Camping in Newfoundland and Labrador

Newfoundland and Labrador's camping season is short and intense, running roughly mid-June to mid-September. The campground inventory clusters around five regions: the Avalon Peninsula and St. John's, the Bonavista Peninsula and Twillingate (iceberg-viewing country), Gros Morne National Park on the west coast, the Codroy Valley, and central Newfoundland along the Trans-Canada Highway.

Iceberg viewing peaks in May through early July along the east coast. Whale-watching runs through July and August. Gros Morne is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the more-requested federal parks in Canada. Marine Atlantic operates the ferry connection from North Sydney, Nova Scotia to Port aux Basques and Argentia — reservations on both ends of the trip are essential during peak season. A full island loop typically takes at least two weeks.
