Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
We stayed in the parking lot overnight with a spectacular view of the ocean. There are no signs to disallow overnight parking. Very quiet with only the sound of the surf.

Latest Check-Ins
Dry camping only. There were 7 vehicles here overnight. We stayed a second night because the forecast was for rain all day, so no fun for hiking in Gros Morne. Very quiet because of the weather.

Report Check-InBeautiful spot for the night! Views are amazing and listening to the ocean all night is a bonus. Two levels of parking like previously stated.

No signs anywhere.
Beautiful place to spend the evening. There are 4-6 spaces in the ocean front lot more in the above lot. There are pit toilets, clean but not fresh smelling. One other van was parked overnight. We parked around 8:30pm and we’re in disturbed by any vehicles overnight.

No issues.
Great ocen view from either upper or lower parking areas.
Outhouses and garbage bins.
As described, no signs until today. Shared with at least 5 other campervans, very quiet.
Report Check-Inparked in the lower lot. I listened to the sound of waves all night. great spot to boondock. maybe 4 or 5 cars came to view the Arches after 5:30pm. otherwise pretty quiet. great view!
Report Check-InNice little park with two levels of parking overlooking natural arches in the gulf. Although the website says no camping, there are no signs posted in the park. Overnight there were just us and one other van. Beautiful place to view the stars on a clear night!
Report Check-InGreat spot. The photos say it all! One camper van plus us. Lower level parking has great view of arches but large rigs will need to park across spots and there is more parking above. Strong cell signal (Telus 4 bars). Others came for view and sunset then left.
Report Check-InGorgeous setting. Quiet place to sleep. Killer sunset. We got a beautiful rainbow in the morning.
Bathrooms leave a lot to be desired.
Report Check-Inlovely place , stunning scenery, nice level spots to park a motorhome for the night. we were one of four campers to stay the night. made new friends, shared a glass of wine, enjoyed the sunset, and slept like babies!
Report Check-InParc provincial pour usage de jour. Quelques tables de picnic. Nous y avons passé la nuit en Roadtrek. Un résident du secteur vient souvent regarder ce qu’il se passe pendant la soirée avant la noirceur, sans plus. On y a passé une super nuit.
Report Check-InPicnic area and rest stop at The Arches Provincial Park. Area does not have signs informing you there is no overnight camping. Outhouses are old. View is amazing! We have a 36’ rig with truck and was able to stay a night. Good cell signal.
Report Check-InGreat spot, nothing like falling asleep listening to the waves. Level spots, and picnic tables
Report Check-InBeautiful as described. Quiet. Clean pit toilets. No signs prohibiting overnight stays. Great ocean view. Picnic tables, garbage cans.
Report Check-InUpper and lower parking lot. The upper lot near the bathrooms seemed more level. Trash is available on lower lot and cell signal was good. There were other campers spending the night as well. The natural stone arches are impressive to see and explore and great for photography. We stayed here on our way to and back from L’Ans aux Meadows.
Report Check-Ingreat place, very peaceful with enough space to spread out. local from down the road said definitely not a problem to stay the night. directly at the arches with a nice view. mostly level spots
Report Check-InA nice , flat parking lot with a spectacular view of the Arches. There are a lot of biting flies when we are here.
Report Check-InWe loved this place! The arches alone are worth the spot, plus we spent a very peaceful night in a beautiful spot.
Report Check-InPark parking lot with amazing views of arches. Extremely windy night we were there. Outhouse nearby.
Report Check-Inabsolutely perfect spot! I just randomly stopped here. The pit toilets are open, the trash cans are available also. Not a cloud in sight, the sunset will be majestic!
Report Check-InBeautiful spot!! we had a prefect sunset for late October and a quiet night filled with stars. The toilets are closed now, aswell as the trashbins. Picnic tables made our sunset-dinner perfect.
Report Check-InThis place is great, we stayed here a second time on our way back down. Love the arches. Beautiful spot. We had the whole parking lot to ourselves this time. But windy. Could have fit several more big RVs, ours is 30 ft.
Report Check-InGreat view, pulled up just as the sun was setting over the ocean. Very interesting rock formations on the beach to explore tomorrow. Nice quiet place to park for the night, with lots of room for our 30 ft motorhome.
Report Check-InGood stop, lots of space. People pulling through to have a look but quiet at night.
Report Check-InGreat scenic spot for the night. Lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. Quiet otherwise. Got here later, and two other camper vans we're there. Nice folks.
Report Check-InPeople come and go to have a look at the Arches. Once dark it’s a quiet spot (other than the sound of the waves) with nice ocean views to spend the night. Like others have said, there are picnic tables, bins and pit toilets. Spent the night with 2 other campers.
Report Check-InGreat Spot, and the Arches are beautiful too (even worth a picture stop). quiet, you can hear the cars from the highway but not too much.
there were several other campers here that night (at least 5 in the 2 parking lots), but that's not an issue as it's enough space.
Good spot, with toilet, garbage bins and table for picnic.
We did pich a tent too, no one was there for the night.
Very close to Gros Morne.
Beautiful spot! There is a lower parking lot and upper parking lot. We stayed in the upper as it was less windy. No signs about no camping etc... Very basic toilets and garbage cans. There is a gate but looks like it hasn't moved in years.
Report Check-InDid not sleep, but stoped for lunch. Looks magical for a night, but timing wasn't good for it today. THE perfect stop on the way North after a full day in Gros Morne.
Picnic tables, pit toilets and garbage cans.
nice place, I had a good night here.
The toilets are closed, maybe just for the season.....
We stayed in the parking lot over night with spectacular view of the ocean. There are no signs to disallow overnight parking. Very quiet with only the sound of the surf.
