New River Beach
Overview
New River Beach Provincial Park offers a quintessential maritime experience on the shores of the Bay of Fundy. Known as the Sandsculpture Capital of Atlantic Canada, this park provides RVers with a front-row seat to the world's highest tides. Visitors can spend their days exploring the vast expanse of sand that appears as the tide recedes, making it a premier destination for coastal relaxation and nature photography in New Brunswick.
Location & Surroundings
Located conveniently between Saint John and St. George, the park is nestled along the rugged Bay of Fundy coastline. The environment transitions from dense spruce forests to jagged rocky outcroppings and soft, golden sand. Its proximity to the Lepreau area makes it an accessible coastal retreat while maintaining a feeling of secluded wilderness, where the rhythmic sound of the Atlantic waves provides a constant backdrop to your stay.

- A convenient sanitarium station for waste disposal.
- Fresh water filling stations for your RV tanks.

Absolutely fabulous beach. Soft sand but some small rocks when you start walking into the ocean. The park and beach are very clean, very well maintained. The entrance of the park had large free parking lots. Hotel and restaurant just a walk away. Beautiful grass surrounded by picnic tables to be able to eat and watch the waves from afar. There are even little water spouts around to wash off your feet or to get water for your dog, etc. Bathrooms were very well maintained. They even had small exterior showers and changing rooms. I hope to be able to go back to visit soon!

Great hike along the coastline. Easy to moderate. Dog friendly on the hike but no dogs allowed on the beach. Lots of parking but it cost $15 for the day.

Great place for families! My Team Somerville at Royal LePage sponsors the sand sculpture event every year with over 20,000 people and it is definitely an event to see! It usually runs late July early august and is one of my favourite days in the summer.

This is a well- maintained rather small than big camping. You feel just cozy there. This place combines a seashore and a forest. It has a large lawn and a lot of space to play, walk or just sit and enjoy the being. I will definitely return here again.

Beautiful large beach, great for swimming. Spent 3 days in the rustic cabins at the campground. The rustic cabins have electricity (no water), a picnic table and 2 sets of bunk beds. The bottom bunk is a double and the top a single. The rustic cabins were great especially when it rained:)
