Campgrounds and RV parks near Cape St. George, NL

Cape St. George sits at the southwestern tip of the Port au Port Peninsula on Newfoundland's west coast, where the headland marks the northwestern limit of St. George's Bay. The community is reached by Route 460 and lies within the province's only designated bilingual area, a French and Acadian shore stretching along the peninsula's coast. RV travellers use Cape St. George as an anchor for exploring the Port au Port loop, a coastal drive of about 160 km with cliff viewpoints, bird colonies, and small fishing harbours. There are no full-service campgrounds in the cape community itself, so most travellers base out of private parks in the wider region or provincial parks a short drive away. Closest options include Pirates Haven RV Park and Chalets, Zenzville RV Campground, and Grand Codroy RV Tent Camping Park to the south, along with two provincial parks: J.T. Cheeseman near the Port aux Basques ferry and Barachois Pond off the Trans-Canada Highway between Stephenville and Corner Brook.

Provincial park sites at J.T. Cheeseman and Barachois Pond are reserved through the ParksNL Campsite Reservation Service. Serviced sites with 15 to 50 amp electrical, access to water taps, dumping stations, and comfort stations with showers fill quickly, so booking well in advance is recommended for peak summer weeks. A seasonal vehicle pass covers day-use entry across all provincial parks. Private parks including Pirates Haven RV Park and Chalets, Zenzville RV Campground, and Grand Codroy RV Tent Camping Park are booked directly with each operator by phone or their own websites. Cabins and chalets are limited and tend to go first. Ferry travellers should coordinate Marine Atlantic sailings from North Sydney with a booking at J.T. Cheeseman, which sits about 10 km from the Port aux Basques terminal.
