Campgrounds and RV parks near Saint John, NB

Saint John sits on the Bay of Fundy in southern New Brunswick, where the world's highest tides shape the coastline and drive the region's natural attractions. RV travellers use the city as a base for exploring the Fundy coast, the Saint John River valley, and the coastal islands west toward St. Andrews. Route 1 runs east-west through the region and links most nearby campgrounds to the city. Campgrounds cluster in three directions. West of the city, Hardings Point Campground Inc sits on the Kingston Peninsula overlooking the Saint John River, reached by a short free cable ferry. North along the river, Oak Point Kiwanis Park and Hidden Valley Campground draw families with river access and quieter, inland settings. Along the coast toward St. Andrews, New River Beach Provincial Park offers a tidal beach and forested sites, and Fundy Woods Campground & Cottages provides a wooded base near St. Martins and the sea caves. Most sites are seasonal, running roughly mid-May through late September, with a few private parks opening in late April and closing in October.

New River Beach Provincial Park is booked through the NB Parks reservation system at parcsnbparks.ca. Seasonal (full-summer) sites go on sale in mid-January for a roughly two-week window, and nightly reservations for all New Brunswick provincial parks open together in early February at 9 a.m. Atlantic time. Setting up an account before the opening date shortens the checkout window on release day. Hardings Point Campground Inc, Oak Point Kiwanis Park, Hidden Valley Campground, and Fundy Woods Campground & Cottages are privately operated and take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites. Waterfront and full-service sites at the private parks book earliest, often by late winter for peak July and August weekends. Deposits and cancellation windows vary by park, so confirm the policy at the time of booking.
