When can I see icebergs?

Icebergs are most commonly viewed during spring and early summer along northern and eastern coastal areas, including communities along Iceberg Alley. The exact timing and location change each year because of wind, currents, sea ice, and weather.

How does RV camping at Harvest Hosts work in Newfoundland?

Harvest Hosts is an annual membership that lets RVers stay overnight at 19 Newfoundland breweries, farms, and resorts with no camping fees. Members request stays through the app, arrive in a self-contained RV, and support their hosts with a purchase — a harborview pint, farm-market provisions, or a resort dinner after the fjord hike.

Is Harvest Hosts worth it for a Newfoundland trip?

Yes — after the ferry investment, the island rewards slow travel, and host stays add exactly the local-connection layer Newfoundland does best. Membership pays for itself in 2–3 nights; the kitchen-party stories are free.

Newfoundland and Labrador RV Camping Guide

The West Coast, Gros Morne, and the Viking Trail

Gros Morne's fjords and the Tablelands — where the Earth's mantle sits exposed at the surface — anchor a UNESCO-grade west coast, with farm and resort stays from the ferry landing at Port aux Basques up the Viking Trail toward L'Anse aux Meadows' 1,000-year-old Norse site, the only confirmed Norse archaeological site in North America and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The drive is long, so travelers should allow several days rather than treating it as a quick extension from Gros Morne.

The Avalon and St. John's

North America's oldest city runs on jellybean-row color, Signal Hill history, and a pub culture that will screech you in if you let it. Cape Spear's continent-edge lighthouse and the puffin colonies of Witless Bay fill the peninsula's day trips.

Central Newfoundland and Iceberg Alley

Twillingate and the Kittiwake Coast front the parade of ten-thousand-year-old ice each spring, with brewery-and-inn stays making the perfect viewing base. Whales follow the capelin in by early summer — some days you get both in one bay.

Eastern Newfoundland and the Bonavista Peninsula

The Bonavista Peninsula brings together coastal scenery, historic communities, sea cliffs, and some of the province's most recognizable small towns. Bonavista, Trinity, Port Rexton, and Elliston can be combined into a slower regional route with hiking, theater, museums, breweries, and working waterfronts. Some roads and parking areas here weren't designed for large modern RVs — review host directions closely, avoid blocking local roads, and confirm turnaround space before entering narrow coastal properties.

Keep Exploring

Continuing the Atlantic loop? Browse hosts in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick, or build a return route through Quebec after exploring Labrador. Leave extra room in the itinerary — in Newfoundland and Labrador, the weather, the ferry, and the conversation with someone you just met may all change the day's plan, and that's often part of the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get my RV to Newfoundland?

Marine Atlantic operates ferry service between North Sydney, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. The North Sydney to Port aux Basques route operates year-round, while service to Argentia on the Avalon Peninsula is seasonal. Approximate crossing times are six hours to Port aux Basques and eleven hours to Argentia, but confirm the current schedule when booking.

How do I travel between Newfoundland and Labrador?

Newfoundland and Labrador are separated by the Strait of Belle Isle. Travelers can connect by air or by ferry between the island and Labrador. Ferry schedules and vehicle availability should be checked before committing to a route.

When is the best time to RV camp in Newfoundland?

June through September, with the magic overlap in early summer: icebergs lingering, whales arriving, and long daylight through the season's festivals. September brings berry-picking, moose-hunting quiet, and the island largely to yourself.

Is driving at night really a problem?

Yes — Newfoundland's moose population makes dawn, dusk, and night driving genuinely hazardous, and locals plan around it. Drive daylight hours, especially on the Trans-Canada's wooded stretches, and the problem solves itself.
