Ferry reservation to Newfoundland
We are traveling to Newfoundland mid- June. How far in advance should we make ferry reservation from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland ?

Newfoundland has a provincial park system. To reduce operating cost, the campground portion of these parks has been sold off to private organizations to run. These private companies want a steady income, so they rent the majority of the sites to seasonal users for a flat yearly fee.
For example, a campground where we have a seasonal site has a out 160 sites. There are only 6 designated for people traveling. There are, however, some people who take there RV's out for a few days making the actual number of sites available to people travelling up to around 10-15. Still not many out of the total of 160 sites.
Not all campgrounds are to this extreme, but I'm sure you get the idea. This is where pre-booking makes sense.
