Can't help to much with New Brunswick, but lived for 11 years in Dennysville
ME, about a half hour south of Caoais, where I assume you'll cross back to
the US to get to Campobello.

Campobello is cool. See the Roosevelt "cottage" then go to Head Harbor.
Great views, but probably too early in the season for whales. Hit it at low
tide, the only time you can actually get to the lighthouse. On the LA (Lubec
America) side of the bridge, don't skip the oxymoronically named West Quoddy
Head, the easternmost point in the continental US. Prettiest lighthouse in
Maine (IMHO) and a good little hiking trail up along the cliffs. Cobscook
Bay state park in Edmunds ME is a decent camping area. Most of the
commercial camping areas in that vicinity are cleared grassland with RV
hookups. Take Rt 1 on your way down. Lots of nice little coastal towns all
the way down.

Have a great trip.

I'll be heading to Dennysville from Portland Friday 7/14. Wave, if you see
me.
