Worth stopping for
J.T. Cheeseman Provincial Park
On the way to…
The ParksNL campground on this route, minutes before town — sand beach, dune boardwalk, and the last sheltered pitch before the ferry. It is also piping plover shore: parts of the beach close for nesting, and the park's own postings say where. Season and sites are ParksNL's calendar.
Stopping here adds about 4 min and 2.6 km to that drive (3h 28m door to door).
When it is open
“The J.T. Cheeseman campground opens 15 May 2026 and closes 14 September 2026 for the 2026 camping season. All dates are subject to change, depending on weather conditions.”

What the map knows

The map last touched this element on 2026-06-01 — 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.
