Well serviced camp site with a 2km road leading to this beautiful beach, with Cape Ray lighthouse off in the distance.

Beautiful place. We live in PAB and were looking for a place to ride our mountain bikes one morning; came here. There are two trails on which we can use our bikes - the Newfoundland T’Railway (old rail road tracks) or the path to the small waterfall. Recommend it the weather is nice!

To be fair — I got here in the middle of the night and wanted to see see prior to boarding my NL to NS ferry. —- but, the roads were horrendous, and it appears most of the park is meant to be a camp ground. I didn’t get a chance to see the beach, but I was told it’s beautiful. It was too windy and dark that night to enjoy the beach, though I did drive the treacherous 15 minutes to maybeeee see it. I would detour again during day light hours to maybeee see the fabled beach. And I love the name. Ha. Cheeseman.

Awesome Park. Very clean with great trails and an awesome sandy beach.

Sara “HotForTeacher” Osmond

Quiet, beautiful place. Nice sites. Power available on some sites. No water or sewage on site but water and dumping station available in the park. Lovely beach only minutes away. Awesome plants to be seen on the walking trail. Natural swimming locations with clean running water and picturesque waterfalls.

Derek Anderson

always our 1st and last stop on "The Rock"

Amazing beach with soft sand, in a beautiful cove. Working lighthouse in the distance. Free hot showers. Our site had lots of space and lots of trees.

Close to the ferry. Terrible road going in to park. Clean. Sites are small.

Gary Pearston

Beautiful long sandy beach with sand dunes.

EastCoastATV

Beautiful scenery. If you're in the Port Aux Basques area drop in to see this place.

Bradford Fenton

Excellent location for astrophotography and star gazing. Be careful with GPS after dark

Russell Ford

Very nice. Convenient camping before/after ferry. It was a little buggy on one of our stays but not terrible the other. The beach is so peaceful! Will stay there again the next time we visit Newfoundland.

Robert White

We nearly got carried away by the flies but besides that, everything was great. The campsites and comfort stations were well maintained. I'm sure I'll end up staying here again in the future.

Clean, well kept and perfect for short stop. Unfortunately no services but electricity.

(Translated) No drinking water on the ground. The places indicated drinking water but there were notes that the water had to be boiled (Original) Pas d'eau potable sur le terrain. Les endroits indiquaient eau potable mais il y avait des notes que l'eau devait être bouilli

Starboard Side

Cheesemans is a gorgeous and well kept Provincial Park. It has beautiful campsites, both serviced and unserviced, white sand beaches, waterfalls to wash the salt water off and well maintained trails.

Doug Swallow

Power only. Clean bathrooms, showers. No laundry. Little or no cell, no wifi.

PAUL L.

Nice tent sites; wooded and private; Beautiful soft-sand beach.

Stephen Frankovitch

Friendly staff, probably one of the cleanest washrooms I've seen camping.

Gerald Duhart

Nice place to walk during the winter time

Bill Mracek

Nice camping spots. Great ocean beaches and some nice trails. Wash facilities are extremely clean. Stayed twice and would include it in any future visit to nfld.

Collin Dares

Great campground and park with nice beach. Perfect rest stop before and after the ferry.

Martine Mongrain

(Translated) Very nice beach (Original) Très belle plage

Susan Crocker

Nice private campsites and friendly staff. We would definitely camp here again.

Betony Morrison

Amazing beach!! Was there at high tide and had so much fun floating out in the fresh water stream out to the salt!

GWoo

Great spot to transfer on and off from ferry to North Sydney. Excellent beach a few miles for the campground, well worth seeing. As with all Newfoundland and Labrador Parks a very clean facility.

Velda Tapp

Peaceful

Barb Ruggeberg

This is a beautiful park with a fabulous beach. We stayed at site 14 which is right next to a waterfall. The beach is a 5 minute drive away, but worth it. Port aux Basques is a great little town and while you are there, you should check out the Butterfly new and used book store. It is carefully curated and they know where everything is. I wish we could have stayed here longer, but sadly we(like everyone else) were just passing through.

Gordon Muscroft

Nice provincial park. Clean washrooms. Beautiful beach.

Crystal Callahan

Absolutely beautiful ????

Derrick Jamieson

Great place to camp. Love the beach and it's proximity to Codroy Valley and Port aux Basque.

(Translated) Beautiful little park with a beautiful beach. Perfect for a first night when arriving from the ferry. (Original) Beau petit parc avec une belle plage. Parfait pour une première nuit en arrivant du traversier.

Angela Alexander

This is a beautiful park. Was impressed with the camp sites too. And there's a beach walking distance from the park. Definitely going again.

Ron Rowe

Water unsafe to drink..road into campground disgusting. ..was told it was serviced but only had electricity... and worst was told my 40 ft trailer would fit. ..not a chance even in their so called open field...was not impressed.. after planning for 3 years not impressed with newfoundland provincial parks. .

Tobi McCarthy

Beautiful beach!

Scott Ka

Great beaches and scenary. Amazing!

Darwyn Sproule

Nice park / location. We found the gate staff could use a little enthusiasm and a lesson on customer service. And there was someone on the site we reserved when we arrived. It didn't seem to matter that we booked a month in advance. The boil water advisory on all drinking water is inconvenient too.

Becca LeRiche

Beautiful well maintained campground. Gorgeous walking trails, and one of the biggest and best soft sandy beaches on the Southwest Coast.

Gerry Sheppard

Very clean quiet park with lots of amenities for the kids.

Courtney Carver

Could do with better wifi and a laundry facilities.

kim skinner

The falls are incredible and even though they don't recommend swimming cause of the tides the beach is like a piece of heaven

Stevie Ramone

nice staff. great for overnight and there is a waterfall of root beer off the picnic area
