Best time to visit Kouchibouguac National Park
Late June through August is the prime window, when ocean water in the lagoons often reaches the warmest temperatures in the Maritimes, campgrounds are fully open, and interpretive programs run daily. July and August offer the busiest beach scene at Kellys Beach, so reservations should be secured well in advance. Early September is an excellent shoulder season for RV travel, with mild days, fewer bugs, and easier site availability. Spring can be cool and wet, and many park services run on a reduced schedule before late May.

How to get to Kouchibouguac National Park
The park entrance is on Route 117 off Highway 11, roughly 100 km north of Moncton (about a 1 hour, 15 minute drive) and about 85 km south of Miramichi. Highway 11 is a modern divided highway with gentle grades and no tunnels or weight-restricted passes, making it straightforward for any RV length. Fly-and-rent travelers typically use Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport (YQM) as the nearest major airport, with Miramichi Airport (YCH) offering a regional alternative. Expect narrow two-lane sections on Route 117 near the park gate and watch for moose and deer at dawn and dusk.
