it's was open! Mid Oct 2022. But then we got locked out Oct 16, with all our stuff still in the site. No signs anywhere regarding closure.
No one collected fees, flush and pit toilets, plus showers. The beach and sunset are magnificent.

Fantastic location, this place has it all (except seclusion and privacy). Running water around the camp sites, bathrooms have electrical sockets for emergency charging (some of the showers were broken but others worked), close to the beach and large park/picnic area.

Rangers were friendly and understanding (we had to set up our tent a day early but didn’t sleep there that night). $30 dollars/night (based on # of cars parked on the campsite). Checkout was at 11am.

Amazing spot, can’t wait to go back and explore Burnett Falls and the surrounding trails in Porpoise Bay.

One of the best campgrounds we have been. Next to the water/ beach, picnic shelter/table by the beach, lots privacy, Huge site, clean washer room, few first come first serve spots but mid Sep there are lots spots available !! Shower are closed due to Covid ! Just take an empty spot, the park patrol will come and collect the fee, but CASH only tho. Only community fire pit , no fire pit at each site! Still Love it!!

Huge park with a lot of sites. The lower sites seem to get the most sun and the higher up sites are quite chilly but would be nice to escape the heat in the hot summer.
We’re here (from Gibsons) during the travel ban and the place is quiet with very few occupied sites (only 6). The communal fire pits have had wood but limited supply and sadly nothing was dropped off today.
The beach was very nice except for the huge pile of dog S**t that we didn’t notice until after we layed out our blanket (wish people would be more diligent).
We rode our bikes into Sechelt and had a beer and wings at the Batch 44 brew pub (oh, and they have delicious Caesar’s 🤪)

All in all, a very nice stay.

Campground closed for winter season (oct 15 - apr 15) but planty of parking spots - parking in the direction of group camp site is good for spending the night.

I stayed here many nights this winter. The campground is closed but the park is open for daytime use. I parked in the parking lot by the group campsite. There’s an outhouse and garbage bin. Felt safe and no one bothered me.

This is a busier provincial park campground, with more families and activity overall - typical of campgrounds that are in the vicinity of an urban area. Some of the sites at the far end back on to people's backyards in an adjoining suburb, complete with the noise of landscapers, people vacuuming, etc. Kinda weird.

Most of the campsites are reservable and competely booked out this year, but we lucked in to a first come first served site.

Showers seem to have two settings: Melting; and ice cube. The beach at the lake is nice, and is a good safe place for kids.

The park operator posts a sheet at the entrance each day showing which sites might be available, so check that on the way in.

All in all, a good place if you want to spend a day or two in the Sechelt area and just need somewhere to sleep; but there's nicer and more natural places to be on the Sunshine Coast.
