Porteau Cove

About the Park

Only 45 minute drive north of Vancouver, enjoy the experience of ocean front camping at Porteau Cove. The day-use area offers picnic sites in a grassy area along the shore with gorgeous views of Howe Sound and Anvil Island. Porteau Cove is also accessible by water; a mooring float (with no shore access) is located at the south end of the park. Porteau Cove is a popular area for stargazing and scuba diving, with a man-made reef and 2 sunken vessels. Ice, firewood and concessionary items are available for sale at the gatehouse. Two beautiful, beachfront log cabins are available for rent. These fully furnished units sleep 4 and include a deck with BBQ, television and a kitchenette.
