Camping near St. Lunaire-Griquet
St. Lunaire-Griquet sits on the tip of Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula, minutes from L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, the Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve, and the coastline of the Strait of Belle Isle. It is one of the northernmost road-accessible communities in Newfoundland, and camping options in the immediate area are limited but well suited to RV travellers touring the Viking Trail (Route 430).
Triple Falls RV Park is the closest full-service option, located on Route 430 near St. Anthony, with water and electrical hookups (15/30 amp), a dump station, showers, laundry, and a small convenience and craft store. Pistolet Bay Provincial Park sits about 12 kilometres off Route 430 along Route 437 and offers 30 unserviced forested sites, each with a picnic table and fireplace, many accommodating larger RVs.
Most travellers use the area as a multi-night base to visit the Viking archaeological site, watch for icebergs and whales, and drive out to Burnt Cape. Distances between fuel stops and services on the peninsula are long, so RV renters typically plan grocery and fuel stops in St. Anthony before heading north.
Things to do in St. Lunaire-Griquet
L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site is the anchor attraction, a UNESCO World Heritage site that opens for the season on June 1. The reconstructed Norse buildings, visitor centre, coastal trails, and interpretive programs typically fill a half-day. Nearby Norstead Viking Village adds a costumed-interpreter experience aimed at families.
Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve sits at the pinnacle of the Great Northern Peninsula, with property home to over 300 species of plants across a windswept limestone barren. The waters off the Northern Peninsula teem with humpback, fin, and minke whales during summer, and whale watching boat tours run from nearby St. Anthony.
Pistolet Bay Provincial Park is a good spot to hook a brook trout, and popular activities include canoeing, fishing, swimming, and hiking, plus a mixed sand-and-rock beach on the Strait of Belle Isle side.

The peak of the iceberg season typically occurs in May and June, and the season stretches longer this far north, with bergs sometimes lingering into July around St. Anthony and L'Anse aux Meadows. Fog is common in spring and early summer and can flatten visibility for boat tours.
July and August are the mildest months of the year and the busiest, with L'Anse aux Meadows fully staffed and evening programs running. September brings cooler nights, thinner crowds, and fall colour on the peninsula, but shoulder-season travellers should confirm campground and attraction closing dates before arriving.
How to book campgrounds near St. Lunaire-Griquet
Pistolet Bay Provincial Park is part of the Newfoundland and Labrador provincial parks system. Sites are reserved through the ParksNL reservation service (nlcamping.ca) or by phone. The park offers 30 campsites in a lovely forested area, each with a picnic table, fireplace and space for a vehicle, with many accommodating larger RVs. Amenities include tap water, toilets, showers, and laundry facilities, and there is a sewage disposal station on the premises.
Triple Falls RV Park takes reservations directly and offers up to 150 RV sites with water and electrical hookups (15/30 amp), clean restrooms and showers, laundry facilities, and a dump station.
Because the region is remote and inventory is limited, iceberg-season and July-August peak dates fill early. Reserving several months ahead is recommended, especially for larger rigs.
What to expect camping near St. Lunaire-Griquet
The drive in is long. Car rentals are available at Deer Lake Regional Airport, and the five-hour drive north along the Viking Trail toward L'Anse aux Meadows crosses much of the province. Roads are two-lane and generally in good condition, but fuel and grocery stops are spaced far apart, so top up in larger towns like Rocky Harbour, Port au Choix, and St. Anthony.
The Northern Peninsula can be cold, foggy, and windy even in summer, so always bring a warm layer, waterproof jacket, and sturdy footwear.
Wildlife sightings, including moose, are sometimes reported around Triple Falls RV Park and elsewhere on the peninsula. Dogs are welcome at Pistolet Bay but must remain leashed, and generators may only be run between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., with any exceptions outside those hours approved by park staff.
