Plan your visit

Some Parks Canada places have begun a safe, gradual reopening of some outdoor areas and services, including camping. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and be well-prepared for their visit. Details here.

Located only a one-hour drive from St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador, or a five-minute drive from the Marine Atlantic Ferry Terminal at Argentia, Castle Hill National Historic Site is easily accessed by vehicle. Plan to spend two to three hours on site.
