Notable Campgrounds
- Best for nature lovers: The Granite Falls Campground at the head of the inlet lets you set up your tent at the edge of the falls.
- Best for solitude: The Berg’s Landing at Bishop Creek is a spacious stretch of shoreline with sublime views.
When to Go
Because of its proximity to Vancouver, Say Nuth Khaw Yum is popular year-round. Campers with good gear and strong boating skills can use the campsites at any time, though outside of the regular April to October season, it can become cold and stormy. For the best weather, think about visiting between mid-May and mid-September (though this will also be the busiest time).
Know Before You Go
- Marine-access campsites are not reservable and are free to use.
- Campfires are not permitted in this park.
- This is a rugged wilderness park. While it is close to urban settings, there are no services, and campers need to be self-sufficient.
- Kayaks, canoes, and other boats can be rented in the North Vancouver community of Deep Cove.
- Cultural canoe tours, for those who would like to know more about the Tsleil-Waututh people, are available through Takaya Tours.
Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park
Forests, waterfalls, and small islands await in this easily accessible fjord.
Cutting 12 miles (18 kilometres) into the Coastal Mountain Range, the waterway at Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park gives kayakers, canoeists, and other boaters the opportunity for up-close interactions with wildlife, including seals and seabirds, as well as access to campsites on small islands at the edge of waterfalls. Trails in the Buntzen Lake area also offer day hikes for a range of abilities but have no camping. Camping options consist of three boat-access-only backcountry sites with platforms and cleared areas for tents—no reservations or fees required. Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park (Indian Arm) is jointly managed by the province and the territory's hereditary owners, the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation, or People of the Inlet.
