Burnt Beach Recreation Site

only one here for a couple nights in fall 2018. absolutely beautiful spot. glass surface on the lake, quiet, peaceful, clean. not a terrible distance to campbell river. on the second day i checked out a few of the nearby spots out of curiosity, but they were all much busier. some great hiking in the area too! look forward to coming back.

On Campbell Lake, this provincial rec site campground is poised alongside a protected bay on the north side of the lake. At the bottom of the hill to the right is a deep site with water view but no access. To the left are two clusters of sites that can accommodate one or two rigs with water view and access. The campground road dead ends at a single, narrow site with its own private beach and beautiful lake views. Water was clear and not too cold for swimming if you are tough. Ha!

There is a parking area just before the end of the road but not big enough to turn around while towing. We backed our 17’ travel trailer down to the end site as we were planning to stay awhile. However, this was not an easy feat – scope this out carefully for yourself before attempting this as we were barely able to turn the rig around using a multi point turn in one of the cluster sites. Leveling up was tricky as well and we needed all our blocks, levellers and chocks to pull it off.

Some cell signal comes across the lake but we needed a cell booster to access it. Signal was in and out during rainy weather but we could get 4G signal at times on Bell Canada and AT&T.

Easy 25 minute drive to town past Loveland Bay Provincial Park, across the John Hart Dam and past Elk Falls Provincial Park Day Use area where you can hike to the famous Elk Falls Suspension Bridge.
