Campground Notes
Campground Notes
No water or sewer on the campsite. Water available from nearby spigots and there is a small, antiquated dump station. The entire park is older, with narrow access roads and tight campsites over heavily wooded, rolling hills. Most (but not all) overhead trees have been pruned for high-clearance vehicles. Lots of privacy screening between sites. Most sites are unlevel, but workable with a couple boards or leveling blocks. Fairly large bath houses (with free hot showers) and camp kitchen areas with dishwashing stations.

New River Beach Provincial Park is located on lower Fundy Bay with dramatic tides over sandy beaches and rocky coastlines pocked with interesting coves. The park sports a 5+ mile trail that wanders this coastline and then returns via a boardwalk wetlands trail that features numerous pitcher plants and other exotic flora.

The nearby waterfalls at Lepreau are worth a visit, and part of a larger UNESCO Global Geopark site. And the city of Saint John as well as Irving Nature Park is a short 40 minute drive north.
