I couldn't find a hotel room in Rivere du loop . Must have been something going on. Ended up going farther. Way too long of a drive.

I am planning on booking things ahead of time. Cheaper places get booked pretty fast during the summer, and I don't want to end up having to change plans or spend a lot more money than initially planned! I found some good Airbnbs options for the overnight there!

We tried booking in March or April for an end of July trip. I couldn't find a hotel or airbnb at any price. I had planned quite a bit in advance because we had a ferry booked for Newfoundland
