East Coast Newfoundland Cottage & Cabins
1. East Coast Newfoundland Cottage & Cabins
2.3km from La Manche Provincial Park · 1 site
We sit on a rock, as does all of Newfoundland, overlooking a creek fed by Bauline Pond, which flows into the rocky beach next to our property. We are sheltered by a rocky hillside, under which we walk to the beach just 30 feet away.
We have views of Bauline Harbour, an active working harbour with two commercial fishing boats, one island/whale tour boat, and many local fishing boats when the fishery is open.
We are at the cultural center of Bauline, a hamlet of fifteen houses, a wharf, a pond, and access to the East Coast Trail. Just beyond Bauline Pond, there is an excellent restaurant, FORAGER, and a hotel, Cliff’s Edge Retreat.
We are at the heart of the Irish Loop, or the Southern Shore, and very conveniently located for travel:
North to St. John’s (50 minutes), south to Trepassey (1:15), west to Dildo (1:15), and east to Ireland (about 5 hours).

Food Culture Place Camper Campsite

7.5km from La Manche Provincial Park · 1 site
Welcome to our treasured little family camper.
Our “Chaga Cafe” was originally set up by the kids as a little lemonade stand to serve to hikers passing through. As time went on we heard over and over from hikers that there were a lot of needs, simple accommodations outside of spending a lot of money.
BRING ONLY A SLEEPING BAG
This has been set up to help serve a need, a clean place to tuck into for the night, with some necessities, not a luxury accommodation.
This camper is also a family place for us so please take care of it, while it’s simple, it means the world to us.
The camper has power, water for drinking and dish washing is all topped up before your stay. If more is required simply ask and more will be delivered. The propane and running water have been disconnected. A hot plate for cooking is provided and a small plug in heater is provided should you need it.
The accommodation sits within Food Culture Place property with The East Coast Trail quite literally at your doorstep—guests continue on to the next leg of the trail by walking past the accommodation, making this an ideal stop along the route.
This property at large is also my home, the rental is separate and you do not need to walk into the property as the rental is just off the side road.
We ask that you respect this property as a place of peace and quiet. While of course you can come and go at any hour we ask for quiet hours from 10pm- 6am. While you can not see any homes from the camper there are several elderly people in the neighbourhood.
We are located next to a corner store (5min walk for all essentials) and Fork restaurant, one of the best places to eat on the island!

5-Minute Walk To The Ocean
4. 5-Minute Walk To The Ocean
63km from La Manche Provincial Park · 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.

With kids
The site was small and quiet, the kids had a lot of fun running around. They enjoyed the oversized plastic dart board that was set up behind one of the RVs.
