Short Description
There are lengthy open sites in Loop 4, #138 thru 167.
FF: You want to be in those sites. The following back-in sites are in the older section with 30 amp service. You may have to wiggle your way into some of these. Streets are paved in this section. The #1 - 35 loop is the easiest. Sites #3, 5, 14 & 18 - 45 feet, #7 & 11 - 50 feet and #15 & 34 at 55 feet. In the #36 - 133 loop you will have to swing wide then back up slightly to make the turn into this area - should not be problematic (we did it). Sites #45 & 58 - 45 feet, #53, 54 & 59 - 50 feet, #47, 57, 65 & 85 - 55 feet while #50, 51, 52 & 89 are 60 footers. Room at the site for your tow. Some sites slope off at the front. Gensets allowed until 11:00 PM. Open mid-May to October. DIRECTIONS: On TCH-1, Exit #46 and head south on Allandale for just over one mile (going through two lights in the process) and take a right onto Nagles Place. Go a few hundred feet, swing over to the left as much as possible and take the second right. Unhook at check-in area. When departing hook up outside of the park in the designated area.
Restaurant Tip: For dinner, upscale, Bianca’s, 171 Water St., 709-726-9016
TOURIST TIPS: Historic Signal Hill – site of Marconi’s first trans-Atlantic wireless transmission. Overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and harbor. Numerous scenic walking trails.
Cape Spear National Historic Site – easternmost point of land in North America.
Footnote: There are no structured rest areas on the TCH-1 highway. Therefore we are listing a few pull-overs to allow you a “break”, or in some cases, dry camp for the evening. We are listing them in order of coming off the ferry in Port Aux Basques and working your way east towards St. Johns.
