Campgrounds near Sussex
Sussex sits in the Kennebecasis River valley in southern New Brunswick, roughly halfway between Saint John and Moncton along the Trans-Canada Highway. The town works well as an RV base for exploring the Bay of Fundy region, with Fundy National Park within easy driving range, where the saltwater tides can rise 12 metres or more and visitors can walk on the ocean floor at low tide. Sussex is also known locally as the Mural Capital of Atlantic Canada, with dozens of large-scale murals painted on buildings throughout the town.
Private options closest to town include Sussex KOA Journey, All Done RV Camping, Millstream Scenic View Campground, Lone Pine Park and Cabins, and RiverRun Campground. The Sussex KOA Journey offers RV sites with hookups on Aiton Road just off Highway 890, along with tent sites and rustic accommodations.
Beyond the private parks, Fundy National Park is the closest federal campground network. It operates five front-country campgrounds with washrooms, showers and electrical, sewer and water hookups, plus eight backcountry campsites located at Goose River, Marven Lake, Foster Brook, Tracey Lake and Chambers Lake.
Things to do around Sussex
The main draw is the Bay of Fundy coast. Day trips from a Sussex-area campground can cover Fundy National Park, the Fundy Trail Parkway, and the Hopewell Rocks tidal flats. Fundy National Park is a Dark Sky Preserve, which makes it a strong pick for evening skywatching, and it also offers over 100 kilometres of hiking and biking trails, a heated saltwater pool, and a golf course.
Closer in, families can walk the Sussex mural trail through downtown, visit Poley Mountain for lift-served summer activities, and swim at spots along the Kennebecasis and Pollett rivers. The covered bridges of Kings County are another popular local drive.
Event weekends draw heavy RV traffic to the region. The Atlantic Balloon Fiesta, held every September on the weekend after Labour Day at Princess Louise Park, fills nearby campgrounds well in advance.

The RV season in the Sussex area runs roughly from mid-May through late September. Private parks such as Sussex KOA Journey typically operate from early May through the weekend of the Atlantic Balloon Fiesta in September, with the KOA listing an operating window of roughly May 8 to September 21. Chignecto and Point Wolfe campgrounds in Fundy National Park run from mid-May to early or mid-October, while Headquarters Campground operates year-round with reduced winter services.
July and August are peak. Warm days, long evenings and a full activity calendar make these the busiest weeks, and long weekends often carry minimum-stay requirements. The Balloon Fiesta weekend in September also books out early.
Spring is cool and often wet, with black flies and mosquitoes strongest in late May and June. September brings crisp nights, fewer bugs, and strong fall colour in the surrounding hills. Winter is cold and snowy; most private RV parks are closed, and Fundy National Park shifts largely to day-use with limited winter camping at Headquarters.

How to book
For Fundy National Park and other Parks Canada sites, book through the national reservation service at reservation.pc.gc.ca or by phone at 1-877-737-3783. Parks Canada launches reservations for each upcoming visitor season in January and early February, with launch dates that vary by park. Fundy sites and accommodations such as oTENTiks and yurts fill quickly, so booking on or shortly after the launch date is recommended, especially for peak-summer dates and backcountry sites.
Private campgrounds near Sussex take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. For festival weekends, particularly the Atlantic Balloon Fiesta, secure sites several months out.
What to expect on arrival
Sussex-area private campgrounds are geared to family RV travel, with hookups and playgrounds at the larger sites. Standard check-in at the Sussex KOA Journey is 3:00 pm with check-out at 11:00 am, and arrivals are asked to reach the gate by 8:00 pm.
Plan to buy firewood on site. Parks Canada prohibits importing firewood into Fundy National Park to limit the spread of invasive pests, and most private campgrounds follow similar rules and sell wood at the gate.
Cell service can be spotty once off the main highway, and coverage inside Fundy National Park is limited throughout much of the park. Download maps, reservations and Bay of Fundy tide tables before leaving town.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Sussex, NB
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Sussex, NB?
RV rental in Sussex, NB is surprisingly affordable compared to renting from a traditional dealership. On RVezy, travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 CAD per night, campervans range from $150 to $225, and larger Class C motorhomes run $200 to $325 per night, with prices peaking during the Atlantic International Balloon Fiesta in September and the Kings County Agricultural Fair in August. To score a cheap RV rental in Sussex, book midweek, target shoulder seasons in June or late September, and filter by Instant Book to compare quickly. Pro tip: bundling delivery with a multi-night stay near Fundy National Park often costs less than the daily mileage you would otherwise rack up.
tourismnewbrunswick.ca/listing/town-sussexDo I need a special licence to rent an RV in Sussex, New Brunswick?
Good news: your regular Class 5 driver's licence is all you need to rent an RV in Sussex, whether you choose a travel trailer, campervan, or Class C motorhome. No commercial licence, no air-brake endorsement, and no RV-specific training is required for the recreational vehicles listed on RVezy. Approved renters are generally 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID digitally through the platform, so there is no paperwork shuffle at pickup. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home-country licence plus an International Driving Permit and you are set. Most first-time renters tell us pickup felt easier than renting a moving truck.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection or insurance is included with my Sussex RV rental?
Every RV rental in Sussex booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can head toward Fundy National Park with real peace of mind. Renters choose from multiple protection levels at checkout, and each plan covers accidental damage to the RV up to defined limits during your trip. Roadside assistance is included with every protection plan, covering issues like flat tires, lockouts, and towing. Pair it with safe driving on Route 1 and you are in great shape for a Sussex RV trip across the Maritimes or a quick weekend at Poley Mountain.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat is the cancellation policy if my plans change?
Booking an RV rental in Sussex is low risk because RVezy, not the host, sets the cancellation policy. Cancellation terms depend on how far in advance you cancel relative to your trip start date, and the full schedule is detailed in the RVezy Help Center and inside your booking summary. If a host ever cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or helps you rebook. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best Sussex inventory for Balloon Fiesta weekend, then review your dates as the trip approaches.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Sussex RV rental?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in Sussex is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on the search page and you will see motorhomes and trailers that welcome your dog or cat, sometimes with a small cleaning fee disclosed upfront. Sussex is a great basecamp for pet travel because Fundy National Park allows leashed pets on most trails, and the Sussex Nature Walkway along the Trout Creek is a perfect short-leg stretch for restless pups. Princess Louise Park also has open green space close to downtown. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet rules and ask about nearby grassy spots at the campground they recommend.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nb/fundy/securite-safety/animaux-petsCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Sussex?
Yes, RV delivery in Sussex is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it is a game-changer if it is your first time renting an RV. Many local hosts will tow the trailer or drive the motorhome directly to your campsite at places like Sussex KOA Journey, Lone Pine Park Campground in Penobsquis, or even into Fundy National Park, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. You skip the stress of towing or backing into a tight site, and you get to start your vacation as soon as you arrive. Pro tip: message the host with your exact site number to confirm the delivery fee and access route.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nb/fundy/activ/campingHow many kilometres can I drive on a Sussex RV trip?
Mileage on a Sussex RV trip is set by each host, and many offer generous daily allowances or even RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal because the best stuff is spread out. From Sussex, you are roughly 75 kilometres from Saint John, 80 kilometres to Fundy National Park headquarters in Alma, 110 kilometres to the Hopewell Rocks, 120 kilometres to Moncton, and about 175 kilometres to Saint Andrews by-the-Sea. A typical 4-night loop covers 400 to 600 kilometres. Check the mileage policy on each listing before booking, and if you are planning a bigger Maritimes circuit, filter for unlimited kilometres to keep things simple at fuel-up time.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/dti/highways.htmlWhere are the best campgrounds near Sussex, NB?
The best campgrounds near Sussex, NB cover everything from full-service resorts to deep-woods serenity. Sussex KOA Journey, just off Route 1, offers full hookups, a pool, and Wi-Fi, making it a top pick for families. Lone Pine Park Campground in nearby Penobsquis adds a small golf course and hiking trails. Fundy National Park, about an hour south, has Headquarters, Chignecto North, and Point Wolfe campgrounds with stunning Bay of Fundy access. Town & Country Camping at Apohaqui is another local favourite along the Kennebecasis River. Pro tip: for RV camping in Sussex during Balloon Fiesta weekend, reserve at least three months ahead because nearby parks fill up fast.
reservation.pc.gc.ca/FundyWhen is the best time to plan a Sussex RV trip?
The sweet spot for RV camping in Sussex runs from mid-May through mid-October, with July and August delivering warm days of 22 to 26 degrees Celsius and comfortable nights for sleeping with the windows open. June brings lush green Kennebecasis Valley scenery and fewer crowds, while September is magical thanks to the Atlantic International Balloon Fiesta and the start of fall colour across the Caledonia Highlands. Winters are cold with regular snow, but Poley Mountain skiers can find heated, winterized motorhome rentals from select Sussex hosts. Pro tip: aim for the second weekend of September if you want to wake up to dozens of hot-air balloons drifting over your campsite.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/results_1991_2020_e.html?searchType=stnName&txtStationName=sussex&searchMethod=contains&txtCentralLatMin=0&txtCentralLatSec=0&txtCentralLongMin=0&txtCentralLongSec=0&stnID=6065&dispBack=0I have never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in Sussex?
You will do great, and Sussex is honestly one of the friendliest places in Canada for a first time renting an RV. Roads around town are wide, traffic is light, and the local highways like Route 1 and Route 10 have generous shoulders and gentle grades compared to mountain provinces. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup that covers driving, levelling, propane, water, and waste systems, and they stay reachable by phone or message during your trip. If you want to skip driving entirely, choose a host who offers delivery to your campground. Pro tip: do a short practice loop through the Princess Louise Park area before heading toward Fundy National Park.
www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/dti/transportation/content/driver_services.htmlWhat happens if something breaks down on my Sussex RV rental?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so whether you have a flat tire on Route 114 near the Hopewell Rocks or a propane issue at Point Wolfe Campground, one call dispatches help. Your host is also a message away for quick fixes like resetting the inverter or troubleshooting the awning. Sussex has reliable cell coverage and several auto service shops along Main Street and Leonard Drive if you need a hand. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number and your host's contact in your phone before you leave the driveway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Sussex RV rental across the border to the US or to other provinces?
Many hosts welcome cross-border and inter-provincial travel, which makes Sussex a fantastic launch pad. Popular routes include the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia (about 550 kilometres), Prince Edward Island via the Confederation Bridge (about 200 kilometres), and Bar Harbor, Maine through the St. Stephen border crossing (about 240 kilometres). Cross-border trips into the United States may be allowed depending on the host and their insurance, so confirm in the listing or by messaging before booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Pro tip: if you are planning a Maine RV road trip from Sussex, mention it during booking so the host can prepare the correct documentation and proof of insurance.
cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/td-dv-eng.htmlHow much should I budget for fuel on a Sussex RV trip?
Fuel is one of the biggest variables, but it is easy to plan for. Most travel trailers towed by half-ton trucks return 13 to 18 litres per 100 kilometres, campervans and Class B units sip around 12 to 15 litres, and larger Class C motorhomes burn 18 to 24 litres per 100 kilometres. Gas in Sussex is regulated by the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board and typically sits within a few cents of the provincial average. A 500-kilometre loop from Sussex to Fundy National Park, Hopewell Rocks, and back usually costs $90 to $160 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up at the Irving stations on Main Street before heading into Fundy where prices climb.
www2.snb.ca/content/snb/en/sites/petroleum-prices.htmlHow far in advance should I book a campground around Sussex?
For the headliner spots, book early. Fundy National Park campgrounds open reservations each January through the Parks Canada reservation system, and prime July and August weekends sell out within weeks, especially Point Wolfe and Chignecto North. Sussex KOA Journey takes reservations year-round and fills up around Balloon Fiesta weekend in September. Privately run parks like Lone Pine and Town & Country Apohaqui are easier to grab on shorter notice, often 2 to 4 weeks ahead. If you are planning a family RV trip in Sussex during the Kings County Agricultural Fair in August, lock in your site by April. Pro tip: midweek arrivals open up significantly more inventory across all local campgrounds.
reservation.pc.gc.ca/FundyWhat are the driving conditions like around Sussex?
Driving around Sussex is refreshingly relaxed. The Trans-Canada Highway (Route 2) and Route 1 are well-maintained, four-lane divided highways with gentle grades through the Kennebecasis Valley, perfect for easing into RV driving. Secondary roads like Route 111 toward St. Martins and Route 114 to Fundy National Park are scenic and curvier, with a few steep sections near the coast that require lower gears in larger motorhomes. Watch for moose at dawn and dusk between May and October, and expect occasional dense fog rolling in from the Bay of Fundy. Winter brings snow and ice from late November through March. Pro tip: download the 511 NB app for live road and weather updates before each leg.
www511.gnb.ca/en/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Sussex?
Campgrounds near Sussex range from full-service resorts to peaceful national park sites. Sussex KOA Journey offers 30 and 50-amp power, water, sewer, Wi-Fi, a pool, and a dump station. Fundy National Park has serviced sites at Headquarters Campground, plus unserviced and oTENTik options at Point Wolfe and Chignecto. Lone Pine Park provides hookups, laundry, and showers. For dumping waste and topping up fresh water on the road, the Irving Big Stop just off the Trans-Canada Highway in Sussex has a public RV dump station, and Fundy National Park provides one near the Headquarters entrance. Pro tip: arrive with a full freshwater tank when heading to Point Wolfe where fill stations are limited.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nb/fundy/activ/camping/servicesWhat is included inside a typical Sussex RV rental?
Sussex RV rentals come ready to camp. Expect comfortable sleeping for 2 to 8 depending on size, a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, sink, and cookware, plus a bathroom with toilet and shower in most Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels. Many listings include a furnace, air conditioning, a TV, and roof or portable solar, and a growing number offer Wi-Fi hotspots or Starlink for streaming after a day at Poley Mountain. Generators are common on motorhomes if you plan to boondock. Seatbelts are provided for every travelling passenger in motorized units. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps and scroll the photos carefully to confirm the bed layout works for your crew before you book.
tc.canada.ca/en/road-transportation/motor-vehicle-safety/motor-vehicle-safety-regulationsWhat add-ons and pickup options should I look for when I rent an RV in Sussex?
When you rent an RV in Sussex, the right add-ons can transform your trip. Common host extras include bedding and linen packages ($30 to $75), camp chairs and outdoor mats, bikes, kayaks, propane fire pits, generators, and Starlink internet. Many Sussex hosts offer delivery within 50 kilometres for a flat fee, with longer hauls to Fundy National Park or the Hopewell Rocks quoted on request. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or around Sussex, and orientation typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Mileage policies vary, so look for listings advertising unlimited kilometres if you plan a big Maritimes loop. Pro tip: bundle delivery, linens, and a propane fire pit for a hands-off arrival.
tourismnewbrunswick.ca/listing/town-sussexHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple, secure, and handled entirely inside RVezy, so there is no awkward cash exchange in a Sussex driveway. You pay with a major credit card when you book, and your total clearly breaks down the nightly rate, RVezy service fee, taxes, your chosen protection plan, and any host add-ons like delivery or a generator. The refundable security deposit is separate from the booking payment, pre-authorized before your trip, and released after the host confirms the RV came back in the same condition. Pro tip: take a short walkaround video at pickup and drop-off, and match the fuel and propane levels noted at pickup to ensure a smooth deposit return.
