Loveland Bay Park is on Campbell Lake near Campbell River on central Vancouver Island. BC Parks lists it as a camping, swimming, fishing, and boating destination, with a boat launch giving access to the lake.
The park is reached from Highway 28 west of Campbell River, then by gravel roads that also serve industrial traffic. It works well as a lake base near Campbell River, Elk Falls, Gold River routes, and the north Island travel corridor.
Loveland Bay is a practical campground for visitors who want a quieter Campbell Lake stay without leaving the Campbell River area. Campsites sit close to the water, and the lake supports a broad mix of warm-weather activities in good conditions.
BC Parks lists swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, waterskiing, and windsurfing. Trout fishing is available in Lower Campbell Lake with the proper freshwater licence, and small boats can use the boat launch. The park also has a dock and wharf, though BC Parks notes space can be limited, so boaters should not depend on long-term moorage.
Camp beside Campbell Lake, swim from shore, paddle the bay, launch a small boat, fish for trout, windsurf when conditions allow, bike on park roads, and use the area as a base for nearby Campbell River trips.
There is no designated swimming area and no lifeguards. Drive cautiously on gravel logging roads, keep pets leashed, carry fishing licences, and remember that bicycles and e-bikes are limited to roadways or motor-vehicle areas.
