Opened in 2015, Shingle Bay is Gulf Islands National Park Reserve’s newest camping destination!
Backcountry campgrounds are accessible year round but are not regularly maintained from October 1 – May 14. Visitors may use them at their own risk. Book online at https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/voyage-travel/reserve or by phone at 1-877-737-3783.
Situated just a few minutes south of the Otter Bay BC Ferry terminal on North Pender Island, this spectacular waterfront location includes ten back country campsites with breathtaking views of Captain Passage and nearby islets.
The sheltered bay along with its fine gravel beach is ideal for accessing the site by kayak.
A small parking area is available from Shingle Bay Road with a short (but steep) .24 km trail access to the campsites. Visitors can also easily enjoy the picturesque Roe Lake loop trail, a mere 10 minute jaunt from the parking area.
