Do Campgrounds Have Showers and Washrooms? What to Expect When Camping in NB
One of the most common questions new campers ask is surprisingly simple:
Do campgrounds have showers and washrooms?
If you’re used to hotels or cottages, the idea of camping without access to a bathroom can feel a little intimidating.
The good news is that most modern campgrounds do provide washroom facilities, and many also offer showers.
At Sunbury Oromocto Park & Campground, we have a centrally located washroom building available for campers throughout their stay.
If you’re planning your first camping trip, here’s what you can expect.
Do Campgrounds Usually Have Bathrooms?
Most established campgrounds include some type of washroom facility.
These typically include:
-
Bathroom stalls
-
Sinks with running water
-
Showers
-
Mirrors and basic lighting
Some campgrounds offer very simple facilities, while others provide more upgraded washroom buildings.
The goal is to give campers a comfortable place to shower and use the bathroom without needing to rely entirely on trailer facilities.
Our Washroom Facilities at Sunbury Oromocto Park
At Sunbury Oromocto Park & Campground, our washroom building is located in the centre of the campground for easy access.
The building includes:
-
Separate men’s and women’s washrooms
-
Multiple bathroom stalls
-
Two showers in each washroom (Ps. our showers are FREE! No coins needed here!)
Campers can use these facilities throughout their stay.
This setup is especially helpful for:
-
Tent campers
-
Smaller trailers without full bathrooms
-
Families with children
Having a nearby washroom building makes camping more convenient and comfortable.
Tip #1: Bring Your Own Shower Supplies
Even though campgrounds provide the showers, campers should bring their own personal supplies.
Helpful items include:
-
Towels
-
Shampoo and soap
-
Flip-flops or shower sandals
-
A small toiletry bag
These simple items make using campground showers much easier.
Tip #2: Choose a Campsite Near Facilities (If That Matters to You)
Some campers prefer being close to washrooms, especially if they’re tent camping or traveling with kids.
When submitting a reservation request, you can always mention if being close to the washroom building is important to you.
We do our best to accommodate requests whenever possible.

Tip #3: Visit the Washroom Building During Quieter Times
Like any shared facility, washrooms can get busier during peak times.
Common busy times include:
-
Early mornings
-
Right before bedtime
-
After beach hours
If you prefer a quieter experience, try visiting during mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
Tip #4: Remember That Camping Is Still the Outdoors
Even though campground washrooms are convenient, it’s helpful to remember that camping is still an outdoor experience.
Facilities may not feel exactly like a hotel bathroom — but they provide everything you need to stay clean and comfortable during your trip.
According to Parks Canada, shared washroom facilities are a standard feature in many campgrounds and help make camping accessible for beginners.
