This is St. John’s best kept secret, the owner and staff cannot do enough for you, the wifi is excellent, the washrooms are immaculate, the showers are clean and warm, they offer free laundry ( 2 washers and 2 dryers ) for free just bring your own detergent. If you need anything they will try to accommodate. This is right in the city, but you would never knows it there, it’s in a valley where you hardly hear the city. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
Good location for day trips. Free showers, laundry, and tank pump out. Basic gravel pad with a few trees. Borders a small river and the rail trail. Staff were wonderful.
Don't let the busy commercial area fool you. It's quiet and peaceful once you dip down the easily navigable hill into the valley. The property backs up to the spectacular Trailway, a flat, wide walkway where the rail used to run. These folks are accommodating, converting back ins to pull thrus as needed, sending a service out to pump your septic every few days (included in the price) as well as free laundry machines. The bathrooms/showers are single, spacious and clean. There are big double trash bins at each site. Ben was helpful with our set up, going out of his way to consult on leveling.
Stayed at the campground for 4 nights. We couldn’t get over how clean the bathrooms with showers were and they offer free laundry too! There is a nice walking trail within the campground that you can walk or bike on. Very friendly staff and very accommodating and the best wifi coverage we have experienced while touring the province with our travel trailer.
This clean and wooded location has level sites, fantastic drainage, easy to access dumping station, and pull-throughs. It is a little slice of nature in the heart of Mount Pearl on the western edge of St.John's. The park connects with a city multi-use rail trail. The staff are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Five stars!
