The town
Discover Hampden, Newfoundland
Situated at the head of White Bay in Western Newfoundland, Hampden is surrounded by salt water, forested hills and rugged coastal scenery. Its peaceful setting is ideal for slowing down, enjoying the outdoors and experiencing life in a rural Newfoundland community.
Summer on White Bay
Summer brings long days, impressive views and opportunities to see icebergs, whales and other marine wildlife from the shoreline. Visitors can also enjoy photography, scenic drives, outdoor exploration and trips to neighbouring communities.
Away from the province’s busiest tourism destinations, the area offers space to explore the landscape at a relaxed pace.
A Winter Destination
In winter, deep snow transforms the surrounding countryside into a popular snowmobiling destination. Woods roads and backcountry routes provide access to remarkable scenery, with Western Brook Gorge being a favourite destination for riders.
After a day outdoors, guests can return to the warmth, space and convenience of a fully furnished house.
A Community Shaped by the Land
Forestry and logging have played an important role in the town’s history and remain part of its identity. The community retains the relaxed pace and welcoming atmosphere associated with rural Newfoundland.
Located approximately 20 kilometres from the Trans-Canada Highway, it is easy to include in a Western Newfoundland road trip while remaining comfortably removed from highway traffic and larger centres.
Whether you are planning a summer getaway, winter snowmobile trip, work stay or visit with family and friends, Hampden offers a peaceful home base surrounded by the natural beauty of White Bay.
