Why go
Forests, waterfalls and extreme tides make the Fundy Coast a mandatory destination in the province.
The stop is intended as a quiet stage. The Fifth Wheel remains on a suitable basis if possible, while narrow local, coastal and park roads are only explored with the pickup truck.

Practical tips
Read tidal table and consciously plan both water levels.
Check with long team access and pitch length before booking.
Check the season, weather and current closures just before the stage.
Save offline maps. In rural regions, national parks and in the north, mobile communications can be missing over long distances.
Never take water untested from lakes or rivers into the fresh water tank. Replenish drinking water only at released sources or prepare it professionally.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Plan enough time for Hopewell Rocks and use Moncton or Sussex as a quiet base. So the stop remains relaxed and fits in with the Rolling Dreams travel style.
