Pirates Cove Campsite (BCMT)

Pirates Cove Campsite sits within Pirates Cove Marine Provincial Park on De Courcy Island, southeast of Nanaimo in British Columbia's southern Gulf Islands.

The park is accessible by private boat only, via Dodd Narrows, and features two dinghy docks — one on the north side of the cove, one on the south — providing access to the camping and day-use areas.

Designated campsites with tent pads are located just above the south beach, some offering ocean views. A hand pump provides water, and a self-registration fee vault is nearby. Campfires are not permitted at any time; a camp stove is required for cooking.

Approximately 5 km of easy hiking trails wind through mature second-growth Douglas fir, arbutus, and Garry Oak. The park is open year-round, though no services are provided in winter.
