We just came back (we went for the cool weather).
If you don't mind boondocking, you should be able to find spots along your way. We were in a 25 foot class c but we paid for campsites only 11 nights out of 40. We used those visitors centers on the TCH or the small regional ones (which were closed when we were there) but if you tuck in after they close or just before the moose hour you should be okay. On beaches, interpretive panels by the side of the road, picnic areas by side of the road. We didn't camp and most all of the places we overnighted didn't have signs (one or two might have). Any spot to just tide us over to travel time again in a.m.
If it isn't posted no camping, use it well!
Trout River in gros Morne had a nice little picnic info area that said, NO Camping. We weren't camping just stopping to get some shut eye. We stayed at trout pond until maybe 10 pm (still wasn't dark yet but we gave up waiting for dark) and moved over to the picnic area
at that time...waited 1/2 hour to see if anyone would bother us. They did not and it was quiet enough. The campground at trout river was VERY buggy and the road wasn't wide and there were low branches in some parts so we felt we didn't need to pay $25 for nothing.
