Discover the Serenity of Campobello Island

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, the most common route to Campobello Island is via Route 1 and Route 774. Start from a major city like Saint John, New Brunswick. From Saint John, take Route 1 East towards Moncton. After approximately 40 minutes, take Exit 130 for Route 3 towards St. Stephen. Continue on Route 3 for about 30 minutes until you reach St. Stephen. Once in St. Stephen, follow Route 1 to the border crossing at the international bridge leading to Calais, Maine. After crossing into the U.S., take Route 1A and then Route 9 to get to the nearby ferry terminal. You will need to take the ferry from Lubec, Maine, to Campobello Island. The ferry operates seasonally, generally from late spring to early fall, and costs approximately $15 per vehicle, so be sure to check the schedule ahead of time.

• Public Transportation

  For those relying on public transportation, the journey is a bit more complex. Begin by taking a bus from major cities like Fredericton or Moncton to Saint John. Maritime Bus operates services connecting various locations in Atlantic Canada. Once in Saint John, you will need to transfer to a bus heading to St. Stephen. Upon reaching St. Stephen, you will need to take a taxi to the ferry terminal in Lubec, Maine, as public transport options do not directly link to the ferry. The taxi ride is about 15-20 minutes. Remember that the ferry operates seasonally, and you should check the current schedule and fare, which is around $15 for a round trip.

• Ferry

  The final leg of your journey involves the ferry from Lubec, Maine to Campobello Island. Make sure to arrive at the ferry terminal with enough time prior to departure as cars and foot passengers may be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. The ferry ride takes approximately 30 minutes and offers scenic views of the surrounding waters. It is advisable to confirm the ferry schedule, as times may vary depending on the season.
