A few notes on the trip to Canada:
This is a good time to travel to this area. Around July 1 school ends in these areas. In NB it was the week before July 1. In PEI it was July 1. There are bugs as you would expect but during the day it was fine for the most part. In the woods, for example mountain biking at Kouchibuoguac, there were some mosquitos but you could stay ahead of them on the bikes for the most part. Temperatures were mostly high of 60 and low of 50 but we had 3 warm days where it went up to 80 with lows of 65. Similar weather to VT this time of year and long days with sunset at 9:00 or after.
PEI has a lot of bike paths. The 270KM Confederation trail with many bike trails going off this main route. Kouchibuoguac was very good also but much smaller so one day of riding there. Lots of hiking trail options in NB. PEI has the three sections of National Park but beyond that hiking is more limited. You can walk on the bike trails but not as interesting as NB ocean trails.
All places we stayed were very good except Parc Daigle Park:
Sunset Point RV, Lubec ME. Nice place on the ocean. Great location to access the town and the trails in the area.
Kouchibouguac. Don't go back to Parc Daigle Park. Buggy and too big and not well kept up. If we return to this area stay at the campground in the provincial park itself.
Shining Waters Cottages, central PEI. Nice clean small cottage. Kitchen with everything you need to cook. Very close to PEI National Park.
All Points East Campground, eastern PEI. Nice campground on water. Clean. Sites are RV sites so not as nice as typical tent sites but OK. May be busy later in the season?
Kiwanis Oceanfront camping, St Andrews NB. This is a good one. Tent sites are nice and great location.
