About Notre Dame Provincial Park

Notre Dame Provincial Park is a seasonal provincial park in central Newfoundland and Labrador, located near the town of Lewisporte along the shores of the Bay of Exploits. The park sits on the northeast coast of the island of Newfoundland and offers a wooded, waterfront setting with access to a freshwater swimming pond and a sandy beach area. Operated by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, the park features serviced and unserviced campsites, a day-use area, picnic facilities, hiking trails, and a playground. It is a popular base for exploring the Kittiwake Coast, iceberg viewing routes, and nearby outports. Families and RV travellers use the park as a quiet stopover between Gander, Twillingate, and the Trans-Canada Highway. Wildlife in the surrounding boreal forest includes moose, red fox, and a variety of seabirds, while the adjacent coastline is known for spring and early-summer icebergs drifting south on the Labrador Current.

Best time to visit Notre Dame Provincial Park

Late June through August is the best window, when campgrounds are open, daytime highs are comfortable for swimming, and coastal fog lifts more often. July and August also align with iceberg and whale viewing along the nearby Kittiwake Coast. Early June and September are quieter shoulder options, though nights are cool and some services may be reduced. The park is closed in winter.
