Come camping in Roberts Creek / British Columbia

This tiny but colourful community can be found where Roberts Creek Road, Lower Road and Beach Avenue converge. Known locally, "The Creek" is the laidback centre of the Coast's counterculture, with a bounty of local artisans. Visit the Creek in August and take in the quirky Creek Daze festival. Eclectic shops and an organic restaurant and cafe/bakery add to the charm.  Visit the community's waterfront park and its long pedestrian pier with spectacular views of the Strait of Georgia and one of the best places on the Coast to watch the sunset.

In July, local artists join together here over several days to paint a magnificent mandala, representing the Mayan calendar, on the paved area near the beach access.

Paddle off on a guided kayak excursion to catch the golden rays of sunset or play in phosphorescence in the silver glow of the moon.

Just minutes from Roberts Creek is Dakota Ridge, is a 1,532 acre plateau featuring 13 kilometres of world class cross country ski trails (classic and skate) and 8 kilometres of snowshoe trails. The trails wind through old growth forests and open areas in a beautiful sub-alpine setting. Topping out at 1,200 metres, amazing views of the Coast Mountains, Vancouver Island, and Georgia Straight capture the magic of the Sunshine Coast. This is a "must do!”

The park at the corner of Beach Ave. and Flume Rd. is a great spot for a picnic and watching for seals, whales and other wildlife offshore. Just west of Flume Rd. at Hwy. 101, Roberts Creek Provincial Park offers 24 vehicle/tent campsites in a lush forest setting.
