Campgrounds near Deer Lake
Deer Lake sits at the junction of the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1) and the Viking Trail (Route 430), making it the practical launching point for RV trips into western Newfoundland and up the Great Northern Peninsula. The town has a regional airport, full-service fuel and grocery, and a cluster of campgrounds within a short drive that suit rigs of most sizes.
Options close to town include Gateway To The North RV Park and Funland Resort, both convenient for travellers rolling in off the highway. Grand Lake Tourist Park offers a lakeside base south of town, while Sir Richard Squires Memorial Provincial Park sits 36 kilometres northeast of Deer Lake along Route 422 on the Humber River. Lomond River Lodge Campground provides a stopping point on the way toward Gros Morne National Park.
Deer Lake also functions as a staging point for Gros Morne, a UNESCO-listed national park about 45 minutes west by road, where Parks Canada operates five front-country campgrounds suitable for tents, trailers and RVs, including Lomond and Trout River which are unserviced.
Things to do around Deer Lake
The Humber River system dominates local recreation. Sir Richard Squires Memorial Provincial Park is built around Big Falls, where Atlantic salmon can be seen leaping the falls between May and August on their upstream migration to spawn. The park has three camping loops and gravel park roads suitable for cycling, hiking, and boat rentals for licensed anglers.
Within an easy drive, Gros Morne National Park delivers fjord boat tours on Western Brook Pond, the Tablelands geology walk, and long-distance hikes. Closer to town, Grand Lake offers paddling and swimming, and the Newfoundland Insectarium and Deer Lake Beach are family-friendly stops on a rest day. Wildlife spotting for moose, snowshoe hare, beavers, and red squirrels is common along quieter roads at dawn and dusk.

The practical camping season in the Deer Lake area runs from the May long weekend through the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend in October. Sir Richard Squires and other provincial parks open under the ParksNL system in late spring, and Gros Morne's front-country campgrounds follow a similar pattern, with most services concentrated between late May and early September.
July and August are peak. Days are warm, salmon are running, and Gros Morne trails and boat tours are fully operational. Reservations at popular sites can be tight, especially on weekends and around long weekends. June is quieter but buggier, with black flies and mosquitoes at their worst in the boreal forest. September brings cooler nights, fall colour along the Humber, and thinner crowds.
Outside these months, expect limited services, closed water systems, and cold, wet conditions. Winter camping is not the norm; most private parks and all ParksNL sites shut down, and Green Point in Gros Morne stays open by self-registration with the water shut off, a pit toilet available, and a reduced fee.
Top Hosts near Deer Lake, NL
I spent 10 days travelling around the island in “The Noplanvan” and it was incredible! Easy to drive and park. It’s compact and basic but has a very comfortable bed and the cooler worked great for my needs. Temperatures ranged from 4-22 degrees during the nights of my stay. I had plenty of blankets to stay warm and the fan worked great for the warmer nights. All your basic camping essentials were in the van or Thule. Kyle was very accommodating, responsive and gave some great recommendations! I would definitely book again.

We rented Kyle’s van for an 8 day road trip around Newfoundland. We couldn’t be happier with the van and had an amazing experience with Kyle - he is responsive, personable, and very helpful. The van itself was exactly as advertised and the bed was very comfortable. Everything worked great. Couldn’t recommend this more!!
Rachel B. - Sep 2025
I rented Joshua's vehicle for two weeks. I am an experienced RV camper. It served my purposes as a single user very well as I covered much of Newfoundland and into Labrador. I found him a pleasure to deal with and someone who was most helpful. Rob Garrard. Victoria, BC.
Rob G. - Aug 2026
Excellent set up, used the mosquito net one night and it worked well. Everything needed was provided. Joshua was great. Thanks nice holiday, recommended.

How to book campgrounds near Deer Lake
Provincial park sites, including Sir Richard Squires Memorial Provincial Park, are reserved through the ParksNL system at nlcamping.ca or by calling 1-877-214-CAMP. Reservations for the season open in April, and popular riverside loops fill quickly once the launch date passes. Sites are primitive with no hookups but include a picnic table and fire pit, with a comfort station featuring flush toilets, showers, and laundry, plus a dump station on site.
Gros Morne National Park campgrounds are booked through the Parks Canada Reservation Service. A national park entry pass is required in addition to camping fees. All front-country reservations made through the Parks Canada Reservation Service are site-specific, and setting up an account before the opening date is strongly recommended.
Private parks near Deer Lake, such as Gateway To The North RV Park, Funland Resort, and Grand Lake Tourist Park, book directly through the operator.
What to expect on the ground
Provincial park sites in this area are unserviced. Expect a gravel pad, picnic table, fire ring, and shared water taps, with a central comfort station for flush toilets, showers, and laundry. A dump station is available at Sir Richard Squires. Water taps carry precautionary boil-order signage, which is standard for provincial parks without chlorination systems.
Cell coverage is patchy once off the Trans-Canada Highway. Sir Richard Squires provides a Wi-Fi hotspot at the comfort station, and some Gros Morne campgrounds have limited Wi-Fi, but travellers should not count on reliable data at the campsite. Pets are welcome on leash at both provincial and national park campgrounds.
RV length matters: Berry Hill, Trout River, and Shallow Bay cap RVs at about 11 metres (35 feet), while Green Point is limited to about 8 metres (27 feet). Generator use is limited to mealtimes (8 to 10 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 to 7 p.m.). Bring bug spray, layers, and rain gear.
