About
The tip of the Great Northern Peninsula is as far north as you can go in Newfoundland without getting your feet wet! And here you'll find a beautiful provincial park located just 12 kilometres along Route 437. The park rests within the lowland regions of the Long Range Mountains and encompasses 897 hectares of delightfully varied vegetation. And you'll find yourself in a prime location to visit the attractions and sights in this gorgeous area. You'll find yourself just minutes from picturesque Saint Lunaire-Griquet, the L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, the Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve and the beautiful coast along the Straits of Belle; an area known for its great beauty and breathtaking views.
26 nightly campsites on the reservation service, plus 4 leased by the week or for the season. 20 overflow sites are issued at the park once the campground is full.
