Saint John, N.B., Canada - Rockwood Park Campground

August 2007
*This was truly a 'stop-drop-n-roll' visit - so the review will be brief. Our destination was Moncton. When we rolled into St. John at dusk, the fog was so thick we weren't even sure there was a city out there at all.
While waiting to check in, there was a 60+ year old man puffing on a pipe, rolling back and forth in his bright purple and yellow LSU crocs. Had to ask if he was indeed from Baton Rouge - he was from Prairieville, Louisiana. When I got to the front desk, the lady behind the counter said that the man claimed to be from New Orleans. Funny how when we are a million miles from home, a fellow camper from a suburb of Baton Rouge is *POOF* from New Orleans.
Brochures tell us there's actually lots to do in St. John. We moved on.
Wireless internet access was available close to the bath house, though we were not. Our site was on a gravel lot which lacked landscaping. DirectTV is prohibited in Canada. Argh.
