Porpoise Bay Provincial Campground is on Sechelt Inlet Road, a short drive from Sechelt on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. Campsites sit within walking distance of the bay, where calm water suits paddle boarding and the rocky shore is a place to spot small crabs and purple starfish. The campground has tent and RV sites, washrooms, showers, running water and shared fire pits. Seals are sometimes seen in the area. Sechelt is close by for supplies and dining.
Campsites and facilities
The campground has tent sites and RV camping, with washrooms, public showers and running water. RV amenities include water, sewer and electrical hookups. Wheelchair-accessible facilities and parking are listed among the amenities.
Fire pits are communal rather than attached to individual sites. Bring a campfire pot if you prefer to manage your own fire. Some campsites are open with limited privacy, and a few back onto residential properties.
The bay and shoreline
The short walk from the campsites to the bay makes it easy to spend time by the water. Calm conditions are suited to paddle boarding. Look among the rocks for small crabs and purple starfish, and watch the water for harbour seals.
Dogs are allowed at the campground, but beach access rules are unclear: accounts differ about where dogs can go. Check current local rules before taking a dog onto the beach or picnic area.
Planning a stay
Sechelt is a short drive away for supplies and dining. Sharkey’s is a nearby restaurant. If you plan to crab in the surrounding area, get a licence first.
The park suits campers who want access to the bay and campground facilities close to town. If privacy at your site or a private fire ring is important, bear in mind that some sites are open and fire pits are shared.
