Aunt Kate's Maple Camp - Pokeshaw, NB

At the heart of Aunt Kate’s Maple Camp is its working maple operation, where the annual spring sugaring season transforms the forest into a hub of activity. Visitors can experience firsthand how maple sap is collected and boiled using time-honoured methods, filling the air with the unmistakable aroma of sweet steam drifting through the sugar woods. The result is pure, high-quality maple syrup and maple products that reflect both the care taken in their production and the unique character of northern New Brunswick’s forests.

Beyond maple syrup, Aunt Kate’s Maple Camp is best known for its welcoming atmosphere and traditional meals that celebrate local flavours. During the sugaring season and special events, guests can enjoy hearty maple-inspired dishes that echo classic sugar camp gatherings—food meant to be shared, stories meant to be told, and memories meant to linger long after the last plate is cleared. Whether it’s families introducing children to maple season for the first time or visitors rediscovering cherished childhood traditions, the camp offers a genuine, unhurried sense of belonging.

The setting itself is an essential part of the experience. Surrounded by forest, open skies, and the quiet rhythms of rural life, Aunt Kate’s Maple Camp provides a refreshing escape from busy modern routines.
