Camping and overnight accommodations

Gros Morne National Park

Parks Canada recognizes that being in nature provides important physical and mental health benefits. Going outdoors, including camping overnight, is a great way to maintain health and wellness.

Parks Canada’s reservation service has moved to an updated platform and visitors will now need to sign up for a new user account to make camping reservations at Newfoundland and Labrador’s national park campgrounds.
