The best camping near Signal Hill National Historic Site guide

Overview

About

As St. John’s most popular landmark, Signal Hill recalls the town’s historic past and communications triumph, as well as offering coastal hikes and colourful performances against sweeping views overlooking the Atlantic. Signal Hill was the site of St. John’s harbour defences from the 17th century to the Second World War and where Guglielmo Marconi received the world’s first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901.

When to go

The best time to visit Signal Hill National Historic Site is from June 1 to October 6, when the visitor centre and its full suite of programs are operational. The grounds, however, welcome visitors year-round, offering different seasonal perspectives of St. John's most famous landmark.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit, as conditions can change rapidly atop Signal Hill.
  • Wear sturdy footwear for the trails, which can be rugged and steep in places.
  • Signal Hill is a day-use area, so plan your visit between sunrise and sunset.
  • Accessibility varies across the site; contact the visitor centre for specific needs.
  • Remember to carry water and snacks, as there are limited refreshment facilities on site.
