🌈 Happy Pride Month from all of us at Sunset View Campground! 🌈

At Sunset View Campground, we believe camping is about creating memories, building friendships, sharing laughter around the campfire, and feeling like you belong.

This month, we proudly celebrate the LGBTQ+ members of our campground family, our friends, our guests, and our community. We are grateful for the diversity of people who make Sunset View Campground such a special place to call home throughout the camping season.

Pride is also a reminder that representation matters. We celebrate Pride because everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and accepted for who they are. By recognizing and embracing our differences, we help create a community where people know they are safe, welcome, and supported. Our goal is for every guest to feel comfortable being themselves and to know that what makes each of us unique is something to be celebrated.

Whether you’re spending your days on the water, relaxing by the pool, enjoying a campfire with friends, or making new connections around the campground, we hope everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued here.

Because at Sunset View Campground, there’s always room around the campfire for everyone. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Happy Pride Month!

🌅 DID YOU KNOW? 🌊

The peaceful stretch of water beside Sunset View Campground holds a fascinating piece of New Brunswick history beneath its surface.

Before the Mactaquac Dam was built in the late 1960s, the Saint John River looked completely different. Instead of the wide, lake-like headpond we know today, this was a narrower, fast-moving river valley with strong currents, islands, fertile farmland, small communities, and rocky shoreline rapids.

One of the most famous natural features in the area was Pokiok Falls - once considered one of the largest waterfalls on the Saint John River system. The falls disappeared beneath the rising water after the dam was completed in 1968.

When the dam gates closed, the river rose dramatically, flooding approximately 96 kilometres (60 miles) upstream. Roads were rerouted, homes and farms were relocated, railway lines vanished, and entire sections of the Saint John River Valley were permanently transformed.

Today, the river is much wider and dramatically deeper, with some areas estimated to be more than 130 feet deep. Beneath the calm surface are remnants of the former valley - old foundations, riverbanks, wooded areas, and traces of the original landscape that existed before the flooding.

What was once known for rapids and swift current became ideal for boating, fishing, paddling, and waterfront recreation - creating the scenic shoreline views and incredible sunsets that make this area so special today.

Every time you look out across the headpond from Sunset View Campground, you’re looking at a place where history, nature, and engineering reshaped the Saint John River Valley forever.
