Sandbanks

Sandbanks Provincial Park

Car Camping

Sandbanks offers over 500 car campsites in five campground areas: Outlet River A & B, Cedars in the East Lake sector, Richardson’s in the West Lake sector and the Woodlands Campground located between East and West Lake sectors of the park. Campsites in these campgrounds accommodate equipment ranging from tents only to large trailers.  Amenities such as water taps, comfort stations and laundry facilities are close by.
 
Outlet A with its many waterfront sites is very popular with campers. A few sites offer electrical service. This is a busy campground with sites that are grouped relatively close together. Outlet B offers a bit more privacy with some sites along the Outlet River and a loop with electrical pull-through sites.

Cedars is a family oriented campground offering more sheltered, private campsites. It has less traffic than the Outlet campgrounds but the beach is still close by.

The Woodlands Campground offers both shady and sunny sites. Sunny sites are preferred by fall campers when temperatures are cooler. All sites in the Woodland Campground offer electrical service. Swimming, boating and the Visitor Centre are only a short distance away.

Richardson’s Campground also offers a mix of sunny and shady sites. Richardson campground offers 19 campsites that are electrical.

Group Camping

Sandbanks has two group campsites that vary in size and can accommodate from 30 to 50 people. These group campsites are suitable for tent camping only and cannot accommodate trailers. Water taps are nearby and vault toilets are on site. Outlet Beach is approximately 1 km away.

Reservations can be made online or by phone.
