This little park located not far from Gibson's is quite nice. There is a well maintained dock for boat access and you can pay to stay the night on. The beach is a mix of sand and stone with clear clean water. There are what seems to be a sufficient amount of well maintained camp sites around the park as well as some lovely trails to hike into the island. A grassy orchard with some picnic tables borders the beach for a nice place for a meal. Access to the island is by passenger ferry, boat, or kayak. The area seems well sheltered from the wind making it a nice place to tuck into when the straight is blowing.
so natural and clean. if staying camping 16 ca 4 people 1 night. Taxi trains go and return 160 ca. for 6 people.
Great little park and well upkept. Has several mooring balls and dock and slip space on first come first serve. Slip and dock have room for about 11 to 12 boats, plus 8 mooring balls. Lots of different hiking trails from the main park that weave over the island. For the most part they are well marked and well traveled. Good shelter provided in the bay, but fills up in the evening quickly. Well maintained pit toilets and a well with hand pump for water. It does state that water needs to be boiled.
Nice park for easy walks with great viewpoints and marine-related activities; even a few geocaches to find. If you boat over which we believe most people do, the buoys make for an inexpensive $12 and quiet night; they are spaced apart for boats up to 40' long. Obviously you'll need a dinghy or kayak to get to the dock and use the facilities if your boat isn't equipped. If you can't find an unoccupied buoy they go fast around weekends - especially long weekends and there's only 8 of them, then you can tie up to the dock $2 per foot or anchor in the bay which has good holding South of the buoys. There are also designated overnight camping spots which can be reserved online. The bay is close enough to Gibsons that if you need supplies it's a quick and easy trip in the dinghy.
Beautiful spot, I love that the old orchard is still there and produces plenty of apples. Two beaches and two beautiful views. Nice looking sign and an old water pump.
Although there aren't many mooring spots on the dock and you get rocked by any tiny boat going by, it's still a great little spot. We explored by boat, kayak and on foot. In the evening, thrre's a gorgeous view across to Gibsons. The campground is really tidy and well looked after. The trails are awesome as many previous posts have mentioned. Great job BC Parks staff! Too bad "somebody" BC Government keeps expecting our Parks staff to do more with less and less. We noticed the same thing in other Gulf Islands parks this summer. Like Hornby Island. Loved Plumper. Will definitely return.
Great spot near Vancouver. Gets bumpy during the day but calm at night. Better take your spot after lunch. Moorage for cash only.
Beautiful place. Calm water. Nice park with docks, mooring buoys and camp sites. Reasonable rates.
Beautiful camp ground and park, the beach and dock are lovely! Would definitely recommend checking this amazing spot out.
Great getaway for sailors and power boaters alike. Mooring balls, and dock space available. Bring a tent if camping on land is your preference.
