If you seek adventure, then RV parks in Newfoundland are the place for you. The best way to see the coast is from the bow of a ship. Travel Iceberg Alley and tour beside huge icebergs. This is also your opportunity to catch a glimpse of giant whales as they breach. From the deck of your boat, you’ll see majestic fiords, scenic waterfalls, and traditional fishing villages. Camping in Newfoundland gets you close to the coastline where you can see curious humpback, minke, fin, and sperm whales search for food. Puffins, eagles, and osprey call the many cliffs, crags, and inlets home.
Campgrounds in Newfoundland are located near at least one of the estimated 8,000 shipwrecks on the seafloor around Newfoundland. Snorkel or dive in these waters and you’ll not only see shipwrecks, but also swim alongside both northern and southern sea species. It’s the perfect place to hone your underwater photography skills.
While camping in Newfoundland, visit one of the province’s 10 National Historical Sites and 9 Provincial Historical Sites to learn more about the region’s history. If you love lighthouses, these are going to be located in the wildest and most magnificent lookouts on the province. Visit Cape Race, Fort Amherst, and Cape Spear, all built in the early 19th century and still in operation today.

Maybe you prefer your exercise holding a fishing pole while visiting campgrounds in Newfoundland. If that’s the case, you can cast your line in the hundreds of rivers and lakes. Maybe you’ll catch salmon, brook, and lake trout, Arctic char, northern pike, and whitefish. The province is home to more than 60% of Atlantic salmon rivers in North America.

Plan to visit Newfoundland’s capital, St. John, the oldest city in North America. It’s closer to Greenland than to New York, and closer to Ireland than to Chicago and so you’ll know the ambiance is exotic.
