Detailed Reviews
We have been coming here for a week a year for 4 years now. I love camping here! Upon arrival this time though, our site had garbage all over and the showers are disgusting!!! I've been here for 3 days so far (3 showers) and the same mud is still smeared in shower stall that was there when I first went in there. You definitely have to shower in flip flops, I'll walk barefoot all day in the dirt but wouldn't think about walking in the shower room without something on my feet. The garbage cans are overflowing etc.
I love camping here which is why I'm still giving it 4 Stars even though It severely falls short cleanliness wise in comparison to previous years. The staff really need to get it together!!!!!!!!!

Stayed here with family for a week over the August long weekend. The lake was beautiful and the kids loved swimming and paddle-boarding. The on-site snack shack was a well-received reprieve!
We were disappointed about operations on four fronts: 1) the facility ran out of Ice unexpectedly on Saturday of the long weekend and replenishment had not been ordered in advance (heard this directly from the staff); 2) Pay shower hot water reservoir emptied unexpectedly for a day, resulting in no shower in the Men's washroom; 3) campsites were very close to one another with next to no privacy, no foliage where we stayed; and 4) Infrequently patrolled public access lead to very, very loud dance music playing from the parking lot in a campground that requests NO amplified music. With the parking lot so close, running right through the campground, it was if I had headphones on. Very loud until late at night.
Note: this form indicates this is a hotel - it is not - it is a campground and as such, the questions below are strange.

It is a beautiful campground but the facilities could be looked after a bit better. Bathrooms were not cleaned often enough and when they did clean them it was the busiest part of the morning when everyone was trying to get in the showers and do their morning business.

The public beach was absolutely jam packed on the weekend. Evening festivities ramped up around 9 each evening and ended when I finally contacted the noise complaint number. Guests swimming and taking selfies, loud music at 1 am was disappointing as I figured the camp host would be more proactive with managing these situations.
Zero privacy and washrooms were borderline unsanitary. After paying for a waterfront site, I would expect to not have to cough up a loonie every time I wanted to shower. The check in process consisted of the clerk handing me a piece of paper and told me the “rules” are on the back.
All that said, the lakefront sites are unbeatable, relaxing early morning for coffee on the beach and sunset paddleboard sessions. I was in Cumberland for a biking vacation so I could escape the madness during the day. It is what it is. Just know what to expect.

Room Tip: Know what to expect! The unserviced sites are far more private and lovely.

My parents stayed here 3 years ago when the old owners were still there. What a difference this year!!! The RV sites are smaller, good luck with your pull outs and forget about a sun tent at your site.
They no longer come by and clean and check out sites that have recently been vacated. They used to rake the area but not any longer. They have a bunch of young teens/adults (?) on golf karts that check garbage and pretend to be keeping things in check. People were speeding through the site and they did nothing to stop them. Thank goodness a child never got hit as we all coughed on the dust and waited for it to clear to cook our lunch.
The food shack is a complete embarrassment to lake food and its former offerings. $6.50 for a grilled avocado, NO burgers but $33 will get you 2 hotdogs with a pickle and 2 "large" poutines. The fries are drenched in a horrible seasoning salt and the gravy is runny and looks like grill scrappings.
The bathrooms and showers which have a code lock for campers, was left open for all to use and the first night my mother was up to her ankles in diarrehea. The next night it was smeared all over the walls and in the public washrooms. Where are the workers and why arent these closed off??!
One worker "cleaned" it up but those bathrooms should be washed down a few times a day. There was garbage and food littered everywhere between the food stand and washrooms with no worker in site....
For $38 a night it was a complete waste of money and a disgusting experience. It is such a shame the new owners have destroyed the original vibe and food choices out there as the locals have clearly stated over and over again.
It is time to clean up, literally, bring back the original lake food and remember this is a local treasure and holds a lot of memories to people and you seem to only care about money. Yes people from out of town will still come, but your reviews are about to deter them if you dont get your act together.
I have notified the better business bureau, tourism bc and health inspector over these conditions as a strong push to make sure you fix this.

Just wrapped up our 6th annual family camping trip to Cumberland Lake Park Campground. Super impressed with the staff who are always helpful and enthusiastic. Park amenities, like the showers, washrooms and snack shack are convenient, clean and always improving.
The hiking, mountain bike trails, rock climbing and beach are all easily accessible and offer a variety of suitable challenges for every member of our family...from the laid back beach goer to the aspiring adventurer. Quick and easy access to Cumberland makes that early morning trip for coffee & breakfast sandwiches an easy win for the campsite hero!
Looking forward to keeping this tradition going!

I don’t mind kids running around the campground- it’s part of the summer family fun. Or even the postage stamp sized campsites - I expect that from a commercial campground business. But for crying out loud do you have to stink up the entire campground with your marijuana? No, it’s not legal yet - might as well be - but the stuff smells bad and effects everyone’s campsite. In a day and age where everyone is concerned about offending others I AM OFFENDED when I have to breathe this noxious smoke. This campground and others need to deal with this NOW because when this stuff becomes legal camping will no longer be fun.

booked an overnight stay at the campground with my boyfriend and two kids. We had a large tent, and we ordered 10$ worth of firewood. We ended up switching sites to a different spot, that was actually less expensive. She said when they dropped off The firewood, she would also bring my change—the difference in cost. Around 330pm my firewood was delivered, no change. At around 5pm I decided I would like to purchase more wood, I went down to the office-closed. I called... left a voicemail...no phone call back and no change dropped off. The office hours are not posted anywhere! We were walking by the washroom and a young woman camping alone also was looking for help as she had no picnic table at her site. My boyfriend and I helped her move one from one spot to hers. It was very heavy. She said she was looking for someone to help her—- no help around.
After packing up, I went to the office to enquire about my change and the door was open but sign said closed. The host was cooking breakfast and she said it was credited to my cc but when I checked it wasn’t on ( prob takes a few days ). I informed her that she should have communicated that to me, that I called and left messages and tried to get help so many times and no one was around. It was so frustrating!
I would not recommend staying here!
Someone Else told me, while I was searching for help, that an ambulance came to grab someone and still no one around and no security like they were suppose to have either!

We've been glamping all summer in the woods. It is such a delight to be glamping on the shores of comox lake in Cumberland BC. Listening to the gulls flying. nearby. Nice beach to walk along. Lovely views for photography. Raft for jumping off into a safe roped off area. Not that I did that. Not hot enough for me!😉

Just spent the BC long weekend at Comox Lake. Even though we had campers we stayed in the tenting area instead of the RV area. If you like P@Q (no wifi) and lots of privacy, the tenting area is for you. Large sites, clean outhouses, handy water and garbage. Just a short walk to the beach, showers and concession. The beach was busy - as to be expected on a long weekend - but you could get a space no problem. They have a lovely large roped off area for safe swimming and you can rent paddleboards and kayaks. The water was lovely - nice and refreshing. If you like to be closer to the beach and don't mind sitting in your neighbours lap, then the RV area is for you!

No, one cannot rent monthly at Comox Lake as the campground is closed throughout autumn, winter and reopens late spring.
when administration of campground at Comox Lake changed a few years ago a policy limiting duration of camper stay was implemented (to the extreme consternation of former campers).
