Pistolet Bay Provincial Park is a scenic campground located on the Great Northern Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador, encompassing 897 hectares within the lowland regions of the Long Range Mountains. Situated along Route 430, this 30-site provincial park offers an accessible gateway to one of Canada's most remote and pristine natural regions.
The campground provides essential amenities for RV and tent camping, including shower facilities, laundry facilities, a sewage disposal station, tap water, and fully operational toilets. Each unserviced campsite features a picnic table, firepit, and garbage can. Reliable cell service is available throughout the park.
Visitors enjoy abundant outdoor recreation, including canoeing and kayaking on a freshwater pond, fishing, swimming, and hiking opportunities. The park's location near iconic attractions—including L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site (home to North America's Viking settlement) and the sensitive Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve—adds cultural and ecological significance.
The Great Northern Peninsula setting offers dramatic coastal scenery, remote wilderness, and access to some of Newfoundland and Labrador's most distinctive landscapes. This makes it an ideal destination for those seeking adventure and natural beauty in Atlantic Canada. Reservations are highly recommended due to the park's popularity and remote location.
