Gordon Bay Camp Site — Hotel in Area F (Cowichan Lake South / Skutz Falls)

A very nice camp site to stay at. There is a small but convenient launch. If that’s part of this campsite beach the water is very clear and nice. The location of the beach provides a lot of protection from the winds in the lake. This lake is known for its “3 o’clock chop” where the waves get very choppie and make most water sports difficult.

The water is get deep very quickly. So it’s not the most conducive to younger children. There are large logs that are chained together about 100 feet out. They provide a fun place to play on. You can climb on the logs and run down them. There is also a lot to see under the water for people who are inclined to snorkel. A lot of logs with a ton of Crayfish under them.

Overall, I’m very happy with Gordon Bay...

Looking for a relaxing weekend… go to any other Rec site along the lake at least you aren’t paying...

Such a great camp ground that was quiet and very well kept. Swimming from the beach was fantastic and it is very calm for paddle boarding. Less than a 15 min drive from the town of Lake Cowichan is very convenient too. Most of the staff were very friendly, but one of the staff was extremely rude when we left. The staff member berated us for not packing up fast enough even though it was just 15 min past check out time. We were gone from the site 30 min after check out time so this type of behavior from their staff is completely unnecessary especially that other sites were still packing up too. This interaction at the end of our weekend left a...
