Gosling Lake Campground is situated on 14 hectares (34.6 acres) of land that was formally the site of another park – Gosling Park, which was developed in 1971. The previous park was built in partnership with a local community and volunteer organization. Starting in 1983, the volunteer organization hosted the annual Labrador Canoe Regatta each year at the location. Outside of the three days a year that the park was operated for the regatta, the volunteer organization did not operate the park. In recent years, volunteer support decreased, and the park eventually stopped operating.
