Our rate was with the Good Sam Discount on Labor Day weekend. We did not have a lake site. We were told we could drive our 33' RV forward into the site which put the utilities on the correct side. If the RV parked in front of us was gone when we got ready to leave, we could put forward to get out (it was). Or, we could back out. The Wi-Fi in the area we were in is iffy, depending on the strength of your Wi-Fi card. The Wi-Fi system was hit by lightning early this summer and sustained some damage. Although I could connect to the #4 antenna, I couldn't get to the internet, and this is a known problem by management. My husband's computer has a strong Wi-Fi card and he was able to connect to another antenna in the park and get on the internet. This is the best place to stay to visit Hopewell Rocks, but we didn't feel the rate was pricey for the spot we had.

We agree with the previous reviews. We stayed here after getting off the ferry from Newfoundland because it is so accessible and close to the ferry. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because the Wi-Fi signal didn't reach our site even though we weren't that far away from the antenna. It still is a beautiful park and we'd definitely stay here again.

This is definitely a place for families. We stayed overnight on our way from North Sydney to Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick. It's close to the highway but from our site we did not notice any noise. Our site had water, electricity, sewer, cable, and Wi-Fi. The site was very long, but barely wide enough for the living room slide because of a cement patio for the site. Also, for our 33' RV the location of the patio did not put it directly out the door, but that was OK. In spite of families all around us, it was very quiet after adult bedtime. We would stay here again as a stop over site.

Based on negative reviews we were not going to stay here, but were encouraged to do so by Nova Scotians who had, so we stayed here five days, and were very glad we did. We used this as a base to visit Halifax and all surrounding areas. Our space for a 33' Class A with two slides, was not big, but we were able to back in and get our tow car beside the rig with the picnic table at the back of the site, behind the car. When it rained it was not the cleanest area, but this campground is in the trees, and the roads are gravel/dirt as are most campgrounds in the Maritimes, so we just dealt with it. The Wi-Fi was not the greatest at times. The best part of staying here was taking the owner up on his offer to cook live lobster for us, free of charge. We just had to let him know the morning of the day he was to cook. He suggested we buy them at Ryer's, just north of Peggy's Cove, which we did on our way back. They were put in a refrigerator in the office and we came back about a half hour before they would be ready, and had a very pleasant visit with him, his wife, and friends of theirs while our lobster cooked. He gave them to us cracked, in a covered foil pan, and added bibs and picks. We figured we had twice the amount of lobster for half the price of going out for a lobster dinner!

We definitely agree with the previous posts. Our rate is after taxes are added and a 10% Good Sam discount, otherwise it's $28 plus tax for either partial or full hookups. It's well located for visiting Gros Morne National Park and surrounding areas, as well as driving to the parking lot for the Western Brook Pond boat tour.

Going westbound the directions for getting here in the Trailer Life Directory were perfect so we had no trouble finding it. Also, along the right side of the road soon after exiting the highway there are several small blue/white signs with a trailer, a directional arrow, and the word "Rockwood" that lead to the park. Our GPS system did put the campground on a road paralell and just before the road for the campground. But with the name of the road in hand I realized that we had to go one road more before we turned right on Lake Drive South. We stayed in the gravel area sites, which are not so attractive, but are generous in width. Because one utility post serves 4 sites, each with its own plug and water faucet on the post, you may need an extension cord and extra hose depending on where you locate your rig within the individual site. The laundry room has large capacity washers and dryers, and the dryer ran long enough to completely dry a load of jeans without having to put it through another drying cycle. The Wi-Fi worked fine for us as we were near the laundry room where the antenna is located.

We used this park for an overnight ferry trip to Labrador by car and left the RV in the park. The office building is very clean with three new large capacity washers and dryers in the laundry room, a meeting room, and showers. While taking a shower be aware of a pressure change and move away from the stream as it will go hot or cold depending on the new demand for water elsewhere in the building. Otherwise, the pressure was great. Water was on a "boil order" so come with as much in your tank as you'll need for your stay. There is a dump station. Sites around the perimeter chain link fence are numbered but no hookups. On one side of the office building are two 30amp plugs. On the other side the same, but the office has supplied, in addition, two long extension cords out the window for 15amp service from plugs in the building. At the rear of the building is another extension cord out the window for 15 amp service. The park is right across from the ferry terminal office, and loading for the ferry is just a block away. There is also a gas station next door with easy access for all size rigs. Staff was very pleasant. The city is trying to get funding to upgrade the number of electrical sites next year. With such easy access to the ferry we could forgive the transient water pressure, and we knew ahead of time that water may not be available. We would stay here again even if not going to Labrador. Electricity $20, dry $16, tent $12. N51*,12.000, W056*,46.634, on the left hand side of the road.

This two-year old park is very neat, clean, and well maintained. We stayed here six nights for our visit to St. John's and the surrounding area. Since we have a tow car, we saw no need to take the RV all the way into St. John's, as this park is centrally located for sightseeing this area of the island. The owner's are very friendly and helpful. They are located at exit 36 on the south side of TCH 1.

This campground will not open in 2009 because it cannot meet sewage standards of the province. The governmental owner will not sell the campground to the lessees for the offered price, and refuses to allocate funding to meet sewage standards.

Rates can be lower depending on site location and season. Usually $29-44. 62+ senior discount of $2. Dump station available. Reservations are heavy during the summer, but it is a beautiful place to be in the winter.

Dump station here, also used by those camping at Oceano campground. Rates vary depending on season. No reservations during winter season. Sites are far apart, much quieter than Oceano campground. Be aware of generator hours. Short walk to Monarch butterfly exhibit Nov-Mar. Not all sites accommodate large RVs. We stay here with 33' RV and car. 38'+ might find it a little tight and few spots to choose from.
