Awesome Afternoon

Great tourist attraction with beautiful views of the ocean! The drive into the park was the highlight of our trip to Bonavista as we were able to see lots of cows and horses on the farmland!

Breathtaking View

Absolutely stunning view. A geological masterpiece! The drive out there is beautiful and you can even get up close and personal with the local horses. Well worth the drive out.

This stop is well worth it. The scenery is gorgeous, even in a chilly day. If you are visiting Bonavista, be sure to stop and enjoy.

Amazing coastline and an easy trek!
Sep 2019
Located just out of Bonavista village, on the way to the lighthouse, you will see a gravel road on your right for the Dungeon park.
You can drive it , about 2 kms, as we did.There is a nice rest/ lookout, with signage and area details. An easy lunch break and suggest you pack a sandwich...

If you are in the area worth the short drive to check out the view. Gravel road to get to it but not bad condition.

Not to be missed
Sep 2019 • Couples
The views of the dungeons and coastal surrounds are breathtakingly beautiful.
Pack a picnic. Park your car. Walk along the coat. Find an area with a view protected from the wind and settle into your picnic. You can feel the stress leave your body while you watch the waves on the shore and the sea birds soaring on the wind.

Very close to the town of Bonavista & Cape Lighthouse. Don’t miss the breathtaking cliffs & rock formations. Well worth the stop & photo opportunities.

Interesting Coastline

Impressive rock formation, not an attraction that takes a longtime to visit but well worth the drive. Great photos and easy to walk around

is there anywhere in or around the park to camp?

Camping is not permitted at Dungeon, but I believe you can camp at Elliston Municipal Park which is very close.

Is the park really closed on Sunday? Or is it just a visitor center that’s closed but park is still accessible? Thanks!

This area is always open. Drive through and view as it's self guided tours. Plus there is no parks closed in this area on Sundays. As a bonus Canada Day attractions are free at Ryan's Premises and Cape Bonavista Lighthouse and Mothbegger Plantation

Is there any way to get inside the "dungeon?" I'm a photography enthusiast and I'm planning a trip to Newfoundland for the stunning views. I'd really like to get a photo looking up from inside the "dungeon." I'd really like to know how feasible that is or if it's even allowed.

there is no access, and I am not sure this is permitted. if so, you will need some rock climbing gears and someone at top to help you.
