Shoulder periods in June and September bring fewer visitors and cooler nights, though weather can be unsettled with Atlantic wind and rain.

Things to do at Codroy Valley Provincial Park
- Grand Codroy Estuary Birdwatching EasyRV parking available
The Grand Codroy River estuary is a Ramsar-listed wetland that supports large numbers of waterfowl and shorebirds. Spring and fall migrations are particularly productive, with ducks, geese, and raptors visible from pull-offs and viewpoints along the valley.
- Picnicking and River Views EasyRV parking available
Day-use picnic areas in the park provide open views of the Codroy River and the surrounding Long Range and Anguille Mountains. It is a convenient stop for RV travellers between the ferry at Port aux Basques and points north.
- Cape Anguille Lighthouse Drive EasyRV parking available
A short drive west of the park leads to Cape Anguille, the westernmost point of the island of Newfoundland, with a working lighthouse and sweeping coastal views. The paved route is suitable for most RVs, though the final approach is narrow.
- Salmon and Trout Fishing Moderate
The Grand Codroy and Little Codroy rivers are among Newfoundland's best-known Atlantic salmon rivers. Anglers must hold a valid provincial licence and follow current seasonal regulations.

Short community trails in the Codroy Valley area offer easy walks through mixed forest and farmland with mountain backdrops. They are well suited to travellers looking to stretch their legs without committing to a long hike.

Pull-offs along the Trans-Canada Highway near the park offer dramatic views of the Wreckhouse, a wind-prone coastal plain backed by the Long Range Mountains. RV drivers should check wind advisories before passing through.

How to get to Codroy Valley Provincial Park
The park is reached via the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1), with access roads branching south toward Doyles and Upper Ferry. It is roughly a 45-minute drive (about 45 km) northeast of Channel-Port aux Basques, the ferry terminal from North Sydney, Nova Scotia, and around 3.5 hours south of Corner Brook. RV drivers should watch for the exposed Wreckhouse area along the TCH near the park, where extreme crosswinds regularly force high-profile vehicle restrictions. The nearest commercial airport for fly-and-rent trips is Deer Lake Regional Airport (YDF), about 2.5 hours northeast.
