Moncton, N. B., Canada - Camper's City

Last weekend in August 2007
As the closest full service campground to the Magnetic Hill concert site, it was a fine choice. Seemed to be a launching point for families heading to Parlee Beach in Shediac. The two campgrounds we saw in Shediac were packed and had very narrow sites.
Camper's City has ample, level field sites with full hookups. DVDs (mostly G & PG) and fire rings were available for rent. Firewood was expensive at $6.50 per bundle. Very convenient to grocery shopping, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, etc. Laundry room was nice and clean with a sofa. Though we didn't try them, there was a pool on site as well as entertainment in the evening in the common hall. Friendly staff.
Drawbacks: Wireless internet service was spotty - but campers who need brief access can bring their laptop to the main office to hookup via ethernet cable. Trail was overgrown with tall weeds and hanging branches.
