One of the best campgrounds in Newfoundland. The owners of this campground are very friendly and willing to help with information on the surrounding area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Probably the best park on the island when you consider the nice lots, full service and friendliness of the owners. We had to stay longer here due to ferry problems, and the owners were very accommodating. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Less than 45 minutes from Ferry and easily found at night. Family staff very friendly. Large sites some with river view. German Shepard enjoyed it after six hour ferry ride. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Best Park in Newfoundland!!! Very large sites, great free Wi-Fi. Well kept grounds. Owners are incredible helpful!!! They go out of their way to make your visit fantastic! They understand RVers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a fine, clean, beautiful campground with a great nature trail and craft shop right on premises. The only fault I can find with this is it doesn't have pull through sites. I must agree with other reviews about everything else. I would go back there, in fact I did, I stopped coming and going from the Viking Trail. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We've been camping here for about five years. It's become a home away from home. It has basically everything you need and our three kids enjoy the simple things, like getting to feed the fish, or playing soccer in the large lots, riding their bikes, going to the nearby beach, lots of campfire marshmallow roasts. We are originally from this area so it works great for going 'home'. We can have our space and everything that goes with it...nice lot with cute trees like mountain ash and others that house a newly found birds nest...we can visit family and still be a 30 - 45 minute away from it all. So hopefully we will be coming here as long as our kids allow us to travel and then when they get to old we plan on something a little smaller like a motorhome. One thing I absolute never get sick of at this campground is the fresh air, the sound of mooing cows nearby, and the blue color of the mountains in the background. Did I mention the wildflowers, the birds, the scenery of Codroy Valley? We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great family owned campground whose owner, Dennis adds lots of Newfoundland humor. The sites are spacious and lots of room between rigs. There is lots of things to see in the Codroy Valley so we stayed there twice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A lovely campground. Very clean and tidy. Plenty of room between the sites which were big and level. Beautiful views. I can't fault it at all, and the owners are always available and extremely friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A beautiful campground with great views of river and mountains. Owners on site, and very friendly and helpful. The campsites are large and well separated from the neighboring site. Free WiFi available from many campsites or at the office. This is the best place to stay for access to or from the ferry at Port aux Basques. We spent a very enjoyable week here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice "grassy" RV Park with good views. The WiFi is free. Camp fees must be paid for in cash as they do not accept cards. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here twice during our trip to Newfoundland, after we arrived on the ferry, and the night before we took the ferry back to Nova Scotia. This campground is nice enough to be a destination in itself. Sites are spacious and level. Bathrooms are clean. They have a small laundry with 3 washers and 3 dryers. Both hookups we had are 3-way (full hook-up). Alice, the lady who was running the office during both visits, is very friendly and advised us against taking the 14 hour ferry back to Nova Scotia. Some sites are shaded and some are full sun. A few have a river view, most do not. This campground is a former provincial park. On our return visit, it was warmer, and bugs were still scarce We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very well-run and extremely attractive park. Sites are large, level and well-graveled and the walking trail is the most beautiful and entertaining (lots of funny signs throughout) I have ever seen. The washrooms and showers are immaculate; however, with only three per gender, lineups might become an issue. Some advice: ignore the arrival directions posted on their website: the Irving station they mention no longer exists and the exits are no longer numbered. You’re best off just to follow the signs on the TCH and be careful to take the northern-most road to Doyles: if you take the southern-most of the two, there’s a hair-pin turn that a big rig could never negotiate, particularly with a toad. The staff are the friendliest and most helpful ever. I would have given the park a ‘10’ but there’s no pool, Wi-Fi or cable (CBC received on the amplified antenna.) Nevertheless, it’s a super place to go and we’ll be back on the return trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.
