This is a typical KOA. The campground is well-kept, with a variety of sites. Some are in open grass…read moreor gravel, some more secluded in the woods or next to the lake, Spirity Pond. Average site width is 30 feet and level. The back-in sites are angled for easy access and the interior roadways are wide. Hookups are on the correct side. No low branches. Not all sites have fire pits, but they will provide a portable pit if you ask for one. The camp store is well stocked. We camped for 5 nights in site #85, which had 3 way hookups. The free wifi was strong, but #85 is pretty close to the office. Our site was on a corner, so it was about 40-50' wide. It was also near the dump station, although separated by a stand of trees. We stayed here mid-June, so the campground was only ever a third to half full. There are several seasonal RVs, but they aren't "junky". Most of the RVs in my pictures are seasonal. This is a quiet campground. I was worried because it's right on a road, and our site is close to it, but the sound of cars is minimal. My favourite thing about this campground is the songbirds. The birds, mostly robins, keep up a constant, cheerful song in the background. It really makes for a peaceful, relaxing stay. We took an easy-moderate hike around Spirity Pond. It is not an accessible trail. At a strolling pace, it took us about an hour. We did not see any wildlife on the trail, but there were fresh moose prints in the bog next to the path, so be alert! The campground is close to the Gros Morne visitor centre. The community of Rocky Harbour is about a 15 minute drive away. Rocky Harbour has a variety of small cafes and restaurants, a gas station, convenience stores, etc.

What a location. What a view. What nice accommodations!…read more We got to stay in two different rooms here, only because we spent a night at L'Anse aux Meadows in between. Our first three nights were in Room 1, which features a Queen-sized bed and a spacious bath, along with a very comfortable claw-foot tub. Bright and airy, this room was one of my favorites in our 19 days in Canada. After a night away, we spent our final night here in Room 2, which also featured a very comfortable Queen-sized bed, but this room's private bathroom was down the hall. No big deal, as Aunt Jane's will provide you with a plush terry robe for your convenience. Breakfasts here were always entertaining, with fresh fruit and an assortment of muffins and breads... with lots of homemade jams (partridgeberry was my favorite!) coupled with good coffee and a selection of teas, the morning conversations with Brenda or Tanya were always a hoot! If you're visiting Gros Morne NP, please note that Aunt Jane's is in Woody Point, about 1/2 hour off of the main highway - but less than five minutes from the Gros Morne Discovery Center, on the road toward Trout river. From Aunt Jane's, it is about a five-minute drive to the trail head for the Tablelands trail, and another three minutes to the trail head for Green Garden. I recommend them both very highly! Aunt Jane's Place also provides free WiFi, but... do yourself a favor and leave your electronics at home. This place is just too beautiful to spend your time staring at a computer monitor! I look forward to our next stay there...

As our road trip of Newfoundland's Gros Morne National Park unfolded last month, I was researching…read morevarious places to stay in Rocky Harbour (where most people advised us to stay). I came across an article about two people who had put considerable time, sweat and money into restoration of some historical buildings in Woody Point. The article also described how they won an award for significant contribution to tourism in their area, and those two things combined lead me to look into the businesses. We are so glad we did - we only stayed one night but it was a memorable one night out of a whole 2 week visit across Newfoundland. We stayed at Aunt Jane's B&B in Woody Point, and loved it. Roughly 30 mins off the highway (45-60 mins south of Rocky Harbour), a beautiful drive to get to Woody Point, which ended up being very close to hiking trails, the Gros Morne Discovery Centre, and of course, the infamous Tablelands. As you drive into Woody Point, you may not get the best signage, so just turn right when you get to Woody Point to head down to the water front and the main street (or do as we did, and ask someone, who gave us friendly directions to find it). Mid-September, accommodation options were good but I imagine in high season we would have been less lucky without reservations. We signed up for one night at Aunt Jane's B&B, a beautiful and cozy old home, decorated with loving attention to the smallest of details; we loved our queen bed, in the cozy front room. For approx $90 we also got the private bath, with the claw foot tub (which we enjoyed after a big day of hiking). The B&B in Woody Point is very close to the Tablelands (which you must see if you are in this area). In fact, right out the front door is a spectacular view of the Tablelands and the mountains just over the water. Just down the road are two must-do hikes, up the Partridgeberry Hill lookout at the Discovery Centre and the Green Gardens hike down to the ocean. The B&B breakfast was delicious, toast and local jams (including partridgeberry jam), muffins, cereal, and fresh fruit salad. WiFi worked well, and everyone was so friendly and helpful, including advice on where to stay next, and where to find authentic gifts such as home-knitted mitts, hats etc to take home. The same couple, Jenny and Stan, run the Merchant Warehouse Retro Café & Wine Bar, located on the waterfront of historic Woody Point. The night we were there, there wasn't music, but we could see they were set up for regular acoustic musicians and heard that they often held concerts upstairs, including The Once who were there in the summer! The food in the restaurant was bar-food, quite yum. The decor was all wood, very cozy and casual. The front of the business is a fun 50s theme diner atmosphere. Overall we had a really great visit, loved chatting with the owners, and wished them continued great success and a well deserved holiday coming up! Fun facts - we now can watch Sherman Downey's video of Blue, again, and can say 'we were there!' as the video unfolds on the streets of Woody Point! We loved Sherman and now we also love Woody Point!!

Truly a home away from home and an enjoyable experience…read more The house is quaint with more amenities then I would ever had expected. My room has an ensuite, and a fully stocked medicine cabinet. You name it was in there from q-tips and toothpaste to feminine products. The room was spacious over looking the back yard (be sure to check out the little pond), plenty of closet and dresser space for those that are staying a bit longer. The kitchen - talk about going above and beyond. Fresh muffins, every preserve you could imagine, a variety of cereals, some fresh fruit, and a few varieties of teas. Even the coffee machine was set up and ready to go at the touch of a button. The house was located on adjacent to the transcanada highway and literally five minutes from the airport ($10 taxi fare). A large beach, with a community trail, is just down the road, Tim Hortons, A & W and more, immediately on the opposite side of the highway along with the town proper. Deer Lake was truly a walkable community with everything from food, convenience and more steps away. Over all, a great experience for this junior traveller.

I'd give less if I could. Stayed there last summer. No air conditioning in 30 degree heat. Couldn't…read moresleep. Sweating all night, one fan to share between the 4 of us with beds far away. The outside of the house was covered in spiderwebs and felt like millions of spiders. It looked like a scene of out a horror movie, not even exaggerating. Like someone put a canopy of webs on top of the house. Had to run into the door cause we were afraid the spiders were going to fall on us. If those issues were fixed the place would have been nice. But peeling yourself off your bed in the wee hours of the morning to hit the road cause you can't take it anymore is saying something. I really hope they updated it since. Will never stay in a place without air conditioning again. Lesson learned.

Great B&B! Our hosts were very friendly and provided great travel advice for us on our first couple…read moreof days in Newfoundland. We found the atmosphere to be relaxed and unpretentious - breakfasts were hearty (bacon, eggs, toast, homemade jams), cod cakes and fisherman's brew on the two mornings we stayed there. For the nice accommodations the price was quite low ($65/night). Lucas House is very close to Deer Lake Airport; but it is also about a one hour drive to get into the heart of Gros Morne National Park. Lucas House was a good place to stay for day trips and for travellers passing by the TCH but for longer stays at Gros Morne it would probably be better to pay a bit more to stay inside the park.
