Important Things to Keep in Mind When Camping at Acadian Outdoors

Camping in New Brunswick’s wilderness offers incredible beauty and freedom, but respecting the rules helps protect the environment and keeps everyone safe. Here are the essential things to keep in mind:

  • Drive Safely: Follow posted speed limits, 80 km/h on primary roads, 60 km/h on secondary roads, and 30 km/h on operating roads. Always wear seat belts, keep headlights on, and yield to all forestry equipment, and commercial vehicles.
  • Be Cautious Around Equipment: Acadian’s timberlands are a working forest, meaning there may be active logging operations. Keep at least 30 meters behind logging trucks or forestry machines, and only pass when it’s safe and signaled by the operator.
  • Don’t Block Roads: Avoid stopping on primary roads or bridges to keep traffic flowing and emergency access clear.
  • Leave No Trace: Pack out all garbage; never dump waste, including trailer sewer, on the land.
  • Campfire Safety: Use only designated steel fire rings during open burn periods. Burn only wood or paper, no plastics or trash. Follow current Provincial Fire Burn notices, fire bans, and dispose of cigarettes responsibly.
  • Camp Only in Designated Sites: Camping is allowed at 15 marked sites equipped with tables, fire rings, and outdoor toilets in the Tobique and Green River areas.
  • Purchase the Required Camping Pass: All campers must get a camping reservation, campsite reservations are valid until 11:00 AM on the last day of your stay to comply with regulations and ensure safety.
