Neighbourhood highlights

We are Gros Morne’s Best kept Secret

Welcome to Water’s Edge Gros Morne and home of the saltbox pods, a place where rugged coastal beauty meets small-town warmth, and the entire park is literally right at your doorstep.

Perched right on the edge of the Bonne Bay fjord, The Water's Edge campground, our oceanfront location, offers rare and direct access to the water. Watch whales, bald eagles, and lobster boats pass by from your cabin, with the sun rising over the hills and setting in pink across the bay. There’s no rough gravel road or long drive to get here, you’re already in the heart of it all.

We’re located in the peaceful fishing village of Shoal Brook next to Woody Point and at the foothills of the Tablelands. We are a tight-knit traditional community where locals wave hello and lobster fishermen haul traps right in front of our property. It’s authentic, relaxed, and filled with friendly faces and is the kind of place you’ll want to visit again. And, believe me we have people that come back every year.

But what makes this location truly unbeatable? Almost everything Gros Morne is famous for is just minutes away:
