Beautiful Campobello Island N.B., Canada

Earlier I did a video tour of Campobello but it was in winter and I have finally got around to doing a summer version. It was a windy day and that always raises havoc with my little camcorder so I will apologize right off the bat for the poor sound track. I did do voice overs for the worst of it but there is still some wind noise. This was recorded on a beautiful hot August day but the fog was on it's way in so it was a race to get out ahead of the fog.

about 4 years ago I visited Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Bay of Fundy and many more beautiful areas. Very green, beautiful weather (my visit was in June), friendly locals and tasty food. Thank you for showing your wonderful area, I wish to visit again soon,

[@leotabaca5476]

I just found you about two weeks ago. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing all of your life with and love your cabin and garden.Also enjoy all your birds and bird feeders.You do a good job with building all the houses for your roasters and hens.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you very much I'm glad you are enjoying the videos.

[@sharonharris8152]

Lovely video ! Thank you so much for showing it ! I've always wanted to visit Campobello Island and the Roosevelt Cottage - made it as far as Lubec, Maine but didn't have a passport . Planning on getting that this year but in the meantime this was a very lovely tour and video ! Thanks, again !

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Sharon yes the passport foolishness has caused a lot of people problems.

[@jjdogfather5604]

I loved this tour. As a man with a boat I especially enjoyed the harbor tours. Thank you for sharing.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. I've lived on an island all my life and never owned a boat.

[@baconsoda]

Thank you for that wonderful tour. I love Canada and have been to the West, Rockies and Vancouver Island many times. Canada has a unique landscape and there's a wonderful sense of relaxation about it in the sense that Canadians know they don't need to do anything other than just let you see where they live and they let the images speak for themselves. I am really glad I can't sleep tonight because I got to see this.

[@willothewispl]

Very, very pretty. It always amazes me how the fog just slowly rolls in.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@McDowallManor]

What a gorgeous place, Dale. I loved seeing your Island. I was particularly fond of the houses/cottages. I wish I had a cottage like that!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

McDowall Manor Thank you glad you enjoyed it .

[@jasonhowell8599]

Thankyou for the tour. it is a lovely place.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you it's home to me so sometimes I forget about the beauty.

[@am2008ber]

I'm a new subscriber and I've enjoyed watching many of your videos this evening. You live in a beautiful place. I grew up in White Rock, BC on the Pacific Ocean so appreciate your beautiful Island.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

am2008ber Thank you very much and welcome to the channel.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you glad you enjoyed the tour. Always nice to hear what other people think of our little island.

[@mtngal326]

Thanks so much for this and several other video's I've enjoyed. My husband and I are coming to Campobello next week to look and see if we will be a good fit for the island. It will be a dream come true for us, if all falls into place. We were there in 09' but we have seen more on your video's than we did when we were there! So, thanks again.

[@janicemalott4962]

Oh how beautiful this area is and the light house is beautiful ...You are one great tour guide ,I would bet the best on the island since you grew up there . It is morning here now and I should get off here and get around ..hope I can sit outside today if it warms up ..Thank you for the beautiful video ...loved it ....Janice

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Janice.

[@movedon12]

A very picturesque and interesting place, when you were showing the lighthouse the first time, my thoughts were "great picture to paint " that is one beautiful lighthouse. I will put that on my list to paint thank you Dale love your videos.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

It is a very popular lighthouse and I often see artists set-up there painting it.

[@RVFreeDa]

I just zoomed in on the map and took another tour via map! What an awesome and beautiful place you live. Too bad that beach water is so cold because it looks like a great place to swim! I sooo enjoyed your tour! Thank you very much!

[@GideonGardens]

Beautiful area Dale. Thanks for taking the time to share:)......Ann

Gideon Gardens Thanks Ann glad you enjoyed it .

[@sharonharris8152]

Thank you for replying, Dale ! Yes, hopefully I can get a passport this year but in the meantime I just discovered your videos and have been enjoying them immensely on this cold and snowy day in Pennsylvania ! I subscribed to your channel because you and your videos are very interesting and informative ! Thanks again !

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Sharon.

[@NostalgicChannel]

Beautiful place to live. Thank you for share!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Marisa Hutchison Thank you glad you enjoyed it.

[@leahgriffith1817]

thanks! I enjoyed the tour of your island. I just discovered your channel a few days ago and it's​ very interesting​.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Leah.

[@jasonhowell8599]

Beautiful island. your very lucky. take care.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Jason.

[@EmilyBoltz]

It is so beautiful- must be so fantastic to live where you grew up❤️

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Emily.

[@taephy6742]

Thank you....I wouldn't know the existence of such a beautiful place if not for your video. So different from where I come from (equator! hot!).

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Tae.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you glad you find the videos helpful. Have a good visit.

[@fatpius]

Wow, Dale, that is a beaUtiful area. Made me very homesick for my coastal home!!! However, when you said the winters get down to minus 20 degrees, it lost some of it's appeal;-)) I'd surely like to be a summer visitor. I can see why you are in love with your neck of the woods!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you always nice to hear someone else say so.

[@4esanbabe]

so beautiful,wish I were there!

[@REB65]

Beautiful Dale, thanks for the tour 👍 And btw you don’t look like you’ve aged a bit 👍. Take care and God bless ✌️

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@kmwrites7456]

wonderful tour. Wish I could visit.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you.

[@leotabaca5476]

You have such a beautiful island.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you glad you enjoyed the tour. Most if not all of the salmon farms here are now owned by one large company and they don't even employ very many people from this area they harvest the salmon and take away by boat to be processed elsewhere. Just a few people have jobs feeding and maintenance.

[@leotabaca5476]

Beautiful

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@shelton126]

My sister and brother-in-law have a place in Welshpool on Campobello. My brother-in-law was born and raised there. You may know the family, the Newman's. His mother and brothers still live on the island. I love Campobello, just wish I had more opportunity to visit.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Sounds like you had a great trip June can be a beautiful month and it is before the busy tourist season get underway.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. Fog again this morning, it's been a hot dry summer what we really need is rain.

[@freakygeaktwo]

amazing sights thanks for the tour, if there was no sound I might have thought of a few places in Newfoundland with all them nice trees about :)

[@jodysappington7008]

very nice....enjoyed

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. Accessibility could be a problem. Government buildings like postoffice, tourist information centre, customs building are all accessible and the main attraction the Roosevelt International Park is mostly accessible the reception centre with exhibits, movie theatre and washrooms are all accessible. You can access the ground floor of the Cottage but there isn't an elevator to the second floor. Motels,restaurants could be a problem too they are all single story but not really accessible.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you lots of trees everywhere in Atlantic Canada.

[@MobyDave1583]

When I lived in Nova Scotia I used to go clam digging a lot. And I was told that you could dig clams any month that doesn't have an "R" in the name. Which made sence to me anyways because the mont's with "R"s in them are a little to cold .

[@TheSonoman1976]

"Your island" is beautiful sir.

[@WhidbeyIsguy]

Awesome video. I bet it is a pretty laid back Island. Seeing as there is a fairly large seafood industry on the island, just wondering of you jave and clam or mussel recipes that you cook.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Lyle Z Thank yo I do a few things with clams like clam pie and chowder and I have cooked mussels a few times but they aren't grown here and the wild ones in this area are usually not safe to eat.

[@teddelguercio2173]

One of my favorite places in the world :)

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Ted Del Guercio Thank you. We are being lulled into think that it might be an early Spring. No snow left here and very mild for this time of year.

[@teddelguercio2173]

+Dale Calder All of us here in the east - I am in NJ - have been lulled. i don't count winter over until it's over :)

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thanks Freida glad you enjoyed it. The only good part about the cold water is you can take long walks on the beach, if the water was warm the beach would be covered with those tourist things LOL.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

I don't recall a George Tinker but so many people here are known by nicknames so I might have known him but didn't know his name was George.

[@violetjohnson1012]

That was really interesting

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Violet.

[@michelleackerson4524]

I see this is a very old video, have you done an updated version? A beautiful island and I really loved the visit...you are a very good tour guide :-)

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

thank you I've done two this one and another that was done in winter.

[@Hudson-1947]

Good video. Thanks. :)

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@Janeg21]

Hi Dale, What a lovely video of your Island it's beautiful, I was interested to hear you mention Welshpool could you tell me how it got it's name, I live in Wales in the UK and we have a welshpool here so I was curious how your welshpool came about. Love watching your video's they are so interesting and just love all the cookin, I am so glad you enjoyed the Bara Brith. Keep up the good work. Diolch yn fawr iawn. (thank you very much in welsh).

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Jane. I visited your Welshpool many years ago 1976. Our village is named after you town. This Island was originally granted to Admiral William Owen for services to the crown, he was from Welshpool.

[@dianes9112]

Thank you for this video. We are planning our first trip to the Island and this was a great way to see some places before we get there. Any must see places that are off the regular tourist areas?? Again...thank you so much for your time and effort in these videos

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. If you are going to be here fro a day or two there are lots of wonderful hiking trails in the two parks, I'm just back from a 3 hour hike with my new dog.

[@valerieparker8304]

I just happened across this while cruising YT. A hidden treasure :) I would like to share it on some of my "away" friends if that's ok.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

No problem share away Val.

[@Pavlovafowl]

So pretty! Loved the tour, Dale, what a great idea. Shame about the salmon farms! They are an ecological nightmare as well as a culinary horror story and like Scotland and Ireland you have such beautiful crystal-clear waters and a wild salmon population at risk. Thanks for posting this, really enjoyed the visit.

[@cathyandersen7190]

Dale.......I thoroughly enjoyed you video around Campobello and am looking forward to visiting next summer. Could you tell me how accessible the island is as I am in a wheelchair. Thank you and can't wait to visit....Cathy

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Wish I could have included the big boats but they are all over on the Nova Scotia shore this time of year.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thanks Brendan so are you saying that I'm a cure for insomnia LOL. I love the west too but it's been a few years since I've been out there.

[@bikesaver47]

Pretty sure I spotted my Uncle Calvin's dragger in the breakwater at North Road. I too have some great memories from that cove, and those same homes. I proposed to my beautiful Canadian bride in the fog at Head Harbor (East Quoddy) Light, and my brother proposed to his bride at Liberty Point. Thanks for the video, and say Hi to my Mom for me. She's on the Island all the time these days, and I don't blame her a bit!!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

bikesaver47 So is Betty Ann your mother.....

[@bikesaver47]

***** Yeah, and she's Downeast w/ Mildred about every week. Wish I were there. The next time my grandparents home is on the market I will have some decisions to make for sure.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

bikesaver47 I see her most Sundays in Church.

[@clydenechinetti2296]

GREAT! I love fog.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@andrewbolingbroke4952]

Hi dale you have a very beautiful island & I think the flag on the yacht is the Mexican flag

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Andrew.

[@MobyDave1583]

MmMmMmMmMm Let's go clam digging!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

It's the other way around it is usually safe to dig clams in any month that has an R because those are the colder months. The warm weather causes Red Tide to bloom which is a paralytic shellfish toxin this is a naturally occurring toxin not something caused by pollution etc. The flats are either closed or open in a more scientific way now, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans do regular tests of the clams and say when it is safe to dig.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Yes I know them Newman is one of the very numerous Island names.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

LOL not this time of year the clam flats are closed until fall.

[@phillipsmom6252]

So the island is Canada, what lake or waterway is that between the island and the United States? ( Maine) Can you get into another part of Canada from the island or can you just get into Maine from the island? Sorry, this is very interesting to me I’m in Michigan by the ambassador bridge ( my whole life) and I never saw this part of Canada ( the island) and Maine. Thanks.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

The island is surrounded by the Bay of Fundy and we have an international bridge to Lubec Maine.

[@phillipsmom6252]

Dale Calder ..... very interesting thank you

[@shelton126]

Welchpool sorry. FYI, my brother-in-law is Wil Newman.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you that is -20 C which is around 0 F. but I don't like that either.

[@baconsoda]

LOL, certainly not, because I went from this video to viewing Rocky Mountain and BC videos and reliving places I had camped and visited so I didn't see bed until about 6am.

[@jasonhowell8599]

l bet Angel, was missing you.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Jason I guess this video was made before I had Angel.

[@aibee5794]

Some day, when the bank balance is tanked up, we will surely come to visit your little island of sea, sun, sleet and snow!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Aibee LOL The sleet and snow aren't as much fun as the sea and sun.

[@aibee5794]

+Dale Calder Here in my land, the sun and sea are in plenty, it's the sleet and snow that's rare....; hence this fascination for your little log hut covered in snow and your diary of cosy evenings spent in it as snowstorms play outside....Do keep posting about the snow as it enthrals us no end. TC and God bless.
