Site of the highest recorded tides in the world. Large parking lot, attractive location to visit, many hours to experience the incredible difference of tidal height in the zone around Flowerpot Island, sunset etc. Other visitors mainly in regular cars, so reasonably quiet later.

The park closes at dusk and no overnight camping/parking is allowed. Was asked by park staff to leave. There were two small signs posted, one on the park sign at the top of the street and one on a small sign located near the bathrooms. I didn't initially see them until they were pointed out by park staff. Ended up parking near a local fire hall nearby which had a large parking lot with a view of the water.

we're the second vehicle ( our RV and pop-up on the roof) here just after dawn at 20:30.
Nobody kicked us away, yet.

Took a chance that the no camping sign near the toilets was for tent or walk in campers in the grassy forested area & stayed in our class B for one night at the far side of the large parking lot. The lot was busy when we arrived at 4:30pm & cleared out by 6pm.

Another motor home was already set up for the night with their levelers down. Some people came at dusk to fish & they were here well after we went to sleep. It was a dark, quiet & mostly mozzie-free night.

Getting here at around low tide is the best to see & walk on the ocean floor.

Recycle, organics & garbage cans throughout the park & non potable water to wash feet & shoes.

Edit: I just finished the hike during low tide and it was absolutely incredible! I definitely recommend coming here for at least that. I won’t be staying overnight because it’s so dang hot here and the parking lot is pretty busy. I still think staying overnight in the parking lot would be fine but I won’t be able to confirm unfortunately.

I’m pretty sure the No Camping sign is only for tents in the actual park. There’s no sign anywhere in the parking lot. I’m going to stay the night and I’ll update this if I get kicked out, but I highly doubt it! Seems like a really cool place to spend the day at too.

Large parking lot and a really nice park with picnic tables/ great views and a place to watch the tides! There are washrooms open from 9-5 and recycling, garbage, and compost bins. We were 8 campers but plenty of room for everyone. Quiet night.

Très beau stationnement pour plusieurs grand VR. Tranquille en soirée. Accès à la rive pour admirer les marées les plus hautes au monde. Il y a une petite île juste en face qui fait un 'pot de fleur'. Je recommande a 100%.

Beautifully kept little park. Clean bathrooms are open 8-5. Park in the gravel parking lot and walk down to the Fundy Shore, the largest tide swell in the world. Good place to stop for the night.

Place was still closed for the season. We managed to stay for the whole day to see the whole tide. Then we stayed the night, saw a few dears. Very quiet.

This is a great place to stay. Right now the park is closed for the season but you can still walk down and see the ocean floor when the tide is out. It looks a spectacular. Locals appear to come and go for walks in the morning. Bring your boots to explore! Very quiet and big gravel parking lot. No garbages this time of the year. Take out what you bring in - a beautiful spot to stay!

The sign for no camping is within the Park (refers to tents on nice gras where visitors walk towards the tidal zone. We stayed overnight in the large parking lot with our 18ft trailer. The washrooms are open from 10 am 8 pm. We had no problem. There are some nearby commercial cottages at approx. 200 m.
