Under B.C. Parks’ concept plan, the existing campground would be reduced to 80 sites, while another 40 would be built on newly acquired property
A plan to spread campers at Hornby Island’s popular Tribune Bay Provincial Park over a larger area and add walk-in campsites is expected to start taking shape later this spring.Three years after acquiring a campground and a 16-acre parcel of undeveloped forest land and beachfront, the province has completed an ecological assessment and concept plans to make camping a better experience for visitors who flock to Tribune Bay’s warm, shallow waters and sandy beaches.
Those new sites would be a combination of walk-in campsites catering to hikers, cyclists and kayakers, as well as park-beside tent sites and small overnight shelters called “bunkies.” Grant said though the net gain of only four campsites won’t meet the ever-increasing demand for camping on Hornby, it does address the crowding problem and provide new types of campsites with less environmental impact.
B.C. Parks said it has heard so far that many people like to visit and camp at Tribune Bay, but would prefer a less-crowded camping experience and improvements to the facilities.
