Lockston Path Provincial Park

We have just spent 3 wonderful days at Lockston Path Provincial Park touring the Bonavista Peninsula. It’s hard to find a provincial park in Newfoundland that has both hydro (20 & 30 amp) and water, Lockston Path has both.

Our site #50...nice but hard to get into

Beautiful area

Most places we have been so far, there’s a boil water notice in effect. This park was no different. We choose to buy bottled water instead of boiling it. The campground gets a B+ in my opinion. It has great 30 amp service and good water pressure. The washrooms were very clean as were the showers which we have to use. Most sites are very private with lots of trees between them. There’s a fresh water lake for swimming, fishing, and kayaking.

The beach...dogs are allowed

The biggest downfall for this park is the 5 km drive in from the highway. The 5 km is okay but the gravel road is soooooo dusty. The interior park roads are also gravel. With no rain in days everything inside the rig has 2 inches of dust on it. People drive very fast making it worse. Because of the lack of rain there is a campfire ban province wide including Labrador. No campfire tonight.


Why I choose sites on a hill I have no idea or maybe it’s because I didn’t know when I reserved it or maybe I think RVing is not enough of a challenge in itself. Pushing the rig back up a hill is not an easy feat, with a drop off on one side and a hill on the other. OMG. However in saying that once we got into our site we really liked it.

A friend came to visit every morning

We have made the turn and are now heading to the west side of Newfoundland again. Hopefully the parking will be easier.
