what to expect

Loveland Bay Park is located near Campbell River on central Vancouver Island and offers a quiet area for camping, swimming and fishing. This small and rustic park provides a boat launch onto Campbell Lake. Loveland Bay is a convenient base camp for day tripping to attractions in the nearby communities of Campbell River, Gold River, Sayward, Kelsey Bay as well as Quadra and Cortes Islands. If you don’t want to leave Loveland Bay’s peaceful setting, you can spend the day relaxing at the lake, waterskiing, fishing, canoeing or kayaking.
