Best campgrounds near St. Anthony, NL
Campgrounds near St. Anthony
St. Anthony sits at the tip of Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula, at the end of Route 430 (the Viking Trail). It is the main service town for RV travellers exploring the northern peninsula and a common base for visits to L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site and the Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve. Cell service is patchy outside town, distances between fuel and grocery stops are long, and moose are a real driving hazard, especially around dawn and dusk.
Campground options in the area are limited and mostly seasonal. Triple Falls RV Park is a private campground on Route 430 near town, offering serviced RV sites with water and 15/30 amp electrical hookups, hot showers, laundry, a dump station, and a small convenience and craft store. Pistolet Bay Provincial Park, about 45 minutes north via Route 437 near Raleigh, provides 30 unserviced forested sites with a comfort station, showers, laundry, a dump station, water taps, and access to a freshwater pond.
Travellers continuing across the Strait of Belle Isle by ferry to Labrador can also reach Pinware River Provincial Park, a small riverside park on Route 510 with a beach, salmon and trout fishing, and a lookout trail.
Things to do around St. Anthony
L'Anse aux Meadows, the only confirmed Norse settlement in North America, sits about a 45-minute drive from town and features reconstructed sod buildings and walking trails. Nearby Norstead recreates a Viking-era port with interactive exhibits. Fishing Point in St. Anthony has short coastal trails, including the Iceberg Alley and Whale Watchers trails, with boardwalks and lookouts for spotting icebergs, whales, and seabirds.
Boat tours depart St. Anthony harbour in season for iceberg and whale viewing. The Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve near Raleigh protects rare arctic-alpine plants on limestone barrens. Anglers head to the Pinware River in Labrador for Atlantic salmon and brook trout.
Expect a slower pace: driving distances, ferry schedules, and weather often shape the day more than any fixed itinerary.

The camping season on the Great Northern Peninsula is short. Triple Falls RV Park typically operates from mid-May through late September. Pistolet Bay Provincial Park and Pinware River Provincial Park generally run from late May or early June through mid-September, though exact opening and closing dates shift each year and lingering snow can delay the Labrador opening.
Late spring and early summer are prime for iceberg viewing. Peak iceberg season along the northern peninsula typically runs from May into June, and ice can occasionally linger into July around St. Anthony. July and August bring the warmest, driest weather and the best whale watching, but also black flies, mosquitoes, and no-see-ums, particularly at wooded inland sites.
By mid-September most campgrounds close, services along the peninsula wind down, and overnight temperatures drop quickly. Winter travel is not practical for RVs; roads remain open but campgrounds are shut and snow cover is heavy, with the region among the snowiest in Newfoundland.
How to book a site
Provincial park sites are reserved through the Newfoundland and Labrador Parks reservation system at parksnl.ca or by calling the provincial reservation line. Both Pistolet Bay Provincial Park and Pinware River Provincial Park take reservations through this system, with staffed check-in at the park gate on arrival. Provincial park reservations for the summer season generally open in the spring.
Triple Falls RV Park is a private operator and is booked directly with the campground by phone or through its website. Sites can be requested for serviced RV or tent camping.
Summer weekends fill quickly, especially for serviced sites and larger rigs. Book several weeks ahead for July and August, and confirm opening dates in spring, since late snow can push back openings in Labrador. Reservations are strongly recommended given how few campgrounds exist in the region.
