Howdy!
We booked our ferry crossing before leaving Maine and traveling up to Nova Scotia. Some will advised when booking to unhook your toad and book separate as it will be cheaper. That couple extra plus feet adds up. We had planned on staying in Newfoundland for two months to get our monies worth out of the cost of the ferry. We like it so mouth we extended our time to over three months. We found out Newfoundland is not like Alaska, not many places to boondocks there especially for some folks our size (MDT with 44' 5er). We did find most campgrounds will accommodate your size. We ran into problems getting into campgrounds as they were booked up especially on weekends and full of long term camper that leave their RV's parked. There are a few Walmarts and we made us of them, when asked they stated we could stated as long as we liked. One of the best boondocking places we found was at Stephenville which has and old US deactivated military Air Force base. We found nice boondocking on the shores right on the water their. We drove almost every hard surface road and some of the gravel roads exploring Newfoundland and found that the small harbor towns are some of the greatest and the people are friendly. Enjoy you trip.
