Stopping here adds about 2 min and 0.7 km to that drive (1h 26m door to door).
A ParksNL provincial park on the causeway stretch through Dildo Run — the campground on this route, and the nearest mapped beds-under-canvas to the whole archipelago. Season and sites are ParksNL's to state.

The map last touched this element on 2025-05-20 — an old date is not proof of closure, only of nobody updating the map; if you know better, edit OpenStreetMap and every site built on it learns.
All of it read from the cited element and this site's own measured stops (2026-09-05); nothing above is our endorsement — it is the map's record.
