Campgrounds near Starlight Village
Starlight Village sits in central New Brunswick along the Saint John (Wolastoq) River valley, just west of Fredericton. RV travellers use it as a base for river-valley touring, with a mix of full-service private resorts and provincial-park campgrounds within a short drive.
Hartt Island RV Resort sits along the banks of the Saint John River in Fredericton, with over 100 camping sites, and offers an on-site waterpark and mini golf available to campers. River Run Resort & Grill and Heritage Country Camping add further private-park options, while Woolastook Park provides a day-use and camping area on the reservoir.
Mactaquac Provincial Park is the largest public campground in the area, set on the Mactaquac headpond west of Fredericton. Together these parks give RV renters a range of choices, from full-hookup resort sites with amenities for kids to quieter provincial-park loops with beach and trail access.
Things to do near Starlight Village
The Saint John River drives most of the recreation here. Swimming beaches, boat launches, and paddling access points are spread along the Mactaquac headpond, and Mactaquac Provincial Park adds an 18-hole championship golf course, a marina, and a network of hiking trails including the Beaver Pond nature trail.
Fredericton is a short drive east and offers a walkable downtown, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, the Historic Garrison District, and riverside cycling paths connected to the Trans Canada Trail. The park also hosts TreeGo Mactaquac, an aerial adventure and zipline course.
Families staying at Hartt Island RV Resort have on-site water park and mini-golf access, while Woolastook Park is a common stop for a shorter day trip with kids. Anglers target smallmouth bass and muskellunge on the headpond.

The main camping season in this part of New Brunswick is short. Most private and provincial parks operate from mid-May through mid-October, with shoulder-season weather that can swing from frost to summer heat. Hartt Island RV Resort runs from May 1, weather permitting, through October 15 each year, while Mactaquac Provincial Park's main campground season runs from mid-May into fall, with limited winter camping available for experienced users.
July and August are the busiest months. Sites at Mactaquac Provincial Park fill quickly on summer weekends, especially around Canada Day and the New Brunswick Day long weekend in early August. Booking several weeks ahead is standard for full-hookup and waterfront sites.
Late May, June, and September are quieter and often more comfortable for touring. Blackflies and mosquitoes peak in late spring and early summer near wooded sites, and fall colour along the river valley usually peaks in early to mid-October.

How to book campgrounds near Starlight Village
Mactaquac Provincial Park is reserved through the New Brunswick Parks reservation system at parcsnbparks.ca. Seasonal campsite reservations typically open in mid-January, with nightly reservations opening in early February for the upcoming summer season. Popular waterfront and serviced sites for July and August are often claimed within the first weeks of reservations opening.
Private parks handle their own bookings. Hartt Island RV Resort takes reservations directly and through Campspot, while River Run Resort & Grill, Woolastook Park, and Heritage Country Camping accept phone and online bookings through their own sites.
For RV renters, confirm site length, hookup type (30-amp versus 50-amp), and slide-out clearance before booking. If a delivered RV rental is planned, coordinate the drop-off window with the campground office and note any check-in cut-off times.
What to expect
Expect a river-valley setting with a mix of open, grassy sites and treed loops. Bugs can be persistent in June, so screen rooms and repellent are worth packing. Cell coverage is generally strong near Fredericton and thinner in wooded provincial park loops.
Hartt Island offers full-service hookups including 50-amp and 30-amp electrical connections along with water and sewer, which suits larger Class A and fifth-wheel rentals. Mactaquac Provincial Park has a mix of unserviced, two-way, and three-way sites, so match the site type to the rental before arriving.
Groceries, propane, dump stations, and RV supplies are all easy to reach in the Fredericton area. Most parks are pet-friendly on leash, and quiet hours are enforced, particularly during peak summer weekends.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Starlight Village, NB
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Starlight Village, NB?
Renting an RV in Starlight Village is often more affordable than booking hotels in nearby Fredericton. Travel trailers and campervans typically start around $100 to $150 CAD per night, while larger Class A and Class C motorhomes generally range from $175 to $250 CAD per night in peak summer. Many hosts offer weekly or monthly discounts, which is great for longer trips along the Saint John River. For a cheaper RV rental in Starlight Village, target shoulder months like late May or September when demand drops but the weather is still pleasant. Pro tip: use the price filter on RVezy and message hosts about midweek specials.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Starlight%20Village%2C%20New%20BrunswickWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Starlight Village?
Good news: your regular Class 5 driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Starlight Village. No commercial license, special endorsement, or RV-specific training is required in New Brunswick, even for larger Class A motorhomes. To book through RVezy you generally need to be 25 or older and complete ID verification during checkout. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home country license, and an International Driving Permit is recommended if your license is not in English or French. Most first-time renters in Hanwell are surprised how quickly the process moves, and you can be road-ready in under an hour.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV insurance and roadside assistance included with my Starlight Village rental?
Yes, every RV rental in Starlight Village comes with an RVezy protection package and 24/7 roadside assistance built right into your booking. The protection package helps cover most accidental damage to the vehicle, giving you serious peace of mind on rural stretches of Route 2 or Route 8. You choose your coverage level during checkout, not the host, so you stay in control of how much protection you want. Whether you blow a tire near Mactaquac or need a battery boost outside Hanwell, help is one phone call away. That safety net is a big reason first-timers feel confident booking their first New Brunswick RV trip.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat if I need to cancel my Starlight Village RV rental?
Booking an RV rental in Starlight Village is low-risk because RVezy applies a clear, standardized cancellation policy that is not set by individual hosts. After a host accepts your booking, there is a short grace period for a full refund, and refund amounts after that depend on how far in advance you cancel. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or offers travel credits so your plans stay on track. You will see the exact policy details in the RVezy Help Center before you confirm, so you can lock in that summer New Brunswick RV trip early with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Starlight Village?
Absolutely, your furry co-pilot is welcome. Many hosts on RVezy offer pet-friendly RV rentals in Starlight Village: just use the Pet-Friendly filter when you search to see them instantly. Dogs love this area because Mactaquac Provincial Park has leashed-pet trails along the Saint John River, and Odell Park in nearby Fredericton offers 16 km of forested walking paths. New Brunswick Provincial Parks allow leashed dogs in all campgrounds (max 2 metre leash), and most beaches around Hanwell are dog-friendly outside swimming areas. Pro tip: message the host before booking to mention your pet's size and breed, and ask about any small pet cleaning fee so there are no surprises.
parcsnbparks.ca/Can the RV be delivered to my campsite in Starlight Village?
Yes, and it's the smartest move for first-timers. Many hosts offer RV delivery in Starlight Village and across the greater Hanwell and Fredericton area, meaning they'll drive the RV to Mactaquac Provincial Park, Hartt Island RV Resort, or even your private driveway, level it, hook up power, and walk you through every system. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see which listings include this service, then check the host's delivery radius and per-kilometre fee. This is perfect if you're flying into Fredericton International Airport (just 20 minutes away) or simply don't want to drive a big rig your first time. You arrive, they leave the keys, and your trip begins stress-free.
tourismnewbrunswick.ca/How far can I drive on a Starlight Village RV rental, and how do mileage policies work?
Most hosts in Starlight Village include a daily kilometre allowance (often 150 to 250 km per day), and many offer unlimited mileage add-ons that are perfect for longer trips. From Hanwell you're well-positioned for serious exploring: Fundy National Park is about 200 km southeast, Hopewell Rocks roughly 230 km, Kouchibouguac National Park around 280 km, and Cavendish on PEI about 330 km via the Confederation Bridge. Each listing shows its mileage policy clearly before you book, and overage fees usually run $0.25 to $0.50 per extra km. Pro tip: if you're planning a big Maritimes loop, filter for an RV rental with unlimited mileage so you can roam the Bay of Fundy and Acadian Coast without watching the odometer.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/dti.htmlWhere are the best campgrounds near Starlight Village?
You're spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Starlight Village include Mactaquac Provincial Park (about 25 km west, with full hookups, beaches, and an 18-hole golf course), Hartt Island RV Resort (10 minutes from Hanwell, with a waterpark and Saint John River frontage), Woolastook Park (wooded sites and kayak rentals just west of Fredericton), and Noteworthy Farm RV Park (a quieter farm-stay option close to home). For something rustic, the Yoho Lake area inside Hanwell offers crown-land camping nearby. Book provincial park sites through the New Brunswick Parks reservation system and private parks directly. Local tip: some smaller campgrounds hold a few unlisted walk-up sites, so calling ahead can land you a spot even on busy July weekends.
parcsnbparks.ca/When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Starlight Village?
Late May through late September is prime time for RV camping in Starlight Village, with daytime highs of 21 to 27 degrees Celsius (70 to 81 Fahrenheit) and long, golden evenings perfect for campfires. July and August are warmest and busiest. Early fall (mid-September to mid-October) is a local favourite: the maple, birch, and beech forests around the Saint John River valley explode into red and gold, and crowds thin out. Winters are genuinely cold (regular lows below -10 Celsius/14 Fahrenheit) with deep snow, but some hosts offer winter-ready rigs for snowshoeing trips or ice-fishing on Yoho Lake. Pro tip: book by March for prime July dates and by early August for foliage weekends.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.htmlI'm first time renting an RV. What support will I get in Starlight Village?
You will feel completely supported on your first RV rental in Starlight Village. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through the generator, awning, water tanks, propane, slide-outs, and dump procedures so you are never left guessing. You can message your host directly through the platform before and during your trip, and RVezy customer support is available throughout your booking. Every booking also includes 24/7 roadside assistance through the RVezy protection plan. First-timers in Hanwell often choose smaller Class C motorhomes or campervans for easier handling on the Trans-Canada Highway. Pro tip: read recent reviews to see exactly what each host's walkthrough covers.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if my RV breaks down on a trip from Starlight Village?
You are never stranded on an RV rental in Starlight Village. Every booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance through the RVezy protection plan, covering common issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and tows. If something goes wrong near Mactaquac, on the Trans-Canada Highway toward Moncton, or in the Appalachian foothills, one phone call connects you with help. Your host is also reachable through the RVezy messaging system and usually knows the rig inside-out, so quick fixes are often a short chat away. Pro tip: before pulling away from pickup in Hanwell, save the roadside assistance number in your phone and snap a photo of the host's walkthrough notes for later reference.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Starlight Village RV rental across the border into the US?
In many cases, yes. New Brunswick shares a long border with Maine, and the Houlton crossing is roughly 2 hours from Starlight Village, making US road trips very doable. Cross-border travel into the United States is allowed on many RVezy bookings, but it depends on the host's policy and insurance coverage, so confirm with the host through the RVezy messaging system before you book. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. Bring your passport, vehicle registration, and a signed letter from the host confirming you have permission to cross. Popular routes include Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor for lighthouses, lobster, and Atlantic coastline.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage and budget should I plan for an RV road trip from Starlight Village?
Fuel is one of the biggest variables, so plan smart. Class B campervans typically get 18 to 22 mpg (about 11 to 13 L/100 km), Class C motorhomes 10 to 14 mpg (17 to 24 L/100 km), and large Class A rigs 7 to 10 mpg (24 to 34 L/100 km). New Brunswick gas prices hover around $1.55 to $1.75 CAD per litre, and the province has regulated pricing updated weekly. For a typical 7-day Maritimes loop from Hanwell (around 1,200 km), budget $250 to $450 CAD for fuel depending on the rig. Pro tip: fill up in Oromocto or Fredericton before heading rural, and use the GasBuddy app to spot the cheapest pumps along Route 2.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/energy_utilities_board.htmlHow far ahead should I book a campground near Starlight Village?
For the best selection, book 2 to 3 months ahead for July and August, especially at Mactaquac Provincial Park and Hartt Island RV Resort, which fill up most summer weekends. New Brunswick Provincial Parks open their reservation system through parcsnbparks.ca in early spring (usually late March), and serviced sites at Mactaquac are claimed quickly. Private parks like Hartt Island take reservations directly through their website year-round. For shoulder season (May, September, early October), 2 to 3 weeks ahead is usually fine. Local insider tip: many smaller campgrounds around Hanwell and Oromocto keep a handful of first-come walk-up sites, so if you strike out online, a Friday afternoon phone call can still land you a weekend spot.
parcsnbparks.ca/What are driving conditions like for an RV around Starlight Village?
Driving an RV around Starlight Village is friendly for beginners. Local roads through Hanwell are well-paved and low-traffic, and major routes like the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 2) and Route 8 toward Miramichi are wide, with frequent rest areas. Watch for frost heaves and potholes in early spring (April to mid-May), occasional moose and deer in dawn/dusk hours, and fog patches near the Saint John River. Winters bring snow and ice from late November to March, so most rentals operate May through October. If city driving makes you nervous, request RV delivery in Starlight Village so the host handles the freeway portion. Pro tip: avoid Fredericton's Princess Margaret Bridge during 4 to 6 pm weekday rush hour.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/dti/highways.htmlWhat hookups and amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Starlight Village?
Most campgrounds near Starlight Village offer 15/30/50-amp power, potable water fill stations, and on-site dump stations. Mactaquac Provincial Park has full-service sites with water, electric, and sewer plus showers and laundry; Hartt Island RV Resort offers full hookups, Wi-Fi, a pool, and a waterpark; Woolastook Park provides electrical sites with a central dump and kayak rentals. Rustic provincial sites farther afield (like Mount Carleton, 3.5 hours north) are unserviced and best for self-contained rigs. Free public dump stations are available at several Irving gas station travel plazas along Route 2. Pro tip: top up fresh water at your campground before checkout day, and always dump grey before black for a cleaner hose.
parcsnbparks.ca/What amenities come inside an RV rental in Starlight Village?
More than you'd expect. Most RV rentals in Starlight Village come fully equipped: queen or king beds, a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink, cookware), a private bathroom with toilet and shower, a dinette, climate control (AC and propane furnace), and seatbelted seating for travel. Many include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and onboard generator for off-grid stays. Campervans are tighter but clever: think convertible beds, compact kitchenettes, and sometimes pop-tops. Class C motorhome rentals in Starlight Village are the sweet spot for families, often sleeping 4 to 6 with a bunk over the cab. Check each listing's amenities tab for specifics like Wi-Fi hotspot, bike racks, or solar panels, and message the host if you need something specific.
tourismnewbrunswick.ca/What popular add-ons can I get with my Starlight Village RV rental?
Hosts love making your trip easy with smart add-ons. Common extras for a Starlight Village RV trip include kitchen kits (dishes, utensils, coffee maker), linen and bedding packages, outdoor chairs and a propane fire pit, bike racks, kayak/SUP rentals (handy for the Saint John River), portable generators, and pet packages. Many hosts also offer delivery and setup for a flat fee, plus optional propane and dump-station service so you return the RV without a chore list. Add-on prices and mileage policies are shown on each listing before you check out. Pro tip: bundle linens and the kitchen kit on your first booking so you can show up with just a suitcase and groceries from the Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market.
tourismnewbrunswick.ca/How does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in Starlight Village?
Payment is straightforward and secure. When you book an RV rental in Starlight Village, you pay through the RVezy platform using a credit card or supported payment method, never directly to the host, which protects both sides. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment as a pre-authorization a few days before pickup, and it is released after the host confirms the RV was returned in good condition. Deposit amounts vary by rig but commonly range from $500 to $1,500 CAD. Pro tip: do a quick walkaround video at pickup and dropoff in Hanwell, noting any existing scratches or dings, so the deposit return is fast and friction-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat are the best road trips I can take from Starlight Village in an RV?
Starlight Village is a fantastic launch pad. Top RV road trips from Starlight Village include Fundy National Park and Hopewell Rocks (about 2 to 2.5 hours southeast, home to the world's highest tides), Kouchibouguac National Park on the Acadian Coast (3 hours northeast, a Dark Sky Preserve with sand dunes and warm-water beaches), Prince Edward Island via the Confederation Bridge (about 4 hours, perfect for Cavendish and Anne of Green Gables), and Cape Breton's Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia (around 7 hours, one of the world's great drives). For a shorter loop, head west to St. Andrews-by-the-Sea (1.5 hours) for whale watching. Pro tip: do Fundy at low tide and high tide for the full effect, and check the tide tables before you go.
