Things to do at Mactaquac Provincial Park
- Mactaquac Beach and Swimming Area EasyRV parking available
The park's supervised sand beach on the Mactaquac headpond is the main summer gathering spot. Shallow, slow-moving water and change facilities make it family friendly, with RV-accessible day-use parking close to the shore.
- Mactaquac Golf Course EasyRV parking available
An 18-hole championship golf course operates within the park boundary. The clubhouse and large parking area easily accommodate RVs, and tee times are open to registered campers and day visitors.
- Park Hiking and Cycling Trails EasyRV parking available
Mactaquac has a network of multi-use trails looping through mixed Acadian forest and along the headpond shoreline. Routes range from short interpretive walks near the day-use area to longer wooded loops suitable for trail running and mountain biking.
- Marina and Boat Launch EasyRV parking available
A full-service marina and concrete boat launch give paddlers and boaters direct access to the Mactaquac headpond. The reservoir is popular for kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and fishing for smallmouth bass and muskellunge.
- Mactaquac Dam Viewpoint EasyRV parking available
The Mactaquac Generating Station and its spillway can be viewed from pullouts along Route 105 just outside the park. It is a quick scenic stop that showcases the dam that created the headpond and reshaped this stretch of the Saint John River.
- Day Trip to Downtown Fredericton Easy
The provincial capital sits about 25 to 30 minutes downriver and makes an easy day trip from the park. Highlights include the riverfront Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge, Garrison District, Beaverbrook Art Gallery, and the Saturday Boyce Farmers Market.
- Kings Landing Historical Settlement EasyRV parking available
Kings Landing is a large living-history village roughly 20 minutes west of the park off the Trans-Canada Highway. Costumed interpreters and restored 19th-century buildings recreate rural life in the Saint John River Valley, and the site has dedicated bus and RV parking.
Top Hosts near NB, Canada
We had a wonderful experience with this camper rental! As a family of three, we had plenty of room to spare. I was able to store all of our food in the pantry and fridge with space left over, which worked perfectly for our four-day trip. Both the heater and air conditioner worked great, keeping us comfortable throughout. If you’re traveling with a toddler in a pack ’n play, it fits perfectly in one of the tent ends once you remove the mattress. Set-up and take-down were straightforward and quick, even with unpacking and repacking food and bags. Check-in and return were smooth and easy. All of the directions you need are posted inside the camper, which was super convenient. One tip: bring a few extra-thick blankets. The nights were chilly, and while the heater kept us cozy (especially with a little one), two adults alone would probably be fine with just some extra blankets. The tent end beside the bathroom doesn’t get quite as much heat due to the wall blocking airflow, but that’s more of a small observation than a drawback. Host was fantastic, very friendly, helpful, and kind during both pick-up and drop-off. We’d happily rent from them again!

We had a great time camping at New River Beach with this hybrid trailer. Easy to tow, set up, and take down. Mathew and Cheyenne were great throughout the whole rental process.

How to get to Mactaquac Provincial Park
The park sits off Route 105 on the north side of the Saint John River, about a 25 to 30 minute drive west of Fredericton. From Fredericton, follow Route 102 or Route 105 upriver; from the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 2), take Exit 274 and cross the Mactaquac Dam on Route 105. Approach roads are paved and RV-friendly with no tunnels or extreme grades, though Route 105 is a rural two-lane highway so watch for tight shoulders and wildlife. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent trips is Fredericton International Airport (YFC), roughly 40 kilometres southeast of the park.
