Detailed Reviews
Really loved our visit here. Site 44 had decent privacy and close proximity to the comfort station. We did pick up lots of the free firewood, although used it slowly as it was pretty wet, and the fire pits on site are unusually tiny. Washrooms were very clean - only comment is that the showers are in the same space as the toilet stalls, and with just a couple curtains - would appreciate a set up with more privacy for showering. Having trails coming right through the campground was great for dog walking. Drove down to the bay to watch the tides and enjoy many of the views. Was really pleased with the little camp store. Do recommend visiting Kelly's Bakery in Alma for the famous sticky buns (they absolutely live up to the hype!) and also taking the scenic drive past Alma to the Waterside Beach UNESCO Fundy Biosphere Reserve. It was an amazing and beautiful spot to walk out into the Bay at low tide. My only real complaint here is that I was surprised to learn we had to pay for "daily entry fees" when we got to the park - if these are required for each day of your stay, I don't understand why it's not just included with the other booking fees. In any case, would highly recommend this spot and hope I get to return some day!

We were in pull through site # 6, which was about 70' long and level side to side, but dropped gradually from rear to front. Services are well located and of good quality. They even have reasonable free Wi-Fi - a service Banff does not offer.
While well treed, we were still able to pick up the Shaw satellites. We are just over 60' total length and had no issues navigating around the campground or accessing the site.
They even have laundry facilities and a huge playground for kids.
If coming from Moncton with a big rig stay on Hwy 114, as the coastal trail isn't real friendly for 60+' rigs. Allow time for a slow drive from Moncton, as parts of Hwy 114 are in poor repair and it is slow going..
We would definitely return to Fundy.

Awesome campground. Private sites. Great playground for the kids and some decent hiking/biking paths. We liked the sites much better than point wolf and wished we had stayed here longer. Check out nearby Hopewell rocks if you can. Must see at low tide although not necessaryto see it at peak/trough of tides.

Private camp sites, we made sure we were relatively close to the bathrooms and the play ground. Our 2 year old really enjoyed the whole camping experience here. The bathrooms were very nice. We will be returning next year it was such a nice time. Only suggestion is for the front gate to sell laundry detergent.

Had a great time here. Had a very private lot - forget the number but was "good" privacy. Site had a fire pit and it was a short walk to the bathrooms. Pets were welcome which was great as well. We did hiking at the nearby trails and our dogs were welcome st all beaches :)

Absolutely beautiful and exceptionally friendly people who work here but it is 30 min from the highway...you'll think you're in the middle of nowhere. Terrible condition of the road leading to the park needing attention (roads are in good condition in the park). If you come when it is warm, be warned: you WILL be swarmed with biting black flies! They are absolutely miserable...in your hair, face, clothes etc! We also had to drive to the bathrooms to avoid them. Thank goodness we had a cold front come through and kept them at bay for one night and day. Alma is a very very small town with just a few places to eat and visit. Additionally, even though you pay to stay at the campground, you still have to pay $7.80 per person per day because you are in the park. We had to cut our trip short by one day, and they were gracious enough to refund us the camp fee as well as the park daily fee. I cannot emphasize enough how nice the people are who work here! Also, they have 3 dump stations which is always a plus! No waiting in line! We decided to see Hopewell Rocks when it was closed, as many other people did, and saved the $20 fee. We drove 2 hrs up to Nova Scotia which was a nice drive, and there are such gracious people there as well! Also, if you go to Prince Edward Island, it will cost you almost $40 to get back across the bridge so we avoided PEI. Overall, very nice campground. Probably won't return to the Atlantic provinces because although it is beautiful, it looks similar to Maine and much too far to drive.

Fundy is a beautiful area.it has very Nice hiking trails. The Washrooms were not as clean as I expected. There is a hornet problem, making it difficult to sit outside. There is a nice playground for the kids and a heated salt water pool(you have to drive to). Alma is nearby and has anything you may need - sticky buns at Kelly's bakery is a must have!

The campground is in a great location and in an attractive setting. The bathroom facilities are good and there are free showers. The playground looked very nice if you have kids. And the staff was very nice. It's also a VERY quiet campground. The only negative is that the sites are too close together, so you don't get much privacy. We drove through Point Wolfe Campground, and those sites are even worse, so Chignecto is a better choice. But we are used to camping in National Forest and State Park campgrounds in New Hampshire and Maine, and in general, those sites are MUCH more private. Still, we would go back to Chignecto if we find ourselves in the Fundy area again.

Powered lots with potable water. Well kept bathroom facilities. Very nice! Literally something for everyone, from the newly upgraded playgrounds for kids to wonderful restaurants in Alma for the whole family, you'll find something here! We stay at the campground at least once a month from May-October.

This review is for the Point Wolfe campground in Fundy National Park. It is a lengthy drive from park HQ, but pleasant enough, and leads to a cute red covered bridge and several trails, including an easy one to the shore, which was manageable for a family with young kids.
The campground website very conveniently provides photos of each actual campsite as well as information such as grass or gravel surface and distance from toilets and cooking shelters. As a first time visitor to the park and the campground, it seemed that this would be helpful. However, upon arrival, we could see that there is not really any private spots in the campground, and the ones in the woods which might seem more private than those out in the open are actually butted up against other sites anyway. So in hindsight, it would have been better to trade the supposed wooded privacy and gravel surface for a more comfy grassed surface out in the open.
The temperature became noticeably cooler as the fog rolled in, and became surprisingly chilly on an August evening, so it is important to bring lots of layers of clothing, but this also probably contributed to the complete absence of mosquitos and bugs even though the campground is surrounded by woods.
The campground is fine enough to stay at if you are exploring the trails of the national park for a few days, but it becomes rather expensive if you, like us, just dropped by for a one night camping experience on your way to Hopewell Rocks. While the national park has many trails that can be explored extensively, if you are looking to experience the Fundy shore, to my mind, the Bay of Fundy shore line is a mucky experience and is nothing compared to the wonderful beaches of PEI's national park. The Fundy tides themselves, though, are amazing to see, but you don't need to go to Fundy National Park to see them. Just go to Hopewell Rocks down the road. It also charges an admission fee but you don't need to see both and Hopewell Rocks is MUCH more spectacular.
Recommendation: if you want to explore the forested trails, it is worth going to Fundy National Park and staying at a grassy site in the campground, but otherwise, for fantastic beaches, go to PEI and to experience the amazing Fundy tides, choose Hopewell Rocks.
