Camping Arc En Ciel
Overview
Overview
Camping Arc En Ciel in Petit-Shippagan, New Brunswick offers travelers an authentic maritime camping experience along the scenic Acadian Peninsula. Named after the French term for rainbow, this coastal destination places visitors in direct contact with the breezy Atlantic climate, salty air, and vast skies characteristic of eastern Canada. Road-trippers exploring the Maritimes will find this location ideal for experiencing authentic Acadian culture and coastal landscapes.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the northeastern corner of New Brunswick along Route 11, the property is surrounded by the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Baie des Chaleurs. The terrain features flat coastal expanses, saltwater marshes, and sweeping ocean vistas. Travelers arriving from Moncton or Campbellton navigate well-paved provincial highways leading through dense evergreen forests and quiet fishing communities before reaching the windswept shores of the peninsula.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details such as electrical hookups, dump stations, and water source configurations are not globally published, visitors should contact the management directly. When planning your stay at Camping Arc En Ciel, be sure to inquire about site dimensions, pull-through availability, and specific hookup amperages. Establishing these details ahead of time ensures your rig matches the terrain and layout of the grounds.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding region is rich in maritime heritage and natural beauty. Visitors frequently explore the nearby Village Historique Acadien in Caraquet to step back into 18th-century life. Outdoor enthusiasts can access the extensive coastal cycling routes, launch sea kayaks into sheltered bays, or visit Miscou Island to photograph its historic lighthouse and peat bogs. Fresh seafood is readily available at local docks and markets throughout the peninsula.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits road-trippers, coastal explorers, and cultural travelers looking to experience the unique flavor of Acadian New Brunswick. It fits those who prefer slower-paced coastal itineraries over massive resort parks. Photographers, birdwatchers, and seafood lovers passing through the Acadian Peninsula will find the geographic setting offers plenty of day-trip potential and scenic coastal rewards.

A welcoming and peaceful place with dedicated and warm owners. You can't help but feel good there. We stayed there for 5 days in a tent and everything was perfect. If you're looking for a small campsite with direct access to the sea, you'll definitely be served. We were charmed from start to finish. We recommend it 100%! 🦞🌊☀️

Lovely small campground. The bathrooms are very nice, there's a lighted walkway over the marshy area to the beach. They have a small bar where the campers can meet & share stories & have a libation or 2. The proprietors are the best!
