Campgrounds near Richibucto, New Brunswick
Richibucto sits on the Northumberland Strait coast of eastern New Brunswick, at the mouth of the Richibucto River. The town is the closest full-service base for exploring Kouchibouguac National Park, which lies just north and protects barrier islands, warm-water lagoons, salt marshes, and Acadian forest. The park covers 239 square kilometres and shelters the endangered piping plover along with one of the largest tern colonies in North America.
RV travellers have a mix of private and federal options within a short drive. South Kouchibouguac Campground is the main serviced campground inside the national park, with washrooms, showers, a dump station, and connections to cycling paths. Cote A Fabien Campground offers a smaller, unserviced setting along the Kouchibouguac Lagoon for travellers who want quieter surroundings.
Outside the park boundary, Wishwood Resort, Bouctouche Baie Chalets Et Camping, and Parc Daigles Park provide private-sector alternatives closer to Richibucto and Bouctouche Bay, useful when national-park inventory is full.
Things to do around Richibucto
Kouchibouguac National Park is the main draw. Kellys Beach and its boardwalk lead to warm, shallow Gulf of St. Lawrence swimming water, and the park rents kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, pedal boats, and bicycles during summer. More than 55 kilometres of gentle cycling and walking trails wind through the park, and boat tours run out toward the tern colonies and seal haul-outs.
The park is a designated Dark Sky Preserve, with stargazing programs running through the summer months. Cultural stops include Mi'gmaq and Acadian interpretation programs inside the park, and the Bouctouche dune, La Dune de Bouctouche, sits a short drive south. In winter, the park grooms cross-country ski trails and rents skis, snowshoes, and fat-tire bikes.

When to visit Richibucto
- spring
March - May
8° / -1°C 95 mmCool and wet; blackflies emerge in late spring
- summer
June - August
23° / 12°C 95 mmPeak season; warm beaches; book sites well ahead
- fall
September - November
12° / 3°C 115 mmFall colour; cooler nights; storm risk into October
- winter
December - February
-3° / -12°C 110 mmFreezing and snowy; serviced park campgrounds closed
The busiest window runs July through August, when Gulf water temperatures peak and families crowd the beaches. Long weekends around Victoria Day in May, Canada Day in July, New Brunswick Day in early August, and Labour Day in September are the tightest for site availability. Reserve well ahead for these dates.
Late spring and early autumn are quieter and cooler. Autumn brings strong fall colour through the Acadian forest and better hiking and cycling conditions, though services at some campgrounds scale back outside peak season. Blackfly and mosquito pressure is highest in June, so bring repellent and screened shelters if travelling early.
Winter transforms the park into a snow-sports base. The main serviced campgrounds close for the winter, but the Petit-Large primitive area stays open year-round for prepared campers, and groomed trails support cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

How to book
Sites inside Kouchibouguac National Park are booked through the Parks Canada Reservation Service. Reservations for the visitor season normally launch in January, with each park assigned its own launch day, so booking on launch morning is advised for peak July and August dates. All front-country reservations are site-specific, meaning the exact campsite is selected at the time of booking.
Reservations can be made online at reservation.pc.gc.ca or by phone at 1-877-RESERVE (1-877-737-3783). A valid national park entry pass is required in addition to camping fees.
Private campgrounds near Richibucto and Bouctouche, including Wishwood Resort, Bouctouche Baie Chalets Et Camping, and Parc Daigles Park, are booked directly with each operator and often have availability when the national park is sold out.
What to expect
South Kouchibouguac is the largest campground in the area, with 311 sites, flush washrooms, showers, a dump station, kitchen shelters, and playgrounds. It offers full-hookup, electric-only, and unserviced sites, with an RV length limit of about 35 feet. Wi-Fi is available in parts of the campground, mainly in open areas and at kitchen shelters, but not at Cote A Fabien.
Cote A Fabien is smaller with 31 unserviced sites, outhouses, and a hand pump for water. It sits along the Kouchibouguac Lagoon near Loggiecroft wharf and suits tenters and small rigs rather than large motorhomes.
Importing firewood into the park is prohibited to prevent the spread of invasive insects, and firewood is sold on site. Pets must be leashed at all times.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Richibucto, NB
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Richibucto, New Brunswick?
RV rental in Richibucto is one of the most affordable ways to experience New Brunswick's Acadian Coast. Motorhomes near Richibucto average around $200 CAD per night, while towable trailers typically run about $120 CAD per night, and most hosts offer 10 to 20 percent discounts on weekly or monthly bookings. To find a cheap RV rental in Richibucto, aim for shoulder season (mid-May to mid-June or September), travel mid-week, and use the price filter to sort by lowest nightly rate. Pro tip: a travel trailer plus a few nights at Kouchibouguac National Park (just 20 minutes north) is the sweet spot for a budget-friendly family RV trip Richibucto travellers rave about.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nb/kouchibouguacDo I need a special licence to rent an RV in Richibucto, NB?
Good news: for almost every RV rental in Richibucto, your regular Class 5 driver's licence is all you need. New Brunswick permits drivers with a standard licence to operate any two- or three-axle motorhome and to tow a recreational vehicle registered up to 4,500 kg, which covers the vast majority of motorhomes, campervans, travel trailers, and fifth wheels on RVezy. You'll need to be at least 25 years old, and ID is confirmed quickly through the RVezy platform during booking. Visiting from outside Canada? Your home country's full licence works in New Brunswick, and an International Driving Permit is a smart add-on if your licence isn't in English or French. Most first-time renters are surprised how simple it is.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/public-safety/services/services_renderer.8965.Driver_s_Licence.htmlIs RV rental in Richibucto protected if something goes wrong?
Every booking on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can rent an RV in Richibucto with real peace of mind. During checkout you (not the host) choose the protection level that fits your trip, with options that cover damage to the RV up to defined limits. Combined with 24/7 roadside assistance that can dispatch help anywhere along Route 11 or near Kouchibouguac National Park, you can focus on the beach and the lobster rolls instead of the what-ifs. Pro tip: review the coverage details on the RVezy insurance page before booking so you know exactly what is included for your Richibucto RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Richibucto plans change?
Booking an RV rental in Richibucto is low-risk because RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy for every trip, and the policy is applied consistently across listings. There is a grace period right after booking during which you can cancel for a full refund, and the refund amount after that depends on how far in advance of your trip you cancel. If a host needs to cancel, RVezy helps you with a refund or rebooking credit. Because Atlantic Canada weather can occasionally bring a coastal storm, this built-in flexibility matters. Pro tip: book your Richibucto RV early to lock in the best rigs for July and August, then use the in-app messaging tool to confirm trip details with your host.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV trip from Richibucto?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental Richibucto options are easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on the search page and you'll see only listings whose owners welcome four-legged travellers. Kouchibouguac National Park, just 20 km north, allows leashed dogs on most trails, beaches (outside of piping plover protection zones), and in all front-country campgrounds at South Kouchibouguac. The boardwalk to Kellys Beach is a particular tail-wagger favourite. Pro tip: message the host through the listing before booking to confirm pet fees and any size limits, then pack a towel for sandy paws after a Northumberland Strait swim.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nb/kouchibouguac/visit/chiens-dogsCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Richibucto?
Yes, RV delivery Richibucto is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters. Many local hosts will tow the trailer or drive the motorhome straight to your campsite at South Kouchibouguac, CĂŽte-Ă -Fabien, Jardine Memorial Park, or a private campground like Wishwood Resort, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. This means you can fly into Greater Moncton International Airport (about 75 minutes south), rent a regular car, and meet your fully set-up RV at the campground. Pro tip: filter listings by Delivery and ask the host their per-kilometre fee when messaging, then book your campsite first so you have an address to share.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nb/kouchibouguac/activ/campingHow many kilometres can I drive on a Richibucto RV rental?
Mileage on your Richibucto RV trip is flexible because each host sets their own policy, and many offer generous daily allowances or even RV rental with unlimited mileage. You'll see the exact daily kilometres included and any per-kilometre overage rate listed on every RVezy listing before you book, so there are no surprises. For most Richibucto trips that's plenty: Kouchibouguac National Park is only 20 km away, Shediac (Lobster Capital of the World) is 60 km south, and Bouctouche Dune is about 35 km. Pro tip: if you're planning a longer Acadian Peninsula loop, filter by unlimited mileage and you can roam from the Confederation Bridge to Miramichi without watching the odometer.
tourismnewbrunswick.ca/products/k/kouchibouguac-national-parkWhere are the best campgrounds near Richibucto?
You're spoiled for choice for RV camping Richibucto. The headliner is Kouchibouguac National Park, with 311 serviced sites at South Kouchibouguac (showers, dump station, playground) and 32 quieter unserviced sites at CĂŽte-Ă -Fabien, both right on the Kouchibouguac River. In town, Parc Municipal Jardine (Jardine Memorial Park) offers electric sites, a pool, laundry, and showers steps from the Richibucto waterfront. Just down Route 134, Wishwood Resort in Richibouctou-Village has 40 full-hookup sites, and Camping Cap LumiĂšre sits right on the gulf. Pro tip: reserve South Kouchibouguac through the Parks Canada Reservation Service the day reservations open in mid-January, especially for July weekends, when sites near the Kellys Beach boardwalk vanish fast.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nb/kouchibouguac/activ/camping/camping-information-pcrsWhen is the best time of year to rent an RV in Richibucto?
Late June through early September is the sweet spot for your Richibucto RV trip, when daytime highs sit around 24 to 26 C, Gulf of Saint Lawrence water temperatures reach a swimmable 19 to 20 C by early August (some of the warmest saltwater north of Virginia), and Kouchibouguac's beaches and bike trails are fully open. July is the driest month of the year here, which is rare for Atlantic Canada. Shoulder seasons (mid-May to mid-June and mid-September to mid-October) bring cooler nights, fewer crowds, fall colours along the Acadian Coastal Drive, and noticeably cheaper rates. Pro tip: aim for the first two weeks of August if you want both warm swim days and the National Acadian Day celebrations on August 15.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/results_1991_2020_e.htmlI've never driven an RV before. Is renting in Richibucto a good first-time experience?
Richibucto is genuinely one of the best places in Canada for a first time renting an RV. Roads here are flat, lightly trafficked, and easy to navigate, Route 11 is a wide divided highway, and Route 134 along the coast is a relaxed scenic drive with plenty of pull-offs. Every RVezy host provides a full orientation at pickup, walking you through driving tips, hookups, the propane system, slide-outs, and the dump valves, so you never have to figure things out alone. You can also message your host any time during the trip, and 24/7 roadside assistance is one tap away. Pro tip: pick a Class B campervan or a small Class C for your first booking, both handle like an oversized minivan on Richibucto's quiet roads.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/dti/highways.htmlWhat happens if my RV breaks down during my Richibucto trip?
You are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance, so if you get a flat near Kouchibouguac, lock the keys inside at Kellys Beach, or have a battery issue at Jardine Memorial Park, you call one number and help is dispatched. Common issues like tire changes, jump-starts, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing are handled directly, and your host is also reachable by message inside the RVezy app for questions about how a specific system works. Pro tip: cell coverage is solid along Route 11 and Route 134 but can get spotty on Kouchibouguac's interior trails, so save the roadside assistance number to your phone before you head into the park.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat road trips can I take from Richibucto?
Richibucto is an outstanding launchpad for an RV road trip from Richibucto along Atlantic Canada's coast. Popular routes include the Confederation Bridge crossing to Prince Edward Island (about 95 km south, then a 13 km bridge to Borden-Carleton), Shediac and Parlee Beach Provincial Park (60 km, lobster-roll heaven), Hopewell Rocks and the Bay of Fundy tides (160 km south), Miramichi and the Acadian Peninsula (90 to 220 km north), and Halifax, Nova Scotia (about 380 km, around 4.5 hours). Cross-border travel to other Canadian provinces is generally allowed on RVezy rentals (confirm with your host before booking); travel into the United States may be allowed depending on the host and insurance, while travel to Mexico is not permitted. Pro tip: PEI is the easiest add-on, just budget for the bridge toll on the return trip.
confederationbridge.com/travel-information/tolls-and-fares.htmlHow much should I budget for fuel on a Richibucto RV trip?
Fuel costs in New Brunswick are very manageable, which keeps your Richibucto RV trip budget-friendly. Expect Class B campervans to deliver roughly 9 to 11 L/100 km (around 22 to 26 mpg), Class C motorhomes 16 to 20 L/100 km, and larger Class A or fifth-wheel setups 20 to 28 L/100 km. New Brunswick gas prices are regulated weekly by the Energy and Utilities Board, so you can check the official maximum price before you fill up, with no nasty surprises. The closest 24-hour stations to Richibucto are along Route 11 at the Highway 116 interchange and in nearby Rexton. Pro tip: top up in Moncton or Shediac before heading north, where prices are typically a cent or two lower than at the smaller coastal stations.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/energy-utilities-board/petroleum/maximum_prices.htmlHow far ahead should I book a campsite near Richibucto?
For the best campgrounds near Richibucto, book as early as you can, especially for Kouchibouguac National Park. Parks Canada opens its reservation system for the upcoming summer in mid-January, and South Kouchibouguac's prime riverside and shower-block sites for July and August often fill within days. Reservations are made online or by phone through the Parks Canada Reservation Service (1-877-RESERVE / 1-877-737-3783). Private campgrounds like Wishwood Resort and Camping Cap Lumiere typically open bookings in March and have more last-minute availability. Pro tip: if you miss the January window, check the Parks Canada site weekly, since Kouchibouguac sites free up regularly as plans change.
reservation.pc.gc.ca/What are driving conditions like around Richibucto?
Driving around Richibucto is refreshingly easy compared to most RV destinations. Route 11 is a wide, divided four-lane highway connecting Moncton to the Acadian Peninsula, with gentle grades and very little congestion outside of August long weekend. Route 134 hugs the coast through fishing villages, a scenic, slow drive with the occasional sharp turn near bridges over the Richibucto and Saint-Charles rivers. Watch for moose and deer at dawn and dusk (signs are well marked), and from December through April expect snow and the possibility of icy conditions, which is why most hosts list their RVs from May to October. Pro tip: New Brunswick uses 511 for real-time road conditions, bookmark it on your phone before you set out.
www511.gnb.ca/en/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Richibucto?
Campgrounds around Richibucto are well-equipped for a comfortable RV stay. South Kouchibouguac has 311 sites with 2-way (water and electric) hookups, a dump station, hot showers, flush toilets, laundry, a playground, kitchen shelters, and Wi-Fi in open areas near the kitchen shelters. Jardine Memorial Park in town offers electric sites, water fill-up, a dump station, showers, laundry, an outdoor pool, and Wi-Fi. Wishwood Resort provides 50-amp full hookups (sewer included), perfect for bigger rigs. The most convenient public dump station is at South Kouchibouguac's exit road; potable water is available at communal taps throughout the campground. Pro tip: bring drinking-water hoses and a 30-amp to 15-amp adapter, the standard New Brunswick setup is 30-amp service.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nb/kouchibouguac/activ/camping/sud-southWhat's typically included inside RVs rented near Richibucto?
RVs on RVezy near Richibucto come ready to camp. Expect a fully equipped kitchen (fridge, freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink, cookware, and dishes), an enclosed bathroom with toilet and shower in most Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels, a furnace and air conditioner, and sleeping arrangements for 2 to 8 depending on the layout. Many also include a TV, awning, outdoor chairs, and a generator or solar setup for off-grid stays. Wi-Fi inside the rig is occasional, but cellular coverage along Route 11 and at Kouchibouguac is reliable enough for hotspots. Pro tip: each listing has a full amenity checklist, filter by Sleeps and bathroom type to make sure your family's needs are covered before you book your motorhome rental Richibucto.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nb/kouchibouguac/activ/campingWhat add-ons and pickup options are available for a Richibucto rental?
Hosts in the Richibucto area offer a long list of add-ons that make your trip easier. Common options include delivery and setup at your campground, generators, propane top-ups, bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, outdoor furniture, bike racks, paddleboards or kayaks (perfect for the Richibucto River lagoons), and even pre-stocked groceries. Pickup is straightforward, you meet the host at their address for a 30 to 60 minute orientation, or arrange delivery to your campsite. Mileage policies and pet fees vary by listing and are always shown upfront before you book. Pro tip: ask about a paddleboard add-on, the calm lagoons inside Kouchibouguac National Park are some of the most beginner-friendly paddling water in Atlantic Canada.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nb/kouchibouguac/activ/eau-waterHow does payment and the security deposit work for a Richibucto RV rental?
Payment on RVezy is simple and secure: you pay for your booking through the platform using a major credit card, and funds are protected by RVezy until your trip begins. A separate security deposit hold is placed on your card before pickup (the amount is shown on the listing) and is released after the RV is returned in the same condition, separate from your booking payment. Most renters never see a charge against it. To avoid issues, do a quick walkaround video with your host at pickup and drop-off, keep the holding tanks dumped, and refuel to the level noted on your contract before returning the RV. Pro tip: if you are flying into Moncton for your Richibucto RV rental, use a travel-rewards Visa or Mastercard for the booking payment.
