Drinking water

There is one drinking water well and hand pump in the park, located in the campground.

Boat launch

A boat launch for small boats only is located in the middle of the park. A small wharf on the lake also provides tie-up facilities. Many boating opportunities are accessible from Loveland Bay on Lower Campbell Lake.

  • There is no reserving or holding of moorage space when vessels are not tied to the dock.
  • Boaters are advised that dock space is limited and intended to be available to all registered campers.
Campfires

While fires are allowed, we encourage visitors to conserve the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using stoves instead. Campfire rings are provided at each campsite, and at the group campsites. Firewood can be purchased from the Park Operator. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act ). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil. You can conserve firewood and air quality by keeping your campfire small. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. Be prepared to bring a portable stove for cooking.

Swimming

There is no designated swimming area at this park; however, the Lower Campbell Lake offers opportunities for swimming. There are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks.

Canoeing

There are opportunities for canoeing and kayaking at this park on Campbell Lake. Paddlers can set in from their campsite or from a boat launch located in the middle of the campground.

Fishing

Lower Campbell Lake offers good opportunities for trout fishing. Fishing is permitted as per provincial and federal fishing regulations. All anglers should check the current regulations issued by Fisheries and Oceans Canada prior to fishing. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.

Pets on leash

Pets/domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.

Cycling

Bicycles must keep to roadways. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.

Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails within Loveland Bay Provincial Park. E-bikes are restricted to park roads and areas where motorized use is permitted. The only exception to this policy will be for authorized and identified trail maintenance bikes conducting work on behalf of BC Parks.
