The best campervan sites in Newfoundland and Labrador

Name: Newfoundland and Labrador
Address: Newfoundland and Labrador
Rating: 2.5

With the capital city of Saint John’s and the two most popular national parks in the province, the island of Newfoundland is the province’s primary hub, while the larger, mainland Labrador shares a border with Quebec and offers more remote experiences. Main draws for outdoor adventurers include the fjords prime for kayaking and fishing village exploration; Gros Morne National Park’s mountainous landscape; and the some 10,000 whales that hang out among the icebergs on the east coast of Newfoundland in summer. The Newfoundland norm is camping in dense forests inhabited by moose and bears.

The most populated part of the province, this is where you’ll find the waterfront city of Saint John’s in addition to scenic seaside villages like Holyrood, Cupids, and Heart’s Desire—all ideal for road tripping among the craggy landscapes. You’ll find plenty of beachfront campgrounds, cabins, and RV camping with hookups along the peninsula, plus some interior sites near the protected Avalon Wilderness Reserve.

Following the island’s 300-kilometre East Coast Trail leads travelers along a portion of the waterway known as Iceberg Alley, named for the massive icebergs that make their way along the coast in early summer. Pitch a tent in Terra Nova National Park or at the dog-friendly campgrounds in Lockston Path Provincial Park, or head to the villages of Bonavista and Twillingate for whale-watching and puffin-viewing excursions along the way.

The town of Grand Falls-Windsor acts as a gateway to river rafting and fishing experiences in northern Newfoundland, where there are plenty of options for campers in its wilderness areas. Campsites with the most amenities can be found around Grand Falls-Windsor, but it’s also possible to venture out to Fogo and the Change Islands by ferry for artsy stays and an RV park.

This area is defined by Gros Morne National Park, which pairs fjords with mountains and extends into Newfoundland’s northern peninsula. The park offers nearly 250 campgrounds with varying amenities and accessibility options, while coastal gateway towns with outdoor stay options include Norris Point, Rocky Harbour, Trout River, and Cow Head.

Although sparsely populated, this remote part of the province offers scenic driving that takes you to gorgeous spots—try southern Pinware River Provincial Park for tent camping or the waterfront Saint Lewis and Battle Harbour for Iceberg Alley views. The northerly Torngat Mountains National Park is worth the journey there for its glacier-carved mountains, backcountry camping, and Inuit cultural experiences, while Akami-Uapishkᵁ-KakKasuak-Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve is pristine wilderness with no road access.

1. Relais de Quadrillion — Three-Michelin-Key View · Aurora | 1 of 2 in Canada

Joe Batt’s Arm, NL · 1 site · Tent, RV

"This door shall not open save by a miracle. You shall not be blessed save by a miracle." Some places exist at a probability of one in a quadrillion — and this is one of them. A harbor that surfaces, against all odds, at the literal edge of the world: the wind-scoured coast of Fogo Island, Newfoundland, where the North Atlantic meets a sky on fire with northern lights. Quadrillion sits just 500 meters — a two-block walk — from the iconic Fogo Island Inn: a member of Relais & Châteaux and one of only a handful of hotels in all of Canada to hold the prestigious Three Michelin Keys. From this site you wake to the exact same view Inn guests pay thousands a night for — the wild Atlantic below, the slow green fire of the Aurora Borealis above. Same horizon. Same celestial theater. None of the hotel wall. You're booking this land directly from Fogo Island locals — families who have fished these waters for generations, rooted in the centuries-old outport tradition that built this coast. It's a depth of connection no hotel can manufacture and no concierge can sell. This is Joe Batt's Arm in its purest form: moonlight on black water, the Aurora swirling over ancient rock and saltbox houses, some of the darkest skies you'll ever stand under. By day — whale watching, iceberg tours (10,000-year-old ice drifting past in spring), trout fishing, sea kayaking, berry foraging, and the Back Western Shore Trail. Cross the road to the museum and stand inside this island's deep seafaring story. As night falls — a fire under the stars, the cold Atlantic plunge for the bold, and stargazing with nothing between you and the sky. You stand at the edge of the map, closer to the Eastern Seaboard than it feels, yet a million miles from everything — the same billion-dollar horizon, the same wild locavore spirit that made the Inn world-renowned, lived the honest way: under open sky, where sea and stars meet. The door to the Golden Land stands open. Whether you come as a traveler, a dreamer, or a witch resting between fragments of the endless sea — Quadrillion is waiting. The camping location is circled in red in the photos.

5-Minute Walk To The Ocean

3. 5-Minute Walk To The Ocean

Trepassey, NL · 1 site

We're a family of three residing in St. John's Newfoundland. I am a coastal researcher and hiking guide. This is a little bit of property we purchased a few years ago that we intend to be building on this coming year. On maps it is 18 Molly's Lane on Google Maps but you will need the pictures below to find it's actual location. The lane is actually Butlers Lane, but also Tobin's in some map apps. It is the last road turning left heading towards the ocean, so not hard to miss. There is an old road onto the property that guests can park their vans/rv/vehicles. Five minute walk from the water in one direction and town maintained trail into the barrens in another direction. Folks are friendly and of Irish decent. We ask that you not walk around the property as their is come cow parsnip, from July to August. However, the parking area will be kept clear. No fires and no waste to be left on the property. Dogs on leash permitted, but again beware of the cow parsnip.
