Campgrounds and RV parks near Division No. 8, NL

Division No. 8 is a census division on the north coast of the island of Newfoundland whose largest communities are the towns of Lewisporte, Springdale, and Twillingate. The region wraps around Notre Dame Bay and includes New World Island, Fogo Island, and the Kittiwake Coast, giving RV travellers a mix of provincial parks, private campgrounds, and coastal communities within easy driving distance of the Trans-Canada Highway. Campers using this area as a base typically split time between two anchor parks. Dildo Run Provincial Park features 55 campsites, with 21 offering water and 15, 30 or 50 amp electrical service, and it sits on Route 340 on the way to Twillingate. Notre Dame Provincial Park, at Notre Dame Junction on the Trans-Canada, offers 100 campsites in a forested area with picnic tables, fireplaces, and space for larger RVs. Private options fill the gaps: Peytons Woods RV Park and Campground near Summerford, Brimstone Head RV Park on Fogo Island, and Brookdale RV Park and Campground for travellers moving between central Newfoundland and the coast.

Provincial park sites are reserved through the ParksNL Campsite Reservation Service at nlcamping.ca or by phone. Serviced sites at Dildo Run and Notre Dame tend to reserve quickly, so book early once the season opens. Book the ferry to Fogo Island separately if planning to stay at Brimstone Head RV Park. Private parks such as Peytons Woods RV Park and Campground and Brookdale RV Park and Campground are booked directly with the operator by phone or website. All vehicles entering Newfoundland and Labrador provincial parks for overnight camping must pay for a nightly vehicle pass, which is separate from the overnight camping fee and from the day-use pass. Overnight guests should arrive before 10 p.m. and stop at the park checkpoint before heading to their site.
