Shingle Bay Campground is a walk-in backcountry campground operated by Parks Canada within Gulf Islands National Park Reserve on North Pender Island, British Columbia. From the overnight parking area at the end of Shingle Bay Road, campers descend a steep 0.
24 km hill to reach the waterfront sites. The campground offers 10 reservable sites and is open year-round, accessible by foot or by water, making it a popular base for kayakers, hikers, and cyclists.
Sites feature large gravel tent pads and picnic tables, mostly set within a shaded apple orchard. Facilities include a vault toilet, information kiosk, and food lockers. There is no potable water on site.
Hammocks are permitted but may not be hung from fruit trees, oaks, or arbutus. Each site accommodates a maximum of five persons and two tents.
Roe Lake is roughly a 20-minute walk from the campground via a trail that climbs into the uplands above Shingle Bay, connecting to a 2. 7 km loop around the lake. Dogs are permitted but must remain on leash on the trails.
