey-loving boys are also around and may be seen shooting pucks at times to keep their skills sharp for hockey season.

Tucked away on the tranquil shores of the St. Croix River, River Ridge Retreat is more than just a charming waterfront escape—it’s your front-row seat to the cosmos. Perfect for families, friends, and couples seeking a peaceful getaway, this off-grid hideaway blends river adventures with unforgettable nights under some of the clearest skies in the region. By day, explore the river with our water rafts, paddle out from the nearby boat ramp, or relax on the lily pad as bald eagles soar overhead. Moose calls in the distance and the splash of fish breaking the surface remind you that here, nature is the soundtrack. By night, the magic deepens—free from city glare, the sky transforms into a glittering canopy where the Milky Way stretches horizon to horizon. Witness shooting stars, trace constellations mirrored in the still water, and feel the awe that only comes from stargazing in true darkness. Our main cottage features a spacious king bedroom with a private half bath, a second queen bedroom, and a cozy king pullout couch in the living area—perfect for evenings by the woodstove after skywatching. The luxurious full bath includes a double-head shower to unwind after outdoor adventures. Need extra space? The separate bunkie offers a single bed, a double Murphy bed, its own half bath, and a top deck ideal for early morning coffee or late-night meteor showers. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need, from basic spices to a French press for coffee in the morning mist. We provide plush linens, eco-friendly toiletries, bug spray, sunscreen, and swimming towels—just pack light and arrive ready to relax. For a touch of wellness, warm up in the wood-fired sauna after a cool evening paddle. Step outside afterward, let your eyes adjust, and watch the constellations emerge—Orion in winter, the Summer Triangle in August, or the breathtaking sweep of the Milky Way on warm nights. Located just 20 minutes from St. Stephen and 45 minutes from the coastal charm of St. Andrews by-the-Sea, River Ridge Retreat offers easy access to whale watching, golfing, and historic towns, yet feels a world away when the first stars appear. Come to River Ridge Retreat, where the river flows, the stars shine brighter, and memories are made.
