Camping in New Brunswick

New Brunswick's camping geography centres on three coastlines — the Acadian Coast on the north and east, the Bay of Fundy on the south, and the Saint John River Valley running through the interior — plus the inland salmon rivers of the Miramichi and Restigouche. Private campgrounds cluster along the Acadian beaches (Shediac, Bouctouche, Kouchibouguac's edge), around Fundy National Park and the Bay of Fundy, and along the Miramichi for fishing-focused operators.

Season runs mid-May to early October, with the warmest ocean water in Canada on the Northumberland Strait through July and August. Fundy National Park sites release at midnight EST on January 1 each year for the coming summer — one of the more aggressive reservation calendars in the country. Lobster festivals along the Acadian Coast (notably Shediac in early July) drive sharp short-window demand at nearby campgrounds.
