Featured RV rentals for New River Beach Provincial Park
Best time to visit New River Beach Provincial Park
Late June through August is the best window for RV travel, when the campground and supervised beach are fully open and daytime highs are warm enough for swimming in the cool Fundy waters. July and August bring the busiest weekends, so midweek stays and advance reservations are recommended. Early June and September offer quieter shoulder-season camping with cooler nights and fewer crowds, though beach supervision and some services wind down outside peak summer. The park typically closes for the winter, so plan RV trips between late spring and early fall.

How to get to New River Beach Provincial Park
The park sits just off Route 1 on New Brunswick's Fundy coast, roughly a 45 to 60 minute drive west of Saint John and about an hour east of St. Stephen and the Calais, Maine border crossing. Route 1 is a modern four-lane highway well suited to RVs, with gentle grades and no tunnels or low-clearance restrictions on the main approach, though drivers should watch for fog, crosswinds along the coast, and wildlife at dawn and dusk. Saint John Airport (YSJ) is the nearest option for fly-and-rent travellers, while Fredericton (YFC) and Halifax Stanfield (YHZ) are larger alternatives within a half-day drive. From Route 1 take the signed New River Beach exit and follow the short paved access road directly to the day-use and campground entrances.
