Any suggestions as to where to camp so as to see the fundy tidal bore best? I've seen pics on you tube of Hopewell Rocks.

To camp.. Don't know.., unless your really lucky you may have to spend the better part of a full tidal cycle... We go right to the mouth of the river and sit in a parking lot next to a restaurant that is beside th big bridge off the highway... Iif I were to do it again I would try to be in land a mile...I'm on my way there now, my parents live near by...when I get there and assuming I have signal I'll ask the locals and post for you.

You are not far north! in fact, the entire state of North Dakota looks like it is farther north than the Bay of Fundy,
However if you look at this LINK to the University of Alaska, and click on the North American view if it doesn't already show it, you will see the approximate visibilities of displays of various intensities.
It looks as though a storm with a rating of a '4' will be visible on the horizon, along an arc from The Bay of Fundy, just north of Chicago and the Vancouver/Seattle area.
I don't believe in astrology. I am a Gemini and
we're very skeptical.

We stayed in the Fundy National Park campground and then went on to the Hopewell Rocks campground. We liked both of them for different reasons. Fundy was treed, had private sites and had great hiking trails. Hopewell was a family campground with a pool table the kids liked and coastal walks through wetland areas. Our site was right on the water I would stay in both again.

Last Summer we camped at the Digby CG when we got off the ferry. It was small but there was a nice path (old RR bed) that we used to walk into town. There were a few restaurants and the CG owners gave us good advice.
If you continue North East eventually you would be in Truro. There is a tidal bore that can be seen there. It is located just west of Rt. 102 off an old road that leads to a old motel and restaurant that are both closed. As a result, the parking lot is large enough for MHs . The view is very nice. I would get there early if I was driving a large RV. The times of the tidal bore can be found in the tourist info center in Truro. We stayed at the Scotia Pines CG just south of Truro prior to seeing the tidal bore. Truro has some shops and restaurants and is pleasant to walk around. Sundays in NS most stores are closed just like they were in the states 30 years ago. I'm not sure of the big box stores, though.
