This is our last stop for 3 nights before we catch the ferry to Newfoundland. For info, the word Labrador comes from a Portuguese explorer named Joao Fernandes “Lavrador”. (Labrador meaning landowner or farmer) He explored this region around 1500 eventually naming the land Labrador, as well as giving the name Labrador to a popular dog breed.
We are now a 6 km drive from where we are in Labrador to Blanc Sablon, Quebec where we will catch our ferry.
We stayed at Northern Lights campground (campground is a term I would use loosely in this instance) located in L’Anse au Clair, (population around 220). We did drive to another campground and also to a Municipal campground. These aren’t campgrounds like what one would think are campgrounds but they will do !
Our trailer and site 
The empty site next to us, we were in a parking lot basically but they did have showers! 
Jungle Jim’s restaurant and bar, right across the road from our campground

Road to a municipal campground, again, let’s use that term loosely 
Campground?

I love these old boats left in the wildflowers and long grass 
Scenery
We did a lot of driving and touring around while here it did rain a lot and it was chilly. We went to Vieux-Fort and Riviere Saint Paul one afternoon. Here some photos of those areas.
St Christoper’s Church

Part of the Jersey Trail, we walked a bit of this trail as it wasn’t quite as buggy by the windy water
Almost done in Labrador! Next post we drive to another Basque Whaling site in Middle Bay……….
Trums Travels 
The scenery here is nice, those rolling waves especially in the one photo and the rapids/waterfall. They have a lot of large rocks I have noticed. The first campground … well at least they had a privacy fence and a picnic table as amenities too. 🙂
