Secluded and quiet

Only used day area but great walk on beach at low tide for clams. Steep entry to beach which is rocky. Campsites look okay, basic BC Prov sites

We've been going to this park for at least a dozen years. We didn't go in 2013 as we took the Inside Passage trip in its place. Very hard choice. The small park is on the salt water, and rocky beach with evergreen forest all the way to the water. A spectacular setting looking up the inlet. This park is first come, first served and not often full. We love the forest birds, like the swainson's thrush - a wonderful song. The ravens calls entertain us. A 5-minute walk to the Laughing Oyster restaurant for a relaxing lunch on their deck is wonderful, and sometimes live music drifts into the campground - we like it, but some might not. The Sliammon tribe were the hosts up till this year - not sure what happened, and who is doing it now (2013). Last year, a number of the tables needed work or replacement. They also used to sell firewood, but quit that in 2012. What with all the forests around, it was surprising that firewood sold in Lund, and at SunLund was so expensive for what was offered. We will probably take a propane fire pit in the future in case of no wood. We will be quite interested in staying there in July, 2014 and hope all is well. It is a great setting. There are two pit toilets in the CG, and another one in the woods above the government dock - handy if in site 13 and 14. There are few choices of camping around Lund. SunLund in Lund has hookups for RVs and showers; Dinner Rock is just before the turnoff to Okeover PP, but we never liked that (hilly, exposed to winds, and just felt it a little weird though we haven't stayed there).

A great place to camp, have a picnic, explore the beach and so much more. I appreciate the picnic tables and fire grill pits!

Mark Myles

Beautiful spot to drop in a couple of paddleboards. Sheltered from the winds and waves of the west coast. We had a curious little seal following us around providing us with some fun. Not a bad spot to unload. Only down side is that parking is back up the hill on Crowther Rd. Didn't check out any of the campsites or anything else, just went for a paddle in Okeover Arm.

Lots of oysters, not a sandy beach. Gooey and rocky but great if you're hunting for shellfish. Lovely campsite that fits trailers and marina with boat launch is available. Fisheries monitors the area. There's a busy little oyster bar nearby down the street and judging by this beach, it can't get fresher.

craig higgins

Super easy. Great spots and wasnt busy at all in September. Stayed here one night before setting off on a tour of DS. Washrooms we're clean. There is a nice restaurant within walking distance but we were surprised to find it was somewhat "fancy" so don't be alarmed when u walk in all campy grimey and everyone is dressed up. We were. ???? That being said it was rocking busy because of the Thursday night buffet. Food was great but again not the "sailor pub food" we were expecting based on it's location. Enjoy.

Love it. Beutiful location to have a picknick or camp out

Defergy

A small beach park, perfect for oysters. Small campground, and some trails. Beach is almost entirely rocky.

Jenny Tough

Beautiful!

Nigel McCreary

Gateway to Desolation. Beautiful smaller campground near the boat launch and government docks. Very quiet setting and only a short drive from the 101

Lori Sargent

Cedars landscaped the ocean view that was unparalleled. What a beautiful way to greet the dawn!

Sharon Ellis

The Laughing Oyster Restaurant's view is Okeover Arm. The view and food are awesome. Service is impeccable, warm & friendly. If visiting Powell River then this is a place to see.

Sandra López

I'm speechless

Maninder Singh

Beautiful place with dozens of snakes

Josh A

Perfect peaceful and quiet place for a getaway.

Michael

An AWESOME point to launch a motor boat, canoe or kayak in Desolation Sound. In Super Natural B.C. Created by GOD ALMIGHTY ????????????...

Jeanne L.

There are not many camping spots. But if you land one, it's a fantastic campground. It's very close to lake access. Definitely wear water shoes when you get there. The sunset is absolutely spectacular! It is also walking distance to Laughing Oysters. Must visit - the seafood is absolutely fantastic!

Sean Patrick Hagen

Fantastic camp site

Eliab Roman

Red tide made it less exciting .

Small out of the way campground. Can be very quiet especially at night. Beach area is fairly rocky.

This year we went to the campground on July 30, 2021. Our family and friends shared 3 campsites. On the morning of July 31, 2021 while we were eating breakfast, a ranger J. McGuirness came up to our campsite and gave us 3 violation tickets for the act of Section 8(2). ***Disturbance prohibited 8 (1)A person must not create or cause a deliberate or unnecessary disturbance in a park, conservancy or recreation area. (2)Except as authorized by a park officer, a person must not, between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. the following day, operate or permit another person to operate any device that produces sound at a level which disturbs the peace and quiet of (a)an occupant of another campsite, or (b)persons in the park, conservancy or recreation area. ***Then, the ranger gave us an eviction notice and told us "If you don't leave in 2 hours, we will call the RCMP." Firstly, the music was turned completely off when our neighbor asked us to turn it down at 9:48 pm to be exact. Our talking and laughter was kept to a minimum, and to be honest, the neighbor's snoring was much louder than our talking. Secondly, NO WARNING AT ALL was ever given to any of us about noise or anything that night or the morning after. From my experience, the other campsites I've been to have had rangers come up to the campsite to give warnings if we were too loud past quiet time. Thirdly, they didn't even ask us if we were loud or if we had music on or what were doing and at what time. They never questioned whatever was told to them from neighbors or whoever reported something. The ranger just walked away after saying this line "You have 2 hours to leave or we'll call the RCMP. Have a good day." How insane is that?! How do you not get frustrated at that after travelling an entire day from Vancouver to Powell River? We are respectful human beings with common sense. If someone asks us to turn the music down, we'll turn it down. If we are given a warning about noise, we would listen..OBVIOUSLY!! We travelled over 5 hours just to get to that campsite, why would we set up ourselves to get evicted?! I ask Okeover to please go over your procedures and campground policies with your rangers. This just doesn't seem fair that no warnings were given and no communication was delivered to us at all. We were accused and evicted, never ever listened to or considered.

Perfect for kayaking, sailing or just chill somewhere ... ????

Heaven of oysters

Seb Laufer

What a lovely little beach. You can see the inlet and barely see desolation sound! There are a lot of barnacles so bring some sort of beach shoe. Saw a couple black birds, that w was nice. Would highly recommend! Parking is 4 minute walk from beach. Did not see any handi-accessable way to beach but there was a pier!

Rod McLean

Captures your curiosity of the past of P.R.

Stephan S

It's amazing

Helen Stopps

Small but nice. A good place to launch your canoe, kayak or paddleboard. Hard to find anywhere close to stop once you are on the water though! Lots of private property to avoid. Seals were having fun fishing at the mussle farms along the water. We found a dead starfish on the shore of the place we stopped for lunch.

DAVE DUNCAN

Great launch ramp, but no water to rinse the trailer brakes

Denis Heinrichs

A beautiful location, but really the main reason for going here is to go to the Laughing Oyster restaurant. It had amazing food at not cheap, but not Vancouver prices .

LouiLou Hoskyn

Great view and there is a cute campground there

Danielle

Nice campsite on the waterfront.

Erick boucher

Great place to launch your boat from.

PS

Plenty of camping sites!. Be aware of bears. Beautiful views. Lots of activities. Accessible by public transit. Best in summer.

Sean Choi

Nice place to pick up clams and oysters!!

Suzanne Van't Haaff

First time here. It looks like a nice campground. Some nice sites. Beach is very rocky, it is hard to walk
