There are three major provincial campgrounds
located along the Sunshine Coast.
Two of them are on the southern portion of the Sunshine Coast. Roberts
Creek Provincial Park has vehicle/tent sites and straddles Hwy
101 about 14 km west of Gibsons.
Porpoise Bay Provincial Park has vehicle/tent sites, including double
units, located 4 km north of Sechelt
on East Porpoise Bay Road. In addition to the vehicle/tent sites there
are also bike-in sites for those who are cycle-touring the region.
Saltery Bay Provincial Park has vehicle/tent
sites, including double units, and sits beside the BC Ferries' Saltery
Bay terminal on Jervis Inlet south of Powell
River. Although Roberts Creek and Porpoise Bay fill up quickly
in summer months, you'll stand a much better chance of squeezing into
Saltery Bay Provincial Park, owing to its more remote location, which
requires an additional ferry ride from Earls
Cove. To guarantee a campsite, you can make reservations at both
Porpoise Bay and Saltery Bay Provincial Parks.
In addition to these three major provincial parks, there's also camping
at Smuggler Cove Marine Provincial Park.
Located about 15 km northwest of Sechelt, this small, sheltered marine
park with walk-in campsites serves as a jumping-off point for paddlers
wishing to explore several offshore islands in what is arguably the
most scenic location on the Sunshine Coast.
Okeover Arm Provincial Park, near Lund
on the northern Sunshine Coast, is another small campground frequented
by paddlers. This park is the choice of those intent on exploring
Desolation Sound. Except
in the busiest summer months, you'll probably have your pick of any
of the vehicle/tent sites and adjacent walk-in sites in the forest
beside Okeover Arm, a long neck of water along the east side of Malaspina
Peninsula, 5 km south of Lund.
There's a federal dock and boat ramp here and, unlike in Lund, plenty
of parking should you be heading out for an extended paddle. The park
lies 5 km east of Hwy 101, on Malaspina Road.
There are more Forest Service recreation sites concentrated around
Powell River on the northern Sunshine Coast than in almost any other
similar-sized area in British Columbia. This is a testament not only
to the dozens of lakes surrounding the town but also to the amount
of logging that has taken place here for the past 70 years. Where
there is logging, there are Forest Service recreation sites. Much
of the forest is still in recovery, particularly at higher elevations,
but where industry first cleared the easiest-to-reach trees, the second
growth is beginning to re-establish itself.
One of the best sites includes Dinner Rock. The entrance to
the site is on the west side of Hwy 101, four kilometres south of
Lund. Drive slowly as you approach Lund, and watch for the sturdy
wooden campground sign at the entrance to a dirt road that leads 1
km downhill to a dozen beautifully positioned sites. With plenty of
firewood, freshwater, and a car top boat launch, this is where you
want to be when a full moon lights up Malaspina Strait, and shooting
stars strafe the night sky.
Along forest roads east of Powell River, you'll find more good camping
at Forest Service sites at Inland Lake, including award-winning cabins
designed for people with disabilities. South of Powell River there's
camping at Lois Lake, at the start of the Powell
Forest Canoe Route, at Khartoum Lake, also on the canoe
route, as well as at Nanton Lake and at Dodd Lake ,
both located on the Wellwood Mainline Forest Rd.
Other public campsites along the Sunshine Coast include Katherine
Lake Regional Park near Garden
Bay and Irvines Landing,
and Haywire Bay Regional Campground near Powell River. |
