Campbellton is a small but interesting little city. Located in New Brunswick, Canada, Campbellton is said to be the home of the world’s largest Atlantic salmon. Campbellton’s Restigouche River is known all over the globe for its salmon fishing each summer. Sports anglers come to this area from miles around to catch these and other fish, such as the fiddlehead fish in the spring of each year. During the winter, Sugarloaf Provincial Park draws ski fans to its facilities for both alpine and Nordic skiing. Budget hotels in Campbellton are well appointed, with amenities that will make guests smile with pleasure.
Campbellton has several festivals each summer. The Salmon Festival, which started in 1967, lasts a full week. Activities during the festival include salmon suppers with fresh-caught fish, an invitational golf tournament, a community picnic, a circus, fireworks, canoe and car rallies. There are also activities just for children, all week long. This summer festival also features a beauty pageant. Often, cheap hotels in New Brunswick can be found that are just a stone’s throw away from the river and all the festivities as well.
