Grand Bay Park | Wild Camping

Just want to specify that it says no overnight camping for 2023 construction season because of hurricane Fiona damage. Camping may resume 2024. Lets hope! But still nice to visit.

Agree with all preceding comments. Very popular due to the ferry close by. Beautiful beach. Nice hiking trail as well

Perfect spot to stop after the ferry ride. 5 minutes away from the terminal. Large flat parking lot. Very clean toilets. Nice sandy beach and walking trails.

Flat lot at the end of Kyle Ln. Beautiful spot, but can be windy. Washrooms available here, beach and boardwalk trail as well. Cell/data is good. No signs indicating no overnight parking.
SUV, small van, two camper vans and myself were here overnight.

Good place for an overnight waiting the ferry

Great quiet place to camp after getting off ferry at midnight. Morning walkers start arriving at 8 a.m. so it gets busy. We walked the beach in the morning and picked up trash using some great plastic baskets they had on hand. Locals appreciated our efforts.

There is a second entry down the road from this one that has the correct coordinates

Amazing place to stay near the ferry terminal, whether you’re arriving from Sydney on a late ferry, or before boarding an early ferry the following morning. It’s not just convenient… it has a stunning seaside trail that was a highlight of our stay in Newfoundland. Nothing posted discouraging overnight camping (and there are plenty of other notices around beach and hunting rules, so they would have said something if it was an issue). There were 3 other vans in the lot when we stayed. Lovely beach for swimming in warmer weather. Two ponies were grazing the fields. Saw a few bearded seals in the sea while walking the trail. Clean washrooms 24/7 with cold water only. Also a hose with spray nozzle. Very quiet and mostly level gravel lot.

This is the second time we have stayed at this lovely spot. The bathrooms are open and are well stocked with toilet paper and hand soap. There’s a great loop trail to check out that starts ( or ends) at the boardwalk. Be sure to check it out! It was a great thing to do after our long van trip to get here for the ferry trip tomorrow morning.

As previously stated. Nice beach, quiet at night. Trails are a worth a walk. 2 other vans came after us. Plenty of room for a few more rigs.

Great spot. Lots of room, very quiet. Enjoyed our night there. The hiking trail and beach are really nice. Lots of locals enjoying the trail, no one seemed to care we were there for the night.

All the facilities are closed this time of the year, no toilets available. Quiet spot.

Not an official campground (as indicated by the title). But a gravel parking area at a beach and trailhead with lots of amenities. Perfect location before or after ferry. Level parking space for approx 8 RVS any size. New red fence, clean stocked flush toilets available, even this late in the year.

Nothing to add that’s not already been said. Falling asleep to the sound of surf!

The beach is very relaxing with plenty of picnic tables and chairs to read a book. 2 toilets & change rooms available. Lots of visitors during the day but very quiet at night.

Très belle place .Grand sentier le long de la mer.

Absolutly gorgeous! Only some minutes from the ferry. There is a nice trail along the beach. Lots of moquitos in the late evening...

Stationnement en gravier près de le place et d’un sentier pédestre. Parfait pour s’arrêter une nuit à l’arrivée à Port aux Basques ou avant le départ vers la Nouvelle-Ecosse. Petit marais près de la ville. Beau coucher de soleil par temps dégagé. Toilettes et eau disponible.

July 20th, 2019 by lemelin.sophie

Spot tranquille sur gravier au niveau du marais à deux pas de la plage. Parfait pour une nuit de repos bien méritée après 15h de route et 7h de traversier :)

Everyone's descriptions are accurate. It's a perfect place for before or after your ferry trip. Many others spent the night here on the night we were there.

Great beach, nice place
Keep the area clean

August 5th, 2018 by Andys

Nice, quiet and level parking lot in a beautiful setting right next to a sandy beach and walking trails. Great camp spot when visiting this area. There are no restrictions to staying in this parking lot as is common in Newfoundland. Highly recommend to stay here.

Parking lot at the beach, nice view on the ocean. Can become very busy in the daytime with beautifull weather, quiet at night. Nice hike with views on the ocean.
