Campgrounds and RV parks near Summerford, NL

Summerford sits on New World Island in Notre Dame Bay, on the central coast of Newfoundland. The town is reached via Route 340, the main highway linking New World Island and the Twillingate area to the Trans-Canada Highway. This puts it squarely in Iceberg Alley, one of the best places in North America to see icebergs drift south from Greenland in late spring and early summer. RV renters use Summerford as a base for the wider Twillingate and Fogo Island region. The closest serviced option is Dildo Run Provincial Park, a ParksNL campground on Route 340 with 55 campsites, of which 21 offer water and 15, 30, or 50 amp electrical service, plus showers, laundry, and a dump station. Peytons Woods RV Park and Campground offers additional private-park camping in the immediate area. For travellers arriving from the west along the Trans-Canada Highway, Notre Dame Provincial Park at Notre Dame Junction is a common overnight stop before the final drive up to Summerford. Brimstone Head RV Park on Fogo Island and Square Pond Friends and Family RV Park round out the options for a multi-stop central Newfoundland loop.

Dildo Run and Notre Dame Provincial Parks are booked through the ParksNL Campsite Reservation service on parksnl.ca. Reservations for the summer season typically open in mid to late April, and serviced sites at these parks reserve quickly. A nightly vehicle pass is required in addition to the campsite fee, and overnight guests should arrive at the park checkpoint before 10:00 pm. Brimstone Head RV Park is operated by the local Lions Club and booked directly with the park. It has 20 sites with water and electricity, 7 electric-only sites, and additional unserviced and tent sites. There is no on-site dump station, but one is available in nearby Seldom. Peytons Woods RV Park and Campground and Square Pond Friends and Family RV Park are private operations and are booked directly with the campground.
