Kiwanis Ocean Front Camping
Overview
Kiwanis Ocean Front Camping is a unique destination managed by the local Kiwanis Club, offering a welcoming atmosphere in the heart of historic St. Andrews-by-the-Sea. This park is celebrated for its scenic coastal views and its direct access to the Bay of Fundy, where the world's highest tides dictate the rhythm of the day. It provides a community-focused environment where travelers can enjoy a peaceful stay while supporting local charitable initiatives through their park fees.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated on the eastern edge of the peninsula, providing guests with unobstructed ocean vistas and refreshing salt air. The surrounding landscape features rugged shorelines and a proximity to the town center that allows for easy walking or cycling. Being located in a National Historic District, the park is surrounded by architectural charm and lush coastal greenery, making it a picturesque base for exploring the Passamaquoddy Bay region.
Amenities & Park Features
Guests will find practical conveniences designed for a comfortable stay, including sites equipped with three-way hookups for water, sewer, and electricity. The park offers essential facilities such as clean washrooms, hot showers, and a laundry area to accommodate long-term travelers. Families often appreciate the on-site playground and communal fire pits, which serve as gathering spots for watching the sunset over the water or sharing stories with neighbors after a day of exploration.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The location serves as a gateway to many local treasures, including the historic Ministers Island, which is accessible by vehicle only during low tide across the ocean floor. Visitors can spend their days on whale-watching excursions departing from the town wharf or exploring the botanical beauty of Kingsbrae Garden. For those interested in marine life, the Huntsman Fundy Discovery Centre is just a short distance away, offering interactive exhibits that highlight the region's biodiversity.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is an ideal choice for nature lovers and families who want a mix of outdoor beauty and small-town convenience. It appeals to RVers who enjoy being within walking distance of local shops and restaurants while still having a front-row seat to the natural wonders of the bay. It is perfect for those seeking a relaxed, community vibe rather than a high-traffic commercial resort, offering a meaningful connection to New Brunswick culture.

Truly one of the most beautiful parks we've ever stayed at! Words can't do it justice. The staff is amazing! We had a water leak and there's even someone on site that could fix it. They can make you a fresh lobster dinner and deliver it to your site at your specified time! Can't ask for more. The sites are spacious and well appointed. There's a park across the street and backs up to an awesome paved multi-use trail. We are beyond thrilled, we don't want to leave!

Only thing good about this place is location. People working here are super unfriendly and don’t want to be bothered with you. Washrooms/showers are disgusting! Charge for wifi, packed park. Luckily the orher campers were very friendly.

Wasn't a huge fan! There was nothing to do, if you didn't bring it yourself (besides the beautiful beach across the road of course) Everyone in the entire campground was all in their campers by 9pm sharp on a weekend. You literally have to pay for wifi separately, all of which we found VERY odd. It was very crowded.. it's mostly an RV campground. Not very many places for tents. Plus side there was amazingly beautiful sunsets!

My real name is France If you love to camp near the water, you have to see this place. The service and the staff are polite and eager to help. We had a few mecanical and battery problem, and they understood and helped us instead of taking advantage of us. As they told me, they are campers too, they understand. Mario and me have a big special thank you to John, would went to great length to help us. Thank you so much John for taking the time to help us with all of your knowledge. Experience is great thing is in it ?

We loved this campground. View spectacular! Sites a little close together but with the view of the ocean in front of you, why look at the neighbors! Had freshly cooked, cracked lobster brought right to our trailer! Can’t beat that for service! We will be back!
