Gerald’s property is a special gem ! Private, peaceful, and excellent amenities- very much enjoyed having a hot outdoor shower. Tenting beside the tranquil pond, listening to the frogs and breeze through the trees while falling asleep was very relaxing. Gerald is a very helpful host, he even provided a kayak so I could explore the pond ! My pup & I had a wonderful time on this property. Especially adorable is the co-host Daisy, who will enthusiastically greet guests upon arrival and help guide you down to your site 🐶

It was a great central location to camp while exploring the Campbell River / Comox area. Paul was super friendly and accommodating. The outhouse was clean and no too unpleasant to use. The site (we had no. 1) was a bit shady and basically a blackberry bramble, and close to the road so we had traffic noise throughout. Also we arrived past 9pm on our first night and because of the first come first serve structure, we didn’t have a reserved site. Someone had snuck onto the property and set up their tent so we had to camp in the field the first night. Paul refunded us so that felt fair. The site was missing a picnic table and we would have loved a shower but all in it was a nice stay. We loved the beach walk nearby at sunsets. Just awesome.

We loved camping at Poplar Grove! My husband and I stayed for 3 nights with our toddler and we all had a blast, from exploring the forest to seeing the beautiful sunflower field it was a very beautiful trip. We also particularly loved hearing the sheep baa'ing in the distance! Lisa was extremely accommodating and allowed us to check in an hour early when our GPS was inaccurate on our arrival time, she also lent us their propane firepit so we could still enjoy a fire while there was a fireban in the area. We will definitely be back next summer!

Weekend Trip to Field Sites & Secluded Tent Sites

Nice, private sites on a beautiful property. The pit toilet and dish sink were rustic, but well kept. We loved the 5-minute walk to Mattone, a delicious Italian restaurant on the water, as well as the beach and trail. We were really grateful that we landed here, as all the camgrounds in the area were booked. We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Field Sites & Secluded Tent Sites

Great spot for a simple, nature-focused trip. The campsite is a nice, open field with excellent signage and picnic table provided —ideal for those who don’t mind basic facilities in exchange for a quiet, scenic location. Close to town if you don't feel like camp cooking and want to go get dinner. A solid choice for easy camping.

3 nights at Field Sites & Secluded Tent Sites

Our stay at Paul's campground was great! We would love to come again! We stayed in #2 and #5. Ace and Boyd greeted us when we arrived and helped orient us to the sites. The absolute best feature was the night sky. We could see the Milky Way! We brought badminton rackets with light-up birdies and glowing LED frisbees to play on the field at night. We had lots of fun with friends and family! Thank you for hosting us!

Weekend Trip to Little Cedar’s Hideaway

Location: just off BC Hwy 4 near 4-4A intersection and Old Country Market (Goats on the Roof). Nothing fancy, just level, gravel pads with full hookups. (Water spigot is heated.) Could use as a staging point for day trips. No other campers on night we were there. Quiet; no shade, no privacy. To clarify, sites listed as 30 amp or 50 amp are those amperage’s only, no other sockets. Yes, I would stay here again as a backup to a park campground or when I need to empty tanks.

Great location, easy to find. And a bonus was the farmstand across the road selling hot homemade sourdough loaves on Sunday morning.

Sproat Lake Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

Sprout Lake Provincial Park’s lake, known as Kleh-koot, is a popular vacation spot for swimming, fishing, boating and windsurfing. A short walk on an easy lakeside trail takes you to K’ak’awin, one of the most notable panels of prehistoric petroglyphs in the province. The 64-site campground has water spigots and pit toilets, as well as a shower building, a sandy beach, and picnic areas. The park is located in the territory of the Hupacasath and Tseshaht First Nations.

Notable campgrounds

Best for tenting: Five tent-only sites are located in the lower campground in a quiet forested area near the lake.
Best for barrier-free camping: Wheelchair-accessible sites and facilities are located in the lower campground.
Best for families: The upper campground has larger spaces, more privacy, and a playground.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Reservations are recommended from mid-May to September and must be booked through the Discover Camping Reservation Service.
If you’re visiting weekends or holidays (Canada Day, BC Day, or Labour Day) you’ll want to secure a spot as far in advance of your trip as possible.
You may be able to score one of the limited numbers of first-come, first-served spots, especially mid-week, if you show up right at check-out time at 11am.
Year-round camping is available in the lower campground, though some facilities may not be available in the off-season.

When to go

Sprout Lake Provincial Park is open for camping year-round. If you’re looking for sunny weather, visit July through mid-September, although this is also the busy season due to the salmon sportfishing season often starting in July. Those seeking a quieter experience will find it less hectic on weekdays when schools are in session, during May, June, and September. The lake is warmest for swimming in August.

Know before you go

Groups looking for larger camping spaces can try nearby Taylor Arm Provincial Park.
Canoe and kayak rentals are available from local businesses, and there’s a boat launch and dock in the park.
Sproat Lake is just 13 kilometres from downtown Port Alberni, making the park a good base for local exploring and hiking.
Port Alberni is famous for its salmon fishing with anglers fishing for sockeye, coho, and Chinook. Robertson Creek Fish Hatchery is well worth a visit to learn more about the importance of salmon to the region.
