How to get to Loveland Bay Provincial Park
Loveland Bay is located west of Campbell River on central Vancouver Island. Access is from Hwy 28, 4 km west of Campbell River. Take the turnoff to Elk Falls viewpoint and Loveland Bay. Drive past Elk Falls and over the dam, then take the first road on the left. Follow the gravel road 12 km to Loveland Bay. From Nanaimo the drive is roughly 2.5 hours north, and from Victoria plan on about 4.5 hours; the nearest airport for fly-and-rent is Campbell River Airport (YBL), with Comox Valley Airport (YQQ) about an hour south. Access to this park is by active logging roads. The chance of encountering loaded logging trucks while traveling these roads is highly likely. Logging trucks have the right of way at all times. Drivers should use caution and yield to logging trucks. Use pullouts whenever possible. The final 12 km gravel stretch is narrow and dusty, so large RVs and towables should travel slowly and keep headlights on.
