The Orchard - Bell Tent Glamping NB

4 sites · Lodging100 acres · 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!

Dream Seed Farm

4 sites · RVs, Tents18 acres · Fredericton, NB
My dream has always been to have a farm to share all the beautiful abundance of life and lots of space to play. Since 2008, I have worked in my home studio sewing Hanging HUGS custom luxury hammocks and shipping them around the world to make the world a cozy place. HUGS have also funded my world travels and humanitarian projects, teaching many people how to make hammocks. You too can learn to sew your own HUG and enjoy it here. An expedition sea kayaker and expert rock climber with more than 20 years experience giving clients a unique look at our province, it's my pleasure to introduce you to my favourite spots. Our sailboat is spacious, comfortable and fun... ready when you are. This farm is a school of life. I am happy to share what I have learned about growing food, and my wife is an amazing cook who can teach how to make Korean food. Lots to do to fill a week, or just kick back in a hammock for a day by the pond, writing journal to reflect, soaking in the peaceful feelings. Learn more about this land: 1800's homestead near Jemseg River where our sailboat is moored. Gardens are abundant, kayaking is beautiful, fishing is good, and swimming is great! Welcome home!

The best camping near Mactaquac Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Mactaquac Provincial Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a plethora of activities set against the backdrop of New Brunswick's stunning natural beauty. From the thrill of tobogganing down one of Canada's top sliding hills to the serenity of cross-country skiing on groomed trails, the park is a winter wonderland. In the warmer months, campers can enjoy a variety of sites, including rustic shelters and full-service options, all within the embrace of the park's scenic landscapes.

Notable campgrounds

  • Electrical Sites: Power up your adventure with convenient electrical hookups amid the park's natural splendour.
  • Full-Service Sites: Embrace the great outdoors with the comfort of full-service sites, perfect for a family getaway.
  • Rustic Shelters: For a more rugged experience, the rustic shelters offer a cosy retreat after a day of exploration.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your ideal campsite, especially during peak summer months when demand is high.
  • Consider visiting during the shoulder seasons for a quieter experience and easier reservation opportunities.
  • Keep an eye on cancellation policies and last-minute openings for unexpected opportunities to reserve a spot.
  • Explore nearby camping options to increase your chances of finding the perfect site during busy times.

When to go

The best time to visit Mactaquac Provincial Park is during the summer for camping and water activities. However, winter offers its own charm with snow-covered landscapes and a range of activities like tobogganing and ice skating. The park is open year-round, but always check ahead for weather conditions and seasonal closures.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's operating hours, which are daily from 8:30am to 4pm in the winter season.
  • Winter camping is un-serviced and requires experience in wilderness camping; reservations are essential.
  • Leashed dogs are welcome on trails, ensuring a pet-friendly adventure for the whole family.
  • Rental equipment for winter sports is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so plan accordingly.
  • Stay informed about weather conditions and trail closures by contacting the park directly before your visit.
