About

This park is locally known as Big Falls and is a great spot to view Atlantic Salmon as they jump the falls heading upstream. Sir Richard Squires Memorial Park was established in 1954 as the first provincial park in Newfoundland and Labrador. The park opened to the public in July 1959.

Is Sir Richard Squires Memorial Provincial Park fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
