Haywire Bay Regional Park & Campground — Attraction in Area B (Paradise Valley)

This location and the beach is absolutely breathtaking, no doubt about it. British Columbia’s nature is incredible, and it is a privilege to experience it. That being said about Mother Nature and it’s beauty. Do not travel here if you are looking for some peace and quite as you would expect camping to be. specially on the weekends.

All in all I'd happily give this campground a...

Bathrooms could use a little more upkeep; but they aren't the worst we have seen. We turned up around 530pm and many sites available (mostly I think it's a weeknight and post summer times). It's $25 for a single site. We had the best stay; pup was taunted by many squirrels (which they seem super comfortable with humans and dogs).
