Marine Atlantic: crossings & current schedule →Stop 1: Fitzgerald's Pond Provincial Park
A Provincial Park Reserve, not a provincial park with a campground. ParksNL defines these as pre-1997 parks whose campground area was deproclaimed and privatised, with the rest kept to protect natural features. It states that park reserves have no visitor services, so there is no washroom.

The crossing you arrive onSeasonal — Argentia is not the year-round crossing
Port aux Basques runs through the winter; Argentia does not. Confirm the sailing first, because the other landing is on the far side of the island.

The province says the likelihood of injury in a moose collision is twice as high between dusk and dawn as in daytime. This is 315.4 km, much of it unlit two-lane highway; plan the drive for daylight where you can.
