Sasha's Sanctuary
1 site · RV, Tent15 acres · Mates Corner, NB
Hi! My name is Sasha! I'm a 10-year-old Black Lab! I know what you’re thinking, an old dog can't learn new tricks but here I am! Hip Camp Hooray! My unique, 15-acre home is a sanctuary away from all the hustle and bustle of dog-eat-dog life! It truly is my little piece of paradise, and I can’t help but want to share it with you! My favorite part is the 3-acre natural swimming quarry!! I love to cool off on those stifling hot summer days, nothing better! Your site is cozied right up to the edge of my beautiful pond with a freshly sodded soft spot for your tent and nestled behind a large hill (with your own driveway entrance) to make sure your stay is as secluded and serene as possible! My Mom and Dad, Pamela & Christoph, have built you a fancy new outhouse only steps away so no need to relieve yourself in some old bucket, forest hole (unless it’s a squirrel hole!🙁) or tall grass! They also have a sitting area set up! Feel free to walk my 20 minute loop around the pond, past peaceful fields and through sheltered paths that lead you right back to your site! All that walking keeps me 10 years young! Afterwards you can snuggle in beside the firepit I dug and I’ll even fetch you some sticks for your cozy bon fire! Nights are super relaxing with mirror still waters and dark night star gazing!
I'm super pumped to share it with you! (Your little friends are welcome too, as naturally we are furry friendly.)
Oh yeah, my Parents said don’t forget to tell you two things;
We are in Straight Shores, Rural Southeast NB, 1km off Highway 15. We are centrally located within 20 minutes or less of NS, PEI, Sackville and Shediac, 35 minutes from big Ol Moncton and within 5-10 minutes of the villages of Port Elgin and Cap Pele! (Blah, Blah, Blah....Not that you’ll want to go anywhere after setting up in heaven! 😉 )
A canoe and/or fishing rods are available upon request for an additional fee of $5/canoe, $5/rods! Super deal for real! (My brother said star gazing at night in the canoe is incredible with the stars reflecting in the water! And the pond is stocked full of small mouth bass! I’ve tried to catch those little basses myself but just can’t swim quick enough! You’ll have much better luck with my Dad’s rods!)
Don’t forget this old dog is full of new tricks so I welcome your feedback and suggestions on how to make my little piece of paradise even more perfect!
Off to collect those bon fire sticks for ya! All YOU have to do now is click ‘Reserve’ and get your tails here to relax and chill!
See you soon!
Cheers,
Sasha

Dog-friendly getaways
Camping near Moncton guide
Overview
With a population of just under 160,000, Moncton is New Brunswick’s biggest city. Visitors flock to Magnetic Hill in northern Moncton to experience its famous optical illusion where your car seems to move by magic, but also because the area has a waterpark, winery, and plenty of outdoor access. In the historic downtown, you'll find a historic theatre, a farmers market, a mural-filled art walk, and a French cultural centre. Meanwhile, camping near Moncton puts you close to long beaches, provincial parks, other-worldly geographical features, and even the World's Biggest Lobster.
Where to go
Shediac
The self-proclaimed lobster capital of the world, Shediac is a fun little town that’s close to the white sands of Parlee Beach Provincial Park and famous for its 90-ton lobster sculpture. Parlee Beach attracts a younger crowd and often has a party vibe as a place where you can chow down on great seafood, swim in some of the warmest ocean water in Canada, or take a tour on a lobster boat. A number of camping sites sit in and around Shediac, including within Parlee Beach Provincial Park.
Fundy Shore
Bestowed with the world’s highest tides, the entire Fundy Shore is an adventurer’s dream. At Hopewell Rocks, you can walk the ocean floor among towering red flowerpot rocks, or kayak around them at high tide. Hike the rugged coastlines that rise into the highlands at Fundy National Park, then set up camp at one of many private campgrounds in the area, or at one of the park's tent sites, RV spaces, yurts, or oTENTiks.
Miramichi
Fly-fishing mecca Miramichi is a quaint town offering a range of Acadian and Indigenous cultural experiences, tubing on the Miramichi River, learn-to-fish programs for adults and kids in nearby Doaktown, and some neat camping opportunities that include treehouse camping.
When to go
New Brunswick is best visited in summer and fall, as the weather can be unpredictable outside of those times and you’ll find it difficult to find operational camping spots. Even still, Moncton is a fully functional city year-round, and visitors can experience much of what it has to offer even in the dead of winter should you want to check it out in the cold and snow.
Know before you go
- Moncton and the surrounding area host many fun festivals, including Shediac's lobster fest in July and Moncton's arts week and live dance music festival in July. Check dates in advance of your trip planning to either check out the events or avoid the crowds they bring.
- Once you get outside the city, cell service can be patchy. Get a good sense of where you are going before setting out.
- French is commonly spoken in and around Moncton, and as New Brunswick is a bilingual province, you’ll see signage in both English and French.
