Fundy/Point Wolfe

Overview

Point Wolfe Campground offers a deeply immersive nature experience situated at the end of the road in Fundy National Park, NB. Reaching this destination is an adventure in itself, as visitors must drive across the iconic Point Wolfe Covered Bridge to enter the area. This rustic setting provides a sense of seclusion that is increasingly rare in popular national parks, allowing travelers to disconnect from the hustle of daily life and reconnect with the rugged beauty of the Atlantic coast.

Location & Surroundings

The campground is nestled within a lush forest perched above the Bay of Fundy, where the world’s highest tides shape the landscape twice daily. The surrounding terrain is characterized by steep red cliffs and the winding Point Wolfe River. Its remote location means less traffic and more opportunities to observe local wildlife or listen to the rhythmic sounds of the ocean and rustling leaves. The area is a prime example of the Acadian Forest meeting the sea.

Amenities & Park Features

As a more traditional camping area, Point Wolfe features unserviced sites that cater to those who prefer a self-contained experience. The facility provides essential comforts to ensure a pleasant stay, including:

• Hot showers and flush toilets located in clean, central washroom facilities.
• Communal kitchen shelters for food preparation and protection from the elements.
• Individual fire pits at each site for evening campfires.
• Proximity to several of the park's most popular coastal trailheads.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Hikers will appreciate the immediate access to the Point Wolfe Beach trail, where the river meets the incoming tide. Other nearby highlights include the Coppermine Trail and the scenic Dickson Falls. Just a short drive away, the charming village of Alma offers local seafood and a glimpse into the region's fishing culture. Exploring the seafloor at low tide remains a must-do activity for every visitor, providing a unique perspective on the power of the Bay of Fundy tides.

Who This Park Is Best For

This park is an ideal match for campervan travelers and those with small trailers who value quiet and natural beauty over luxury resort amenities. Due to the height and weight clearance limits of the covered bridge, it is not suitable for large motorhomes or heavy fifth wheels. It is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts looking for a tranquil base camp to explore New Brunswick’s coastal wilderness and dramatic maritime heritage.
