Campgrounds near Torbay
Torbay sits on the Atlantic coast of the Avalon Peninsula, about fifteen minutes north of downtown St. John's. RV travellers use it as a quiet base for exploring the East Coast Trail, the Irish Loop, and the seabird colonies of Witless Bay, without the traffic of the capital.
Most overnight options for RVers cluster within an hour's drive. Marine Park Jellystone and Crowhill RV Park sit in the Conception Bay area northwest of Torbay, while The Oldmill RV Park serves travellers moving through central Avalon. South of St. John's, Butter Pot Provincial Park and La Manche Provincial Park offer forested provincial-park camping close to the Trans-Canada Highway and Route 10.
Because Torbay itself is a residential town without a municipal campground, most RV renters stage at one of these nearby parks and day-trip into Torbay, Middle Cove Beach, and Cape Spear.
Things to do near Torbay
The Torbay area is built around coastal walking. Sections of the East Coast Trail pass through Torbay, Flatrock, and Middle Cove, with sea-stack views, whale sightings in early summer, and capelin rolling onto Middle Cove Beach in June and July.
Inland day trips from the campgrounds are straightforward. Butter Pot Provincial Park covers roughly 2,833 hectares of forests, bogs, and ponds, with swimming spots and the climb up Butter Pot Hill for a wide view of the surrounding countryside. At La Manche, a short trail leads through boreal forest to the remains of a fishing village abandoned after a January 1966 winter storm, ending at a 50-metre suspension bridge that is part of the East Coast Trail.
Boat tours out of Bay Bulls reach puffin and whale grounds within a short drive.

The provincial camping season on the Avalon is short. Butter Pot and La Manche provincial parks both open around the Victoria Day weekend in mid-May and close in mid-September. Private parks such as Marine Park Jellystone, Crowhill RV Park, and The Oldmill RV Park generally open earlier in May and stretch into October, depending on weather.
Late June through August is the reliable window. Campground services are open, coastal fog is less persistent, and daytime highs sit in the mid-teens to low twenties Celsius. Capelin roll in late June, icebergs can still be visible off the northern Avalon into early July, and whale activity peaks in July.
Shoulder-season trips in May and September are quieter but wetter and cooler. From August to October, the island can occasionally be hit by Atlantic hurricanes that arrive weakened by cold water but can still bring heavy rain and strong winds.
Booking and reservations
Provincial-park sites near Torbay are booked through the ParksNL system. A campsite can be reserved by calling toll-free 1-877-214-CAMP (2267) or by visiting parksnl.ca. The reservation window for the full season opens in a single launch each spring, typically in late April, and popular weekends at Butter Pot fill quickly.
Sites at Butter Pot are unserviced with no water, electric, or sewage hookups, though a trailer dumping station is located within the campground. La Manche offers some sites with electrical hookups, including 30 and 50 amp service. Private parks including Marine Park Jellystone, Crowhill RV Park, and The Oldmill RV Park are booked directly with each operator and typically offer serviced sites for larger rigs.
What to expect
Expect cool, changeable weather. Even in July and August, evenings drop into the single digits Celsius and coastal fog can settle in for a full day. St. John's is often called the foggiest city in Canada, so layers, a wind shell, and rain gear are standard packing.
Roads to the campgrounds are paved and RV-accessible, but sites themselves tend to be wooded and uneven. La Manche campsites are RV-friendly for vehicles up to about 35 feet, and arriving early improves the chance of a waterfront spot. Cell coverage is reliable near Torbay and along the Trans-Canada, but thins out on parts of the Irish Loop.
Wildlife is common. Moose are active at dawn and dusk on Avalon highways, so night driving should be avoided when possible.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Torbay, NL
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Torbay, NL?
RV rental in Torbay is an affordable way to explore the Avalon Peninsula. On RVezy, motorhomes near Torbay average around $200 per night, while travel trailers and tent trailers come in closer to $120 per night, and many hosts offer 10 to 20 percent discounts on weekly or monthly bookings. You can filter by price, RV type, and sleeps count to find a cheap RV rental in Torbay that matches your trip. Pro tip: book a travel trailer that the host delivers to Pippy Park or Butter Pot Provincial Park so you only drive your own vehicle around the Avalon and save on fuel.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Torbay,%20Newfoundland%20and%20LabradorDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Torbay, Newfoundland?
Good news: a regular Class 5 driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Torbay for almost every motorhome, campervan, and travel trailer on RVezy. Newfoundland and Labrador allows standard licence holders to operate any two-axle motor vehicle, a self-propelled motorhome with two or more axles, and a towed vehicle up to 4,500 kg, which covers the vast majority of rentals on the platform. You'll need to be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID through the booking process so there's no extra paperwork at pickup. Visiting from the US, UK, or Europe? Your home licence is accepted in Newfoundland, so you can land at YYT and head straight to your RV.
gov.nl.ca/motorregistration/drivers/classes/What protection is included when I rent an RV in Torbay?
Every RV rental in Torbay booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the Trans-Canada Highway with peace of mind. You choose your coverage level at checkout (not the host), which means you stay in control of how much added protection you want for your trip. The plan covers eligible damage to the RV during your rental and is designed to give you meaningful financial protection between Torbay and Gros Morne. Pro tip: pick a higher-tier package for longer Newfoundland road trips where gravel side roads and changeable Atlantic weather are part of the adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Torbay RV rental?
You can book your Torbay RV rental with confidence because RVezy sets the cancellation policy, not the individual host. There is a grace period right after booking so first-time renters are not locked in if plans change, and refund eligibility after that depends on how far out you are from your trip start date. Because the policy is platform-wide, you will not see different cancellation rules on every listing. Pro tip: review the current cancellation details on the RVezy Help Center before you book so you know exactly where you stand if an Atlantic storm or schedule change forces a reschedule.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Torbay?
Absolutely, many hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental in Torbay, so you and your dog can explore the Avalon Peninsula together. Just use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy when you search, and you'll see motorhomes and trailers where pets are welcome, sometimes with a small cleaning fee set by the host. Pippy Park Campground in nearby St. John's allows leashed pets on its sites and trails, and Middle Cove Beach, just minutes from Torbay, is a local favorite for dogs to splash in the cold Atlantic. Pro tip: pack a long lead and a towel because the East Coast Trail sections from Torbay to Flatrock and Outer Cove are stunning, breezy, and very wet-paw-friendly.
newfoundlandlabrador.com/plan-and-book/campgrounds-and-parks/210508Can the RV be delivered to me in Torbay or at a nearby campground?
Yes, RV delivery in Torbay is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers who would rather skip driving a big rig through downtown St. John's hills. Many hosts will deliver and set up your motorhome or trailer right at Pippy Park, Butter Pot Provincial Park, La Manche Provincial Park, or a private driveway in Torbay, then walk you through the systems before they leave. Delivery fees are set by each host and typically scale with distance, so a drop-off in Torbay or Logy Bay costs less than one out to Bonavista. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm the delivery quote and ask them to include a quick orientation on the propane, water, and waste systems.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038492654-Delivery-optionsHow far can I drive from Torbay on a typical RV rental?
You can cover a lot of ground on a Torbay RV trip because the island's main attractions are closer than people expect. St. John's is a 15-minute drive south, Cape Spear (the easternmost point in North America) is about 30 minutes, Butter Pot Provincial Park sits roughly 45 minutes west, and La Manche Provincial Park is about an hour south. Want to go bigger? Trinity and the Bonavista Peninsula are roughly 3.5 hours northwest, and Gros Morne National Park is around 7 hours across the Trans-Canada Highway. Most hosts include a daily kilometre allowance and sell extras for a small per-km fee, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage. Pro tip: confirm the mileage allowance with your host before booking if you plan a full island loop.
newfoundlandlabrador.com/trip-ideas/road-tripsWhere are the best campgrounds near Torbay for RV camping?
You are spoiled for choice for RV camping in Torbay and the surrounding Avalon Peninsula. Pippy Park Campground in St. John's offers serviced and unserviced sites with full hookups, showers, and trails right in the city, about 15 minutes from Torbay. Butter Pot Provincial Park (about 45 minutes west) has forested sites and trout ponds, and La Manche Provincial Park (about an hour south) offers sites near the famous suspension bridge to the abandoned La Manche village. Marine Park in Pouch Cove is a family favourite about 20 minutes north with a sandy beach. Pro tip: serviced sites at La Manche and Pippy Park book up quickly for July and August, so reserve as soon as the ParksNL window opens in the spring.
parksnl.ca/When is the best time of year to rent an RV in Torbay?
The sweet spot for RV camping in Torbay is mid-June through mid-September, when daytime highs typically sit in the mid to high teens Celsius and provincial parks are fully open. July and August are peak season for whale watching off Cape Spear, while late May and early June bring the best iceberg viewing odds and fewer crowds. Pippy Park typically operates from mid-May to October, and ParksNL campgrounds like Butter Pot and La Manche generally open in late May and close in mid-September. Pro tip: pack layers no matter the month because Atlantic fog can roll in even on a sunny July day and the breeze off Torbay Bight keeps things cool well into summer.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.htmlI've never driven an RV before. Is renting in Torbay a good idea for a first-timer?
Renting an RV in Torbay is a great choice for first-time renters because the local geography is forgiving and the host community is hands-on. Every RVezy host provides a walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water, the dump valves, and driving tips, so you are never left guessing. Many Torbay-area hosts will even deliver to your campground (Pippy Park is a popular spot) so your first drive is short and stress-free. Stick to a Class B campervan or smaller Class C if you are nervous, and avoid driving downtown St. John's where Water Street and Signal Hill Road have steep grades and tight turns. Pro tip: message the host before booking with your itinerary, they are often locals who know the easiest routes around the Avalon.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360003332533-For-guestsWhat happens if my rental RV breaks down near Torbay?
You are covered if something goes sideways. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on Marine Drive or a battery issue at Butter Pot is one phone call away from being handled. Roadside support can dispatch help across the Avalon Peninsula and along the Trans-Canada Highway, and the RVezy support team is reachable before, during, and after your trip. Your host is also typically a local and a great backup resource. Pro tip: save the roadside number and your host's contact in your phone before you leave Torbay, and snap a photo of your RV's licence plate and unit number so you can share details quickly if you need help on the road.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Torbay RV rental off the island or across the border?
Yes, most hosts allow interprovincial travel, so you can take your Torbay RV across Newfoundland and even ferry to mainland Canada via the Marine Atlantic ferry from Port aux Basques to North Sydney, Nova Scotia. Popular routes from Torbay include the Bonavista Peninsula (about 3.5 hours), Gros Morne National Park (about 7 hours), and the full Cabot Trail loop with a ferry crossing. Travel into the United States may be permitted with host approval, so message them through the listing before booking. Travel into Mexico is not allowed on RVezy rentals. Pro tip: book your ferry crossing months in advance for summer travel since RV-friendly cabins and vehicle spots sell out fast.
marineatlantic.ca/How much should I budget for fuel on a Torbay RV trip?
Fuel is one of the bigger line items on any Newfoundland road trip, but it's predictable once you know the numbers. Class B campervans typically get 18 to 22 miles per gallon, Class C motorhomes average 10 to 14, and Class A rigs around 8 to 10. Gas prices in Newfoundland and Labrador are regulated weekly by the Public Utilities Board, so they're consistent across the province. For a typical week-long Torbay RV trip covering 1,000 km around the Avalon, budget roughly $250 to $400 in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: top up in St. John's or Mount Pearl before heading deep into the Bonavista or Burin Peninsulas, where stations are spaced further apart.
pub.nl.ca/applications/petroleum/index.phpHow far in advance should I book a campground near Torbay?
Book early and you will have your pick of the best sites. ParksNL opens its annual reservation window in the spring for all provincial parks, including Butter Pot and La Manche, and serviced sites often sell out for July and August within days. Pippy Park Campground in St. John's also recommends booking as soon as their system opens, especially for Canada Day weekend and the George Street Festival. Reservation fees and nightly rates are posted on the ParksNL site, and cancellations are generally accepted within posted deadlines. Pro tip: midweek arrivals (Sunday through Tuesday) are far easier to snag than Friday and Saturday during peak summer.
parksnl.ca/What are the local driving conditions like around Torbay?
Driving around Torbay is straightforward once you know a few local quirks. The main routes (Torbay Road, Logy Bay Road, and the Outer Ring Road into St. John's) are well-maintained two-lane roads with moderate hills and ocean views. Fog can roll in quickly along the coast, especially in June and July, so drive with headlights on. Avoid taking larger Class A or Class C rigs through downtown St. John's, where Water Street, Duckworth Street, and the climb up Signal Hill Road have steep grades and tight corners. Winter brings snow and ice from December to April. Pro tip: moose are a serious hazard at dawn and dusk on the Trans-Canada Highway west of St. John's, so slow down and scan the shoulders.
gov.nl.ca/ti/highway-safety/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Torbay?
Campgrounds near Torbay range from full-service to back-to-nature, so you can match your comfort level. Pippy Park offers full hookups (15, 30, and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer), hot showers, laundry, and Wi-Fi. Marine Park in Pouch Cove has a convenience store, propane filling, laundry, and a sandy beach. Butter Pot Provincial Park has a dump station and potable water but no individual site hookups, while La Manche offers serviced sites with electrical hookups. Most provincial parks include a fire pit and picnic table at every site. Pro tip: gas stations along the Trans-Canada Highway near Holyrood typically have public dump stations, handy if you are boondocking your way around the Avalon.
parksnl.ca/What's inside a typical RV rental in Torbay?
Your Torbay RV rental will feel a lot like a small apartment on wheels. Most motorhomes and trailers on RVezy sleep 4 to 8 people across a queen bed, bunks, and convertible dinettes, with a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), a wet or dry bathroom with toilet and shower, a propane furnace, air conditioning, and seatbelted seats for travel. Many include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and even a generator for boondocking off-grid. Cell and Wi-Fi coverage can be spotty in rural Newfoundland, so do not rely on a hotspot for streaming once you leave the Avalon. Pro tip: filter by sleeps count and amenities on RVezy, and message hosts to confirm essentials like a heated water tank if you are traveling in May or September.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Torbay,%20Newfoundland%20and%20LabradorWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts offering RV rental in Torbay typically have a menu of optional add-ons that make your trip easier. Common extras include bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, camping chairs, BBQ rentals, portable generators, bike racks, and pet packages. Many hosts offer delivery and setup for a flat fee or a per-km rate, which is ideal if you are flying into St. John's International Airport (YYT), just 10 minutes from Torbay. Mileage policies vary, with most hosts including a daily kilometre allowance and selling extras at a small per-km rate, though some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage. Pro tip: bundle bedding and a kitchen kit for your first booking so you can step in and start cooking partridgeberry pancakes right away.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Torbay,%20Newfoundland%20and%20LabradorHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy at the time of booking using a credit card, never cash to the host, so everything is documented and protected. Hosts set a refundable security deposit for their RV, which is held separately from your booking payment and released after the trip once the vehicle is returned in the same condition. Deposit amounts vary by RV and are shown in the listing before you confirm. To avoid surprises, take date-stamped photos of the interior, exterior, and odometer at both pickup and drop-off in Torbay. Pro tip: review the host's mileage, generator, and cleaning policies in the listing before booking so the final charge matches your expectations and your deposit comes back in full.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Torbay in the winter or shoulder season?
Yes, winter and shoulder-season RV rentals in Torbay are available, though the selection is smaller than in summer. Newfoundland winters are long, snowy, and windy, with January temperatures often dipping below minus 5 degrees Celsius and strong Atlantic gales, so look for an RV with a heated and enclosed underbelly, a propane furnace, and shore power capability if you plan to camp in the cold. Most provincial park campgrounds close by mid-September, but Pippy Park typically stays open later into the fall and some hosts allow stationary rentals at a property with hookups. Pro tip: shoulder season (late May and September) offers the magic combo of fewer crowds, lower nightly rates, and a strong chance of seeing the last icebergs or Newfoundland's fall colours.
