Mactaquac Provincial Park Campground

A large campground with clean bathrooms and showers. On the shore of the lake but a very wooded site. The campsites were not all level and the access roads were not perfect, but not really an issue.

Stayed only one night and it rained, so only had a limited amount on exploration of the entire park. That said, the site was quiet, private and easy to access. The three juvenile bald eagles in the nest above us made a racket but then, that’s what kids do, even eagles.

Totally a keeper campground, highly recommended. The only downside of the Provincial/National Parks is no WiFi…if watching YouTube is what you do when camping.

We thought we were getting an electric site with water but no. There were water stations spread throughout the camp. However, they weren't available to the traveler because the seasonal people had hooked up their hoses to all of the spigots, sometimes crossing the road with their hoses. The only water was at the entrance next to the dump station. Bathrooms were not very clean. Very surprising that a provincial park was in such bad shape.

The park is huge, and the focus is on recreational activities - swimming, boating, golf and the like. There are plenty of sites for all sizes of RVs and tents, as well as cabins and a lodge. We stayed in a travel trailer, and this was a stop over site to replenish supplies (in nearby Fredericton) and do laundry.
Sites are clean, reasonably level, and many have electric hookups. Ours had a view of the water, making for a pleasant evening. The campground is very quiet, especially considering the number and size of sites.
The comfort station with showers (free) and flush toilets were clean and well maintained. While there are many seasonal sites throughout the campground, all people were friendly. The camp store is small but carries essentials, and provides limited foods (ice cream, hamburgers, and the like. There is also a restaurant at the lodge. We didn’t try either, so I can’t comment on price or quality.
