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 2020 operating season. 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. Visitors to Terra Nova National Park can choose from a variety of camping experiences at Newman Sound and Malady Head campgrounds. There are campsites, from basic to fully serviced, and there are oTENTiks and Ôasis sites that offer roofed accommodations, no tent required. While staying at Terra Nova National Park, visitors are encouraged to try out one of the many activities offered, such as hiking awe inspiring coastal trails and participating in various interpretative programs including guided walks and evening entertainment offered at our outdoor theatre.
