Description

Situated on the most southerly fjord in North America, Porteau Cove Provincial Park features waterfront campsites with a view over Howe Sound to the mountains beyond. An old ship has been sunk to provide interest for scuba divers and to attract marine life. There are special facilities for divers. Adjacent train tracks are active and occasional noise disturbance may occur. This park offers forty-four (44) vehicle accessible campsites, 5 of which are double sites and 2 are pull-through sites. There are also walk-in campsites. Each site has 30 amp electric hookups. There are pit and flush toilets located in the campground. A sani-station/dump is available in this park all year, although, due to freezing, the water may be shut off during low season. There is a shower building located in the campground that provides hot water and electrical outlets for hair dryers, razors etc. Cold water taps are located in both the day-use and campground areas. This park is open year-round and is usually full during good weather. Campsite reservations are required for all campsites in this park from March 24 to October 9. All campsite reservations must be made through Discover Camping. When reservations are not available all campsites function as first come, first served. Due to popularity and size of the campground, BC Parks has implemented a maximum stay policy of 7 nights in the peak season in this park (June 15 to Labour Day, inclusive). 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.
