Tribune Bay Park Campground getting redesigned by BC Parks

The Tribune Bay Park Campground is getting a full redesign this year.

BC Parks is currently redesigning the campground, which will see new sites with a variety of camping options and small, basic cabins included. The redesign will also offer electrified and non-electrified sites, new pit toilets, and a new shower building.

The redesign is part of the Tribune Bay Park Recreation Enhancements project, an initiative that aims to expand the park to protect more land and offer opportunities to improve natural, cultural, and recreational values.

BC Parks says to bring these changes to life, they will perform construction on the campground.

“In summer 2026, there will be a short-term, temporary reduction of approximately 40 campsites in the park due to a complete redesign and reconstruction of the existing campground,” said BC Parks.

“The re-built campground will include more space and privacy between sites in the same footprint. As the project moves forward, BC Parks is committed to providing a similar number of campsites as originally existed in the park and is currently exploring locations within the park to build the remaining 40 campsites as part of phase 2 of the project (fall/winter 2026/27).”

Along with construction, they say staff are working on other changes like improving access from the campground to the beach, a new playground, accessibility improvements, universally accessible showers, prohibiting wood-burning campfires, and putting in an extra vehicle fee for second vehicles at a campsite if there’s space.

They expect construction to start this fall.
