Gros Morne has five Parks Canada campgrounds and Terra Nova has two. These are the national parks’ own; the provincial parks are a separate list.

Book and check the season with Parks Canada: Gros Morne camping · Terra Nova camping.

In a camper van or trailer? Parks Canada says Gros Morne’s five campgrounds are suitable for tents, trailers and recreation vehicles, and that Trout River and Lomond have no electrical hook-ups. Sites are booked through the Parks Canada Reservation Service, online or at 1-877-737-3783; for 2026, Terra Nova’s reservations opened on February 11. For July, book when reservations open.

Questions people actually ask

How many campgrounds are in Gros Morne?＋

Five, by Parks Canada's own list: Berry Hill, Green Point, Shallow Bay, Lomond and Trout River, 236 sites between them.

What about Terra Nova?＋

Two: Newman Sound, the big one with 267 sites, and Malady Head with 89, both by Parks Canada's count. Malady Head is pinned on this page. Newman Sound is not named on the open map yet, so it is not pinned; Parks Canada's camping page has both.

Which is closest off the ferry?＋

From Port aux Basques, the Gros Morne campgrounds are the nearer pair; from Argentia, Terra Nova's. Each campground on this page shows both drives.
