WHO
WHAT
Because these were all road trips in our van, and we were staying in a house with extended family, we didn’t pack as light as we would if we were flying. However, the areas we visited in New Brunswick are fairly remote, so flying would not be a practical option. Generally, we took enough clothes for 7 days of cool weather (highs around 65-70F) and snacks/entertainment for the 24-hour drive.
WHEN
Each time we have visited New Brunswick, it has been in late July or early August, to take advantage of longer, warmer days. We first visited in July 2009, then July 2010, and most recently August 2017.
WHERE
WHY
We enjoy visiting this area of New Brunswick because it is quiet, remote, and everything moves at a slower pace. There is very limited internet/cell service - which means you’ll be free to spend your days reading a book, walking the waterfront, and enjoying time with your family. Our favorite places to explore are listed below.
HOW
Final Tips
Cell service is basically nonexistent here, so be ready to truly be off the grid this week.
Summertime temperatures are mild. Each time we’ve visited there have been some rainy days, so pack cool-weather clothes and a rain jacket.
