If you decide you want a roof over your head during your wandering, and pass through New Brunswick on your way as opposed to ferrying straight over from ME, you may want to check out the above place (seeing as you are camping, I am betting you have a sense of adventure!)...I myself have not gone there yet, but I intend to--it sounds quirky and fun, AND they take pets, too. I like the way they describe it...

Excerpt: SALTY TOWERS is a unique and somewhat eclectic accommodation facility. Architecturally it is a building within a building within a building. The original structure was constructed circa 1840, renovated in the early 1900's and added to in the 1940's. In addition, attached to the main building is a "Penny School" dating from 1825. The Inn was first established as the Seaside Inn in 1921 and was operated continuously by Marjorie Richardson (nee Clarke) until 1986. In 1994 Jamie Steel purchased the property with the aim of creating something a little different, a "Chateau Alternatato".

SALTY TOWERS offers a variety of accommodation at reasonable rates in an exceptionally interesting setting. It has been highlighted in the New York Times and described by Frommers Travel Guide as a cross between a Victorian home, a 1950's seaside resort and a 1960's commune!! The Lonely Planet Guide boasts there is no other place like it in St. Andrews and perhaps Canada!!

Lodgings vary from single cottage style rooms to large formal Victorian suites, to small apartment efficiencies. Guests are encouraged to use the house and its large formal living room, the wonderful morning room, roam the gallery or gardens and spend time on "the best veranda in town" while enjoying a glass of wine or quaffing a pint or two!
