Canada’s national parks, national historic sites, and national marine conservation areas provide outstanding examples of our country’s natural landscapes, generate economic activity by attracting visitors from Canada and abroad, and provide Canadians with access to our natural and cultural heritage.
Canadians, youth, and visitors to our country are now able to book their experiences at Parks Canada’s treasured places for the 2019 operating season. Whether it be booking a fully-serviced campsite or an interpretive guided hike, Parks Canada’s Reservation Service for 39 national parks and national historic sites across Canada, allows visitors to plan their trips with confidence, ease, and know that they have a guaranteed spot at their favourite park or site.
Parks Canada is excited to welcome new and returning visitors to the national treasure that is Terra Nova National Park. This year, visitors to Terra Nova National Park can experience various camping experiences at Newman Sound and Malady Head campgrounds from fully-serviced campsites to unique accommodations such as our oTENTiks and Ôasis units.
