what to expect
For a more intimate camping experience visit Loveland Bay, a small, rustic provincial park that provides camping and boat launching directly onto Campbell Lake. Loveland Bay is a convenient base camp for day tripping to attractions in the nearby communities of Campbell River, Gold River, Sayward, Kelsey Bay and Quadra and Cortes Islands. If you don't want to leave Loveland Bay's peaceful setting, you can spend the day water-skiing, fishing, canoeing or kayaking. Or just relax and work on your tan in between dips in the sun-kissed lake. Loveland Bay Provincial Park is located near Campbell River on central Vancouver Island and offers a quiet area for camping, swimming and fishing.
