Maintenance & Restoration

The 2015 Annual Maritime Vintage/Fiberglass Camper Meet will be held at the Parlee Beach Provincial Park campground Friday, July 17th to Sunday, July 19th. When you go to the site you will see round green dots for available camp sites. We booked ours (site 29 in camp ground A) for 6 days and it turned red. What follows is directions to get to the site www.parcsnbparks.ca then choose "Browse Maps" a map of New Brunswick will come up and you look for "Parlee Beach" and click to green dot. A picture of the camp ground will come up. Click camp ground "A". A picture of the camp ground will come up triangles (Unserviced) and circles (Serviced) choose whichever you want. Note that red are booked, orange/yellow can't be reserved until that day and green are available. On the left hand side it has boxes to fill in like month (JULY) then put in dates, 17th, then how many days and then the map refreshes itself to show you what sites are available. Choose one and become a red dot or a red triangle. After that you go through the system and pay with your credit card. If that is too much call the [IMG]resource://skype_ff_extension-at-jetpack/skype_ff_extension/data/call_skype_logo.png[/IMG]1-800-561-0123 FREE Mon. to Fri, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm and they will do it for you. Here is a quote from the Bible, Jesus to Judas at the last supper. "Whatsoever you do, do quickly." If you do, all the red dots will be Bolers and Trilliams and the like. If you are slow and all the dots are red but you want a serviced site go to campground B and choose one of them. You will only be 100' to 150' away from the others. The Boler meet is Friday 17th, Sat. 18th and Sunday morning the 19th. If you are like some who come a few days early, book accordingly. The beach is a 3-4 minute walk and it is free to walk on but you only pay if you need to park a vehicle at the beach. Again follow the advice above and "WHATSOEVER YOU DO, DO QUICKLY." My understanding is that it is a popular weekend so lets fill it before others with those funny steel trailers and motor homes start booking our spots.

Thanks for the post and instructions! We booked for July 17-19 through the parcsnbparks site and I note that the campsites are filling up - should be a great gathering!!

Do I have the right place? It has the worst reviews I've ever seen for a campground.

I was in the process of registering for a non-serviced site in campground B. Then I saw the rate. $100/night for a campsite with no hookups? I don't think so. Have a good rally.

Walt,
I just double-checked the parcsnbparks site and the rate I got was $28 for one night or $56 for two nights - the campsite I checked the rate on was site 61 (just as an example).

Thanks. I don't understand, but I'll re-check. I must have misinterpreted something.

WaltP · 05-07-2015, 03:35 PM

Sorry, you are right. My apologies to all and I look forward to the rally.
Looks like it'll be a good one.
I've registered from Wednesday till Sunday.

Thanks Danny.

I will be at a Scout Jamboree near HFX until the 18th. [sans Trillium] and if time allows I may double back and drop in for a coffee before heading for the ferry at 2345. It will depend on when I can get away from the jamboree site. Good luck with the event. SD

I plan on heading up several days early and would appreciate recommendations on where to spend a few days in NB before the rally.
I've seen parts of PEI and NS before, but not NB.

Thanks,

Walt

Walt,
If you like sea views, St. Andrews, St. Martens, Fundy Park, Grand Manan Island and Deer Island are great. The ferry to Deer Island is free - there is a small campground overlooking one of only a few giant whirlpools in the world, you might see whales, etc.
Also, I've heard great things about Kouchibouguac Provincial Park on the Eastern side of the province, camping and beaches.
Downtown Fredericton and Saint John have historic areas and great scenery.

Hi all. Wish we could attend. We just purchased our 1976 Boler this week and would have loved to make our first camp out at a function like this but we are not prepared. You never know, if we can get things together, we might show showing of our new to us Egg. Have fun and if all else fails, we will definitely be there next year.
