The best camping near Kitty Coleman Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Located on the outskirts of Courtenay, the community-run Kitty Coleman Provincial Park has gorgeous views of the Salish Sea and mainland mountains, plus opportunities for hiking and fishing. Popular with beachgoers, the small park also has a productive salmon stream and a long rocky beach where campers can spot seals, sea lions, and whales from shore. Camping is available in a group site and in 65 drive-in sites that offer basic amenities including pit toilets and running water. Kitty Coleman Provincial Park lies within the territory of the K'Ăłmoks First Nation.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Because it’s a community-run, Class C provincial park, Kitty Coleman doesn’t use the regular BC Parks reservation system. You can call the caretaker to check how many sites are currently available. They can hold a site for same-day arrival.
  2. Phone reservations are only taken for the group sites.
  3. The maximum length of stay at Kitty Coleman is 10 days.

When to go

Kitty Coleman Provincial Park is open for camping from April 16 through September 30. For the warmest weather, think about booking in July or August (though this will also be the busiest time in the park). 

Know before you go

  • The nearby communities of Courtenay and Comox offer a variety of museums, shops, and restaurants.
  • Additional camping is available at nearby Miracle Beach Provincial Park.
