The farthest east wild camping place. Quiet at the end of the dirt road. Nice footpath in the tundra next to it.

Latest Check-Ins
Cool place for overnight, we saw one Iceberg in the distance, the view is amazing.
Report Check-InVery nice as described above.
My Garmin GPS initially took me on road by airport, which has a gated mining exploration unit just past airport. Go a bit further and you will see a sharp right (almost a u-turn).
If you were to go all the way to the end of road there is a nice turn around with benches and a gazebo, but probably won’t see as many icebergs there.
Report Check-Inrough, steep gravel road to access. looks like ruins of an old radar station according to a historical plaque. Great views, spotted two icebergs in the distance. Enough space to park a couple of class B or small class Cs . Good gor a night, views are worth the drive in.
Report Check-InPer previous review, take left onto American Hill Rd. The road is steep and looked daunting at the bottom with washout, ruts and potholes but our front wheel drive Promaster didn’t have a problem…we just had to pick our driving path carefully. The road goes on for a while and passes by a dump (which is really trashy looking) but the road ends at a trail head and the remains of the US Airforce early warning radar station. It is also where the sign noting you’ve just driven the furthest east you can on continental North America. We parked on an old concrete foundation and had a level spot. The spot will probably hold two vans max. Would not advise for anything larger than a van. A few locals did drive by either out of curiosity or to ride on their ATV’s.
There is a memorial site for the construction of the radar station which offers great views to the ocean where we saw several large icebergs. There are also some hiking trails but we did not attempt since our early wake up call was from a black bear attempting to climb the hood of our van. Overall, we felt safe and this was one of our more interesting and unique overnight stops.
Steep uphill but worth it. Lot of trash and dumpplace right next to it but on the top of the hill good for one night. Big antenna there but nice few.
Report Check-InThe farthest East you can drive in North America, Canada! And just a siick place to camp. The drive up is a bit treacherous (steep, gravel-y and pot-hole-y) but doable in a van. There’s a flat space to park and there are no people. Very quiet and secluded and just sounds of water around you. It seems to be some sort of transmission or signalling station. There are structures all around. But not a lot of traffic in general. When foggy you can’t see much but I’m glad I stopped none the less.
Report Check-InHad a van...road no problem. Take American Hill Rd up to spot. Crazy rain and wind, but saw icebergs on way down.Boardwalks all over . Would have been amazing if weather cooperated.
Report Check-Ineverything here: whales, icebergs (in the distance), nice view, walking trail (sometimes not very well maintained), a bear visiting...
Report Check-Innice place as described, landfill is 300mt away, so take the Bear Warnings serious, don't walk around after sunset!
otherway perfect, not many mosquitoes because of the harsh winds.
Very steep, rough track.
We left our 5th wheel on the highway and did a day trip. Glad we did.
You wouldn't make the first sharp bend at the bottom of the track with a tow behind never mind turn round at the top.
Condition I saw the track in, Id say 4wd or short wheel base Van, VWt5 or similar.
Totally worth the trip to the top though. We saw far more and far more impressive icebergs than in Twillingate and theres a beautiful hike down the other side to the lake.
Best free spot i saw was about 5km down the St Lewis Rd from the highway on the left. Big quiet pull out.

parking at the end of a dirt road (steep and rough, but we made it in a 22feet class c rv) on top of a hill in st. lewis. there is some dirt (oil cans and stuff like this), but you have a nice view over the iceberg alley, we saw 7 icebergs in mid july. nice walking trail. trash bin at site but it doesn't seem to be maintained. there is a plaque that says, it is as far east as you can drive on the american continent.
Report Check-InLe spot dodo le plus à l'est du continent, d'après la pancarte. Tranquille au bout de la piste. Joli sentier dans la toundra juste à côté.
The farthest east wild camping place. Quiet at the end of the dirt road. Nice footpath in the tundra next to it.
