Campgrounds and RV parks near Dalhousie, NB

Dalhousie sits on the south shore of the Bay of Chaleur at the mouth of the Restigouche River, in northern New Brunswick's Restigouche County. The town works well as a base for RV travellers exploring the Acadian Coastal Drive, the Gaspé Peninsula across the bay, and the Appalachian foothills inland. Cross-border trips into Quebec are short: the J.C. Van Horne Bridge at Campbellton is roughly a twenty-minute drive west. Campground options in the area mix municipal, private, and provincial-park properties. Inch Arran Trailer Park sits inside Dalhousie itself on the Bay of Chaleur, while Sugarloaf Provincial Park Campground lies just west near Campbellton at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain. Jacquet River Campground is roughly forty minutes east along Route 134 in Belledune, and Camping Aux Flots Bleus and Camping De La Pointe-Taylor sit across the bay in Quebec's Gaspésie region near Carleton-sur-Mer and New Richmond. Most sites in the area cater to trailers and motorhomes with full or partial hookups, and several are within walking distance of a beach on the Bay of Chaleur.

Sugarloaf Provincial Park Campground is reserved through the NB Parks reservation system, either online or by phone to the park office. Reservations are strongly recommended in July and August because the park is a regional draw for both camping and mountain biking. Inch Arran Trailer Park is operated by the Town of Dalhousie and is booked directly by phone. Jacquet River Campground takes reservations directly during the operating season by phone to the campground office, with the Village of Belledune's municipal office handling off-season enquiries. Camping Aux Flots Bleus and Camping De La Pointe-Taylor are private Quebec campgrounds and are best booked directly through each operator's website or phone line. Prime waterfront sites on the Gaspé side of the bay for July and August often sell out well in advance, so early reservations are recommended.
