"The Rez" is my favourite place to enjoy the day with my family…read more Offers a supervised freshwater beach, a playground, picnic tables and hiking trails. There is so much to do! There is a wide, gravel trail (wheelchair accessible just make sure someone able to push through- took grandma & loved it) going around the entire rez (3.4KM) but off this main gravel trail is 2 dozen trails (no official map, just have to look for the openings!) My favourite trail we call "beaver trail" - named because you pass a beaver dam! (have never seen a beaver but always have my camera ready...) To get to the beaver trail: Go clockwise. The opening is 3 minutes after you start on the gravel trail - its wide enough for 1 person so bring your carrier. Also, I've been temped to let my dogs off leash in these trails but one day I came across 2 poripines (they left us alone and we left them alone, no harm) but from then on will not let me doggies off leash (as the sign states lol) There are lots of beaches as well! To get to the best private beach people bring their poochies to: Go clockwise around trail. When you come to bridge take the trail to the right (along the water) There will be other small trails leading off but keep going straight and you come to a beautiful beach. Get out, enjoy and make your own family map of the trails you discover

I visited in Jan 2026 and no one but myself was there. Solitude, quiet, and beauty. Ahhhh. Some say the water crashing against the rocks sounds like singing. It is a very soothing and welcoming sound which I do not think I would ever tire of. It was difficult in some spots to walk as the rocks can be a foot or more deep, but with my snow boots on it was manageable. I am not sure how it would be barefoot or with sandals, but I would certainly give it a go. No restrooms or other amenities. A wonderful Maine spot with amazing scenery and beauty.

If you're looking for a secluded, expansive rocky beach off the beaten path, Jasper Beach is your…read morenew best friend! You can expect two tiers of smooth, beach rock adorned with seaweed/kelp. Outside of the traditional basalt, granite, etc. that New England beaches tend to provide, Jasper also offers sea snail and crab shells, drift wood, and the occasional beach glass/pottery. After the overcrowded Sandy Beach (south of Bar Harbor in Acadia N.P.), Jasper was a welcome calm and solitude. I would have stayed for more than two hours, however, the only drawback--for anyone, frankly--is the lack of facilities. No fresh water or bathroom within :15 to :20. If you or your family can handle that, Jasper Beach is definitely worth a visit!

Showers were great and had great water pressure. Clean washrooms and nice campsites. There are 3 sections of the campground but section one is closed at the moment.

Just steps from the beach for swimming or for my husband to launch his kayak. Great trails for hiking, including up and around the golf course. Because of our location we had water and electric.

A lovely little lake off a side road with a small Sandy beachfront…read more There are two changing cabanas off the parking lot. It's also got a walking path for Dogs and Friends. Lots of trees for shade. It can be a little noisy with happy toddlers splashing around in the morning. But that's not enough reason to come on out and enjoy a dip in the warm lake off the shore. Highly Recommend

Located right along the Ocean in picturesque St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Kiwanis Oceanfront…read moreCampground is a popular camping compound for locals and travelers alike. They offer services to tenters up to Class A motorcoaches. Many sites have great waterviews and a whole line of sites are listed as waterfront, just the street seperates your unit from the beach. Roadways in the campground are paved, but sites are grass. Fullhook ups are available (w/s/e). Sites are small in width - you can get your unit with slides out and vehicle right next to it before you're in the next camp site. If you want more "real estate" to park your vehicle and set up a grill and picnic table and maybe another chair or two, good luck - best bet, park the vehicle in the overflow area. A good portion of the campground is given over to seasonal campers and they've decorated their lots in a whole mishmash of styles - seems like almost anything goes. Campground can get rather hectic and loud on weekends and holiday periods. They'll even park overflow campers on the grass sections when they run out of hookups. They were renovating a portion of the campground when we were there - no rv's on the sites and piles of rock/gravel. Don't know what they plan to do. Laundry is in one building, showers and bathrooms are another - you could tell bath house was recently renovated.

This was a really hard review for me to write. The camp ground it self is really lovely; beautiful…read morewashrooms, great kitchen, friendly people and great views. What makes me rate this campground so low is that the tenting area is infested with fire ants. Waking up to being bitten by ants is not a pleasant morning and cooking breakfast was nothing short of a dance to keep them off my feet. The part that really bothers me is that when I spoke with the staff to inform them of the infestation they knew about the problem. They gave us our money back right away but the fact that they have no plans on dealing with the ant issue is quite concerning. I would not recommend tenting to anyone, especially with children or pets. I will say it would be a nice spot if you have a trailer or something to keep you off the ground.

The berry salad was just the right size, and the dill sauce that came with a Panini: Also WOW! Maybe we were in a tremendously good mood because the sun was shining and the people who gave the tours were very knowledgeable about the Roosevelt family and the story of Canada and the United States, but it really was a memorable location. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Students of International Relations may be familiar with a phenomenon called "Soft Power…read moreDiplomacy". Often this takes the form of international media programming and information distribution that may be criticized (rightly or wrongly) as propaganda, often because of its asymmetrical nature (to its intellectual critics, as a means of broadcasting the narratives of "Empire" at the exclusion of individual experiences). We might take such examples as the U.S. Agency for Global Media and its oversight of Voice of America. However, such Soft Power Diplomacy can also take more bilateral forms, in which two sovereign states emphasize their mutual contributions over the years, with the motivating principle being that a history of good relations makes for a future of good relations. Funded by the governments of the two participating countries, Campobello Island's Roosevelt Campobello International Park (located in New Brunswick, Canada) provides a fruitful and demonstrative example of positive bilateral relations that are maintained through Soft Power Diplomacy of this type. Occasionally, as with many historical museums in its genre, the more problematic aspects of history are swept under the rug (such as FDR's emergence as a rising star in the Democratic Party at a time when it was known largely as a party of southern segregationists such as Woodrow Wilson and Josephus Daniels, or - also a thorny issue - FDR's wartime persecution of Japanese-Americans). To address these matters, however, is not the point of this museum. Rather, it is to build on FDR's reputation as a wartime president who overcame great odds (both personal and political) and in so doing to emphasize goodwill between Canada and the United States. In this, the Roosevelt Campobello National Park is successful. Guided tours are provided of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's summer home, and there is a Living History presentation available by an actor portraying First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, herself elevated to legendary status as one of the most powerful and influential First Ladies of the United States in history. Both of these features are conveniently close to the park-and-museum's in-house restaurant and cafe, on the lower floor of a lovely little cottage overlooking the water. In the main lobby and gift shop are placards that discuss Canada's aid to stranded American travelers during 9/11 as well as both wartime military cooperation and peacetime agreements between Canada and the United States (such as USMCA, the renegotiated version of NAFTA developed and ratified under the prior US presidential administration). This park and museum are worth attending, though with the same critical thought that ought to be applied in any Public History setting. In this case, Public History serves as an item in both countries' diplomatic toolkit. To this purpose, the museum and park certainly achieve their intent.
