Our Story

Tucked away at the meeting point of the Miramichi rivers, Enclosure Campground isn’t just a place to pitch your tent or park your trailer, it’s a place where stories live.

Over 2,000 Years Ago

Indigenous history

Long before campfires and cozy cabins, this land was home to Indigenous peoples who gathered here for over two millennia. Why? Because when two rivers meet, magic happens—fishing, trading, storytelling, and living in rhythm with the land.

1750s

The Acadian Chapter

Fast forward to the 1750s. Acadian families, fleeing British forces, found refuge here at Camp d’Espérance. Led by Charles de Boishébert, nearly 900 people settled along these shores. It wasn’t easy—many faced hunger and harsh winters—but their resilience is woven into this land’s roots.

Scottish Settlers & A New Beginning

By the late 1700s, Scottish settlers made their mark. Entrepreneurs William Davidson and John Cort turned this area into a booming hub of fishing, lumber, and shipbuilding. And in 1791, the first Protestant church in Miramichi—Saint James Presbyterian—rose up right here at Wilson’s Point. Today, its cemetery still tells the tales of Miramichi’s early days.

Nature Meets History

Walk the grounds and you’ll feel it—this place is alive with the past. Towering trees, quiet meadows, stone gates, and whispers of stories that never really left. It’s why Enclosure Park was named a Provincial Historic Site in 1990.

The Campground Today

In the early ‘90s, Florence and John McGraw brought new life to the property, opening up the campground as a family-run escape for those who love a little nature with their nostalgia. Whether you’re here for the river views, the private dining cabin, or just a crackling fire under the stars—you’re part of the story now, too.
