NB Route 11 is your main artery through this area, connecting you to the Trans-Canada Highway system and providing straightforward access to Campbellton's amenities.

Overnight parking options are limited given the compact nature of the community. Your best bet is the provincial park itself if you need to stay the night. Some travelers report success at the Walmart in Campbellton proper, but always check current policies before settling in. The fishing lodges along the Restigouche sometimes accommodate RVers, especially if you're booking guided trips.
