Okeover Arm Provincial Park

This year we went to the campground on July 30, 2021. Our family and friends shared 3 campsites. On the morning of July 31, 2021 while we were eating breakfast, a ranger J. McGuirness came up to our campsite and gave us 3 violation tickets for the act of Section 8(2). ***Disturbance prohibited 8 (1)A person must not create or cause a deliberate or unnecessary disturbance in a park, conservancy or recreation area. (2)Except as authorized by a park officer, a person must not, between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. the following day, operate or permit another person to operate any device that produces sound at a level which disturbs the peace and quiet of (a)an occupant of another campsite, or (b)persons in the park, conservancy or recreation area. ***Then, the ranger gave us an eviction notice and told us "If you don't leave in 2 hours, we will call the RCMP." Firstly, the music was turned completely off when our neighbor asked us to turn it down at 9:48 pm to be exact. Our talking and laughter was kept to a minimum, and to be honest, the neighbor's snoring was much louder than our talking. Secondly, NO WARNING AT ALL was ever given to any of us about noise or anything that night or the morning after. From my experience, the other campsites I've been to have had rangers come up to the campsite to give warnings if we were too loud past quiet time. Thirdly, they didn't even ask us if we were loud or if we had music on or what were doing and at what time. They never questioned whatever was told to them from neighbors or whoever reported something. The ranger just walked away after saying this line "You have 2 hours to leave or we'll call the RCMP. Have a good day." How insane is that?! How do you not get frustrated at that after travelling an entire day from Vancouver to Powell River? We are respectful human beings with common sense. If someone asks us to turn the music down, we'll turn it down. If we are given a warning about noise, we would listen..OBVIOUSLY!! We travelled over 5 hours just to get to that campsite, why would we set up ourselves to get evicted?! I ask Okeover to please go over your procedures and campground policies with your rangers. This just doesn't seem fair that no warnings were given and no communication was delivered to us at all. We were accused and evicted, never ever listened to or considered.

The Laughing Oyster Restaurant's view is Okeover Arm. The view and food are awesome. Service is impeccable, warm & friendly. If visiting Powell River then this is a place to see.

A great place to camp, have a picnic, explore the beach and so much more. I appreciate the picnic tables and fire grill pits!

Small out of the way campground. Can be very quiet especially at night. Beach area is fairly rocky.

Spent an entire summer afternoon rowing on the water in a little boat.. perfect day! Found some little beaches with white sand and clear blue waters and spotted lots of seals! Or maybe they were otters lol

Wonderful place to visit. We kayaked over to a beautiful sandy beach.

What a lovely little beach. You can see the inlet and barely see desolation sound! There are a lot of barnacles so bring some sort of beach shoe. Saw a couple black birds, that w was nice. Would highly recommend! Parking is 4 minute walk from beach. Did not see any handi-accessable way to beach but there was a pier!

There are not many camping spots. But if you land one, it's a fantastic campground. It's very close to lake access. Definitely wear water shoes when you get there. The sunset is absolutely spectacular! It is also walking distance to Laughing Oysters. Must visit - the seafood is absolutely fantastic!
