There are around 550 establishments in the province with a total of about 7300 rooms. Many towns offer hotel or bed & breakfast accommodation, although this is often seasonal. Most of the settlements in the province are on the coast rather than the wild interior (where some cabins and lodges are, however, available). As St John’s is now an ‘oil boom town’, accommodation there can be hard to come by, and advance reservations are recommended. For information on hotels and bed & breakfast accommodation, contact the Department of Tourism, Culture and Recreation (see Top Things To Do). Accommodation is graded according to the Canada Select Accommodations Grading Program from 5-star (deluxe) to 1-star (basic).

The wildness of the province offers superb camping facilities, both for motorhomes and tents. Both national parks (Gros Morne in western Newfoundland and Terra Nova in eastern Newfoundland), as well as 13 provincial and 56 private campgrounds, provide camping services. Facilities on campsites are basic rather than luxurious, the emphasis being on seclusion and privacy. Full details can be obtained from the Department of Tourism, Culture and Recreation (see Top Things To Do).
