Campgrounds near Hanwell, New Brunswick
Hanwell is a suburban community immediately west of Fredericton, New Brunswick, placing RV renters within a short drive of the Saint John (Wolastoq) River valley and its cluster of campgrounds. The area sits along Route 2 and Route 102, so most parks are reachable within 15 to 30 minutes of the city core.
Closest to Hanwell is Hartt Island RV Resort, a full-service riverside park on Woodstock Road with over 110 sites, 30 and 50 amp hookups, and an on-site water park. Further west along Route 102, River Run Resort & Grill, Woolastook Park, and Heritage Country Camping offer quieter, family-run settings on or near the river. Mactaquac Provincial Park anchors the region with roughly 400 sites on a 1,300-acre riverside property.
Together these five parks cover the practical range of RV camping in the area: resort-style with amenities, mid-size private grounds, and a large provincial park with reservable sites through the NB Parks system.
Things to do near Hanwell
Mactaquac Provincial Park is the main outdoor hub, with an 18-hole championship golf course, freshwater beaches, a beaver pond nature reserve, and treetop aerial adventures. The park's trail network includes short interpretive loops and longer forest routes, and it stays open year-round for skating on the frozen duck pond, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and fat biking in winter, with rental equipment available.
Along the Saint John River, RV renters can paddle, fish, or launch boats from several access points, including those at Hartt Island RV Resort and Woolastook Park. Downtown Fredericton is roughly 10 to 15 minutes from Hanwell and offers the Historic Garrison District, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, the riverfront trail, and the Boyce Farmers Market on Saturdays. A riverside biking and hiking trail runs from Hartt Island into the city.

The core RV season runs from mid-May through mid-October. Hartt Island RV Resort operates from May 1 (weather permitting) to October 15, and Mactaquac Provincial Park's campground is open by reservation from mid-May through September. Private parks such as River Run Resort & Grill, Woolastook Park, and Heritage Country Camping follow a similar warm-season calendar, with several opening around mid-May.
July and August are the busiest months, with warm days, river swimming, and full programming at Mactaquac. Weekends and long weekends fill early, so booking eight to twelve weeks out is prudent. Late May, June, and September are quieter and cooler, with fewer bugs after mid-August and strong fall colour from late September into early October.
Mactaquac also offers winter camping for experienced cold-weather campers, with reservations required. Most private campgrounds in the area close for the winter, so shoulder-season RV renters should confirm operating dates directly with each park before booking.

How to book campsites near Hanwell
Mactaquac Provincial Park is reserved through the NB Parks system at parcsnbparks.ca. Nightly camping reservations for New Brunswick provincial parks typically open in early February at 9:00 a.m. AST, with all parks opening on the same day. Seasonal sites at Mactaquac are handled in a separate earlier window in mid-January. A reservation fee applies to each booking.
Hartt Island RV Resort, River Run Resort & Grill, Woolastook Park, and Heritage Country Camping are private operations that take bookings directly through their own websites or by phone. For summer weekends and holidays, reserve as far ahead as possible; for shoulder-season midweek stays, shorter lead times are usually workable.
What to expect
Sites near Hanwell range from full-hookup resort pads to basic wooded spots. Hartt Island RV Resort provides 30 and 50 amp service, municipal drinking water, sewer, a dump station, laundry, showers, Wi-Fi, and a water park, and accommodates big rigs. Mactaquac's campground includes tent, RV, and roofed sites, with power and water hookups at many sites and a dump station on the property.
Woolastook Park, a former provincial park now operated privately, has a mix of full-service and unserviced sites; note that on-site water at Woolastook is not potable, so bring drinking water. Cell coverage across the corridor is generally reliable, and grocery, fuel, and propane are available in Hanwell and along Prospect Street in Fredericton.
Black flies and mosquitoes peak from late May into early July, so pack repellent. Leashed pets are welcome at most parks, including on Mactaquac's trails.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Hanwell, NB
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Hanwell?
An RV rental in Hanwell is one of the more affordable ways to explore New Brunswick. Most local rentals range from about $150 to $250 CAD per night, with travel trailers being the most budget-friendly and Class A motorhomes at the higher end. For a cheap RV rental in Hanwell, look at midweek dates, shoulder-season trips in June or September, and smaller trailers that hosts can deliver to nearby Mactaquac Provincial Park. Many Hanwell hosts also offer generous mileage allowances or unlimited kilometres, which stretches your budget further on a Saint John River loop trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hanwell%2C%20New%20BrunswickWhat licence do I need to rent an RV in Hanwell?
Great news for first-time renters: a regular Class 5 New Brunswick driver's licence (or your home province or state equivalent) is all you need for the vast majority of RVs available to rent in Hanwell. There is no special RV endorsement required to drive Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, or fifth wheels under standard weight thresholds in New Brunswick. All RVezy guests must be 25 or older, and your ID is verified through the platform during booking. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you are road-ready for your Hanwell RV trip.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/services/services_renderer.200566.Driver_s_Licences.htmlIs my RV rental in Hanwell covered if something goes wrong?
Every RV rental in Hanwell booked on RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the Trans-Canada Highway with confidence. The protection plan helps cover accidental damage to the vehicle, and you choose your level of coverage during the booking process (it is set by RVezy, not the host). Whether you are parked at Mactaquac Provincial Park or rolling toward the Bay of Fundy, you are looked after. Review the coverage tiers at checkout so you pick the one that fits your trip style.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Hanwell RV trip plans change?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy (not the individual host) sets one clear cancellation policy across every motorhome rental in Hanwell, including a grace-period window after booking where you can cancel for a full refund. After that, your refund depends on how far in advance you cancel, with additional protections if a host cancels on you. You will see your exact terms in your booking dashboard the moment you reserve. Book early to lock in the best Hanwell RV (peak summer rigs go fast) knowing you have a clear cancellation policy backing you up.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Hanwell RV rental?
Yes, plenty of Hanwell hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental in Hanwell. Just use the Pet-Friendly filter when you search and you will see rigs where dogs (and sometimes cats) are welcome. Once you are on the road, leashed dogs are allowed on the trails at Mactaquac Provincial Park just 20 minutes away, including the popular Beaver Pond Trail, and most private campgrounds along the Saint John River valley welcome pets too. Pro tip: message the host before booking to share your dog's size and breed; many will say yes even on listings that look strict at first glance.
parcsnbparks.ca/en/parks/10/mactaquac-provincial-parkCan the RV be delivered to me in Hanwell?
Yes, RV delivery in Hanwell is one of the most popular options, especially for first-timers who would rather skip driving a big rig through downtown Fredericton. Many Hanwell hosts will deliver the motorhome or trailer right to your home, a friend's driveway, or directly to your campsite at Mactaquac Provincial Park or Hartt Island RV Resort. They will level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees are usually based on distance from Hanwell and are listed clearly on each RV's page before you book.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039106494-What-is-RV-deliveryHow far can I drive on a Hanwell RV trip and is there a mileage limit?
You will find many RV rentals with unlimited mileage in Hanwell, NB, plus others with generous daily allowances clearly listed on each RVezy listing. From Hanwell you can reach Mactaquac Provincial Park in about 20 minutes (25 km), Fundy National Park in roughly 2 hours (175 km), Saint John in 1.5 hours (110 km), and Hopewell Rocks in about 2.5 hours (220 km). Heading further? Moncton is around 2.5 hours and the PEI Confederation Bridge sits about 3.5 hours east. Pro tip: if you are planning a big loop, filter for unlimited-kilometre rigs to keep your fuel-and-mileage math simple.
tourismnewbrunswick.ca/Where are the best campgrounds near Hanwell to park my RV?
You are spoiled for choice for RV camping in Hanwell. The best campgrounds near Hanwell include Mactaquac Provincial Park (1,300 acres on the Saint John River with 300-plus serviced sites, beach, golf, and trails, about 20 minutes away), Hartt Island RV Resort (full hookups, pool, and riverfront sites right on the edge of Fredericton), Woolastook Park (a forested family favourite), and Mariners Point RV Campground in Upper Queensbury on Mactaquac Lake. For provincial sites, reserve through parcsnbparks.ca. Pro tip: Mactaquac's riverside loops fill up fastest, so book the moment summer reservations open in February.
parcsnbparks.ca/en/parks/10/mactaquac-provincial-parkWhen is the best time to rent an RV in Hanwell, New Brunswick?
The sweet spot for a Hanwell RV trip runs from late May through early October, when daytime highs sit between 21 and 27°C (70 to 81°F) and every campground on the Saint John River is open. Mid-September to mid-October is a local secret: warm days, cool nights, and brilliant Acadian-forest foliage with fewer crowds. July and August are peak family season, so book 2 to 3 months ahead. Winter rentals are possible too, with cold lows around -12°C (10°F) and great snowshoeing at Mactaquac. Pro tip: shoulder-season weekends often deliver better nightly rates and easier campground reservations.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.htmlI have never driven an RV before, is renting in Hanwell beginner-friendly?
Yes, first time renting an RV in Hanwell is very approachable. Traffic is light, Route 2 (the Trans-Canada) is wide and well-maintained, and you are minutes from quiet rural roads heading toward Mactaquac. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, slide-outs, water tanks, and generator use, and you can message them throughout the trip. Many hosts also offer delivery so you can skip driving entirely. For your first trip, consider a Class C motorhome or a small travel trailer; they handle much like a large van.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have a breakdown on my Hanwell RV trip?
You are never on your own. Every RV rental in Hanwell includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the RVezy protection plan, covering things like flat tires, battery boosts, lockouts, and towing. One phone call gets help dispatched whether you are on Route 2 outside Fredericton, deep in Fundy National Park, or on a quiet road near Mactaquac Dam. Your host is also just a message away for RV-specific questions like resetting a breaker or relighting the water heater. Save the roadside-assistance number at pickup so it is handy even if cell service gets spotty.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Hanwell RV rental across the border into the U.S. or to other provinces?
Travel across most of Canada and into the United States is often allowed on a Hanwell RV rental, and many hosts welcome cross-border trips to Maine, just an hour west via the Houlton or Calais border crossings. You will need to confirm with the host before booking, share your travel plan, and ensure cross-border coverage is selected. Popular routes include Hanwell to Bar Harbor (about 4 hours), Hanwell to Nova Scotia via Moncton (3.5 hours), and the full Atlantic loop through PEI. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental due to insurance limits.
cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/menu-eng.htmlHow much should I budget for fuel on a Hanwell RV road trip?
Fuel is the biggest variable cost, but it is easy to plan for. Most motorhomes rented in Hanwell average 16 to 25 L/100 km (about 9 to 15 mpg), while smaller campervans and trailer setups can do better. Gas in New Brunswick is regulated by the Energy and Utilities Board and typically sits around $1.65 to $1.85 CAD per litre. For an RV road trip from Hanwell to Fundy National Park and back (about 350 km), expect roughly $90 to $130 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up at the larger stations on Hanwell Road or in Oromocto before heading into rural areas where prices climb.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/eub.htmlHow far in advance should I book a campground near Hanwell?
For summer weekends at popular spots like Mactaquac Provincial Park, book the day reservations open. New Brunswick Parks opens nightly summer reservations in early February each year through parcsnbparks.ca, and the best Saint John River sites at Mactaquac can sell out within hours. For July and August trips, aim to reserve 2 to 3 months out; for shoulder-season camping in May, June, or September, 2 to 4 weeks is usually fine. Private parks like Hartt Island RV Resort book directly on their website. Local insider tip: Sunday-to-Thursday stays often have availability even when weekends are sold out.
parcsnbparks.ca/What are the driving conditions like around Hanwell?
Driving an RV around Hanwell is genuinely relaxed compared to most Canadian cities. Hanwell Road (Route 640) and Route 2 (the Trans-Canada) are wide, smoothly paved, and handle big rigs easily, and rush-hour traffic into Fredericton is brief and predictable. Watch for moose at dawn and dusk on rural stretches, sudden fog along the Saint John River in spring, and occasional black-ice mornings in late autumn. In winter, snowfall is steady, so most RV trips run May to October. Pro tip: avoid the narrow downtown Fredericton streets near the Historic Garrison District in a large Class A; park on the outskirts and walk in.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/dti/transportation/content/highways.htmlWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Hanwell?
Local campgrounds make RV life easy. Mactaquac Provincial Park offers 30-amp and some 50-amp electrical sites, water hookups, hot showers, a sani-dump station, a beach, golf, and a marina. Hartt Island RV Resort has full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50 amp), a heated pool, Wi-Fi, and laundry. Most private parks near Hanwell include fire pits, picnic tables, and potable water fills. For where to dump and fill water between stays, Mactaquac and Hartt Island both have public sani-dumps, and the Irving Big Stop in Lincoln (about 25 minutes away) is a popular fuel-and-dump combo stop. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot fresh-water hose; many sites are spread out.
parcsnbparks.ca/en/parks/10/mactaquac-provincial-parkWhat is included inside a typical Hanwell RV rental?
You will find Hanwell rentals come well-stocked for a real home-on-wheels experience. Most include a queen or king main bed plus convertible dinette or bunk beds (sleeps 4 to 8), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, cookware and dishes, a bathroom with toilet and shower, furnace and air conditioning, and seatbelts for every traveller in motorhomes. Many also feature a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and onboard generator for off-grid stops along the Saint John River. Wi-Fi varies by listing; cell-based hotspots work well around Hanwell and Fredericton. Pro tip: each listing has a checklist; filter by what matters most (generator, bunks, outdoor shower).
tourismnewbrunswick.ca/What add-ons and pickup options are available for a Hanwell RV rental?
Hanwell hosts make customization easy. Popular add-ons include bedding and linen kits, kitchen kits, portable BBQs, outdoor chairs and tables, bike racks, generators, and extra propane, all priced on the listing. Pickup is usually round-trip from the host's address in Hanwell or surrounding Fredericton-area communities, with delivery available for an extra fee based on distance. Mileage policies are shown upfront, ranging from set daily kilometres to fully unlimited. Ask the host about a generator or bike rack add-on if you plan to camp off-grid or explore the Saint John River trails.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hanwell%2C%20New%20BrunswickHow do payments and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy with a credit card when you book, no cash changes hands with the host. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card a few days before pickup, with the amount shown on each listing. As long as you return the RV in the agreed condition, cleanliness, and fuel level, the hold is released after your trip. Do a quick walkaround video at pickup and dropoff in Hanwell; it protects both you and your host and keeps the deposit process worry-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent a campervan in Hanwell for winter or cold-weather camping?
Yes, winter RVing is a growing scene around Hanwell. Some local hosts offer four-season rigs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, propane furnaces, and skirting kits, perfect for snowshoeing or ice-fishing weekends at Mactaquac Provincial Park (open year-round with un-serviced winter sites). Look for a campervan rental in Hanwell or a four-season trailer, and confirm with the host that the unit is winterized for use, not storage. Plug in at any site with shore power to keep the interior toasty when overnight temperatures drop to -15°C or below. Pro tip: pack extra propane; furnaces work hard on Maritime cold snaps.
