Popular Post Sully Posted June 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2023 Our first 3 nights were at Grand Codroy campground, 30 minutes north of the Channel-Port aux Basques ferry terminal. The campground overlooks a large meandering river. We found it to be very peaceful and well maintained. A short drive from the campground is the most westerly point on the island. The next 3 nights we are at Sandbanks Provincial Park on the southern shore of Newfoundland. It’s a four hour drive from our previous campsite, where you perfect your pothole avoidance techniques. There are beautiful sandy beaches a fairly short walk from the campground. We are heading north from here, to Blow Me Down Provincial Park. 2 9 6 David & Kris, Audi Q7 - Elite II, Hull # 1391 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators bugeyedriver Posted June 14, 2023 Moderators Share Posted June 14, 2023 Sully, Have a wonderful time in Newfoundland! I went several years ago and it was a month of exploration I'll never forget. Don't miss the UNESCO Viking settlement, L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site on the northwest tip (looks like you're heading that way). At Twillingate, you can catch a boat tour amongst the icebergs and if you take a ferry on the north shore, to Fogo Island, you may even have an iceberg run aground right behind your campsite! As a group of people, I found those in Newfoundland to be some of the most friendly I've ever met. How long do you plan on remaining on the Rock? 4 Pete & "Bosker".

Do the campgrounds have electricty and/or water at each camp site? Thanks and have a wonderful time. I made reservations for each stay, but so far the campgrounds have been maybe 10 to 30 percent full. It’s early in the season here, I suspect they will be a lot fuller in July. Most of the Provincial Parks have no water/electricity at each site but have water and dump sites in the park. A few have electricity at the camp sites. All have been really nice and beautiful camping sites. The private and National Parks have more facilities at each campground site. Our current camp site at Gros Morne National Park, has water and electricity. 7 David & Kris, Audi Q7 - Elite II, Hull # 1391 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From living on sand bar (Florida) it might not seem too bad, but it also depends on the bugs.

Sully Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 We have been getting smoke from the mainland fires the last couple of days, so it’s limiting the photo opportunities. 3 David & Kris, Audi Q7 - Elite II, Hull # 1391 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators topgun2 Posted June 26, 2023 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2023 That looks like a swimming area - just how cool/cold is that water? Also - just above the water it looks like really good bear habitat. I don't see any bear tracks by the shore though. Hope that the bugs are not too bad for you!
