About
Camp your way to a beach vacation at this idyllic campground in the north of Gros Morne. Shallow Bay offers a fun camping experience for the whole family. Surrounded by evergreen forest opening up to white sandy beach on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, making it ideal for spending the day on the water kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding or exploring the coast. The Old Mail Road leaves right from the campground, a great place for kids to ride their bikes, or to take a walk to the beach. Finish your day with stories and s’mores around the campfire.
