I can't remember what the holiday is and when it would be GOOD TO GO? What date can I head Northeast and be pretty sure of finding places to camp? Thank you for your answers in advance.

The tourist season hadn't really started yet. No problem getting a site each night without reservations. Weather was still cool. We had a great time. 2003 Winnebago Minnie 24F - Ford E-450 Burwoods • View posts Outside Toronto, Canada Senior Member Joined: 08/08/2010 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/05/12 05:38pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator May 19th 2012, our long weekend Victoria Day, is when just about all the campgrounds open. Will be cool, unless this winter continues as it is going, could be warmer then some southern States....lol.

Green Point campground in Gros Morne National Park is officially open all year round. &, of course, there are private cgs. &, also, The PITs & I, I took the road less travelled by.

Never had a problem with campsites AND we saw tons of ice bergs. General rule of thumb is the earlier you go the more likely to see bergs. Diann P.S. I believe 2007 was a record years for icebergs; we saw them into July.

IIRC the icebergs were still coming down in August. Little Kopit • View posts TheMaritimes.ca Senior Member Joined: 12/23/2003 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/06/12 09:32am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Another thought, the ice report from Environment Canada: http://ice-glaces.ec.gc.ca/prods/GULF003/20111201000000_GULF003_0006157439.pdf Summary: above normal temperatures. Or when the ice is cleared out the air in all of Atlantic Canada (NB, NS, PEI & NL) warms up too. & I am not used to having Canada geese winter in waters not too far from where I live. This is tidal water bordering on Northumberland Strait between Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & PEI. robanddi • View posts Burton TX USA Senior Member Joined: 08/11/2003 View Profile Posted: 02/06/12 04:23pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Little Kopit, I know the crossing date is right (I had checked my logs). I don't know when the bergs disappeared BUT the last one we saw was July 4th at Witless Bay. The remainder of July (until we crossed to NS on 27th) was spent in the interior and on the southern coast.
