The House That Crossed the Ice“Jenniex House at the Norris Point lookout has travelled more than most houses. Built in Neddies Harbour in nineteen twenty-six, it was hauled over winter ice by horses to Norris Point in nineteen thirty-eight.”

Guide
Gros Morne / Norris Point KOA Holiday is a private, summer-season campground on Route 430 near Rocky Harbour. It has 101 sites for RVs and tents, plus eight Kamping Cabins, two Deluxe cabins and four geodesic domes, in a wooded valley beside a small lake. It works well as an overnight base for the northern side of Gros Morne; the Moose Path along the shore adds a short walk without driving to a trailhead.
The feel changes by section: the wooded back-ins are roomier and more private than the front full-hookup pull-throughs. Large rigs may find the wooded areas trickier to manoeuvre, so check the site layout before booking. There’s a Kamping Kitchen and pavilion, plus laundry, Wi-Fi and a convenience store. Guests also often mention clean washrooms and helpful staff.
This is a paid, seasonal campground. Public day-use access wasn’t verified, so plan it as an overnight stay rather than a casual stop. From Deer Lake, follow the Viking Trail (Route 430) about 65 km, then turn onto Norris Point Access Road and go 1.5 km past the Gros Morne Information Centre. Amenities listed for the stay include drinking water, toilets and showers, hookups and a dump station. No meal service was confirmed, so bring food or plan a separate meal.
