The camping season in this part of New Brunswick is short. Most private campgrounds open in early May and close in mid-October. Oak Bay Provincial Park typically operates from mid-May to late October, and the Kiwanis Oceanfront season runs from early May to October.
July and August are peak months. Weekends near Canada Day, New Brunswick Day (first Monday of August), and the U.S. Labor Day holiday fill up first, driven by cross-border traffic through Calais.

How to book
Reservations in the Dufferin area are handled directly by each private campground rather than through a central provincial system. Phone and email are the most reliable channels, and some parks accept online requests through their own websites.
Kiwanis Oceanfront, a spacious full-service campground overlooking Passamaquoddy Bay, advises booking early. For Oak Bay Campground, reservations are taken by phone at the number listed with Tourism New Brunswick. Ask about site type (full hookup, water and electric, or unserviced), rig length, and pull-through availability when booking, and confirm deposit and cancellation terms before arrival.
What to expect
Expect a mix of full-hookup RV sites, serviced sites with water and electric, and unserviced tenting areas.

The park has 82 sites total, including 27 tent-only sites, 10 pull-throughs, 31 full hookups, and 24 electric-water sites. Oak Bay Campground offers water, electric, sewer, Wi-Fi, laundry, showers, and a playground.
Cell coverage is generally good near St. Stephen and St. Andrews but can drop in wooded interior sites. Bring layers: ocean breezes off the Bay of Fundy keep sites cool even in July, and fog can settle in overnight along the coast.
