Rockwood Park is a huge city park on the west side of Saint John. The campground contains a large, ugly gravel area with full hookups where most RV’er stay, many of whom are local workers. There is a wifi tower on the laundry/washroom facility, but it did not work when we were there, so we sought a more scenic site, and found a section on the edge of a cliff overlooking Saint John that had only three precious 30-amp sites (the rest were 15 amp). We had a great panorama of all of Saint John and out to the ocean beyond. We enjoyed this site a lot. Had we been stuck in the large gravel lot area it would not have been very pleasant, wifi or no. At the time it was filled with workers doing business in town. The hookup worked fine and our Dish Satellite came in where we were. There was some city noise and train noise, but that was part of the excitement. Rockwood Park has miles of trails, a golf course, zoo, information centre, etc. It’s only a 5-minute drive to Uptown Saint John (which confusingly is the downtown), one of the only nice areas in this heavily industrialized city. Take the historic walking tours, visit the market and the museums. The famous reversing falls takes place in another section of town, along the Saint John River, about 10 minutes drive from the park. Because of the Bay of Fundy’s extreme tides, rapids are created in the Saint John River to compensate for the water level change, and the direction of the rapids is determined by whether the tide is going in or out. It is a gradual change, with slack water in between the changes. A visitor’s center and observation deck next to the free bridge (not the Hwy 1 toll bridge) has a movie, restaurants overlooking the river, and helpful documents. It is good to watch from this side, since there is a large ugly factory along the river that you see if you look from the other side. Another park across the river gets you down close to the rapids, and daredevils can take jet boats from there that go directly into the raging rapids and around whirlpools. Expect to get jolted around intensely and very wet! There are also tamer tours. We also enjoyed walking around Irving Park along the Bay in the south end of town. We would stay here again because of the location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed 3 days in our 5th wheel. This has the potential for being a great camp ground as it is centrally located and easy access off the freeway. Problems: You can not make reservations and all the sewer sites are filled with permanent trades people. This leaves power/water and a pump out service that charges $15/ pump out!!! If you have a smaller rig and don't care about sewer there are a few sites on the hill overlooking St.John and harbor Spectacular View!!! Voiced my concerns to the campground manager and even sent a E-mail to the mayor ( No Answer). They should have 10 sites with sewer for transient- tourists. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very convenient park for exploring Saint John, plus a sightseeing bus stops in the park. The overnighter area is basically a big flat gravelled area but we were able to get WIFI from our site. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is basically a flat parking area heavily covered with crushed stone and with "sites" marked out by spray painted lines. It's a stopping point on the way to other places. The park itself may have other features to recommend it, but the campground is not one that I would use for a long stay. OK for overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A clean, tidy acceptable RV Park. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The location of this park is suitable for anyone wishing to spend a few days in the area to see the sights. But be prepared for some challenges. Whoever designed this park didn't have a clue. The sites are jammed together, most of which are not close to being level. The hook-ups, water, power and sewer connections are placed such that those for 4 sites are grouped together. Extensions for power cord, and or water hose and or sewer hose will be required in order to complete all connections. Campers are allowed to select their own sites, thankfully. Staff somewhat indifferent. The young lady at check in stated "Drive in and look around and if you don't like it, leave and go somewhere else." Not recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were not overly excited about this place other than it was close to the area attractions. RV area is nothing but a gravel parking lot for the most part. WIFI was available from RV if parked close to the laundry area. The majority of sites are electricity and water only. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is run by the local agriculture district. Generally clean and cared for. Has a wide variety of sites. Pull throughs were on gravel with very little grass, some side by side. Back-ins were nicer with some grass. Close to City area, and easy to find with Map Quest. Nothing fancy but clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
