Saltery Bay Provincial Park

This park consists of two locations close together along the Upper Sunshine Coast highway. The first location is the campground actually at Mermaid Coved named after the mermaid statue sunk in the cove for diving. This campground is beautiful with a wonderful rainforest landscape. There is lots of privacy between sites so that you can enjoy your time camping. This site seems to be pretty empty even when it is beautiful outside as well as we had few neighbors over a 4 day span. The caretakers are super friendly and make sure that you are well looked after. As long as you are respectful of your neighbors they are not super pushy with the rules with quite time like some of the Fraser Valley camps that basically have a lights out policy. There is a pretty but rocky beach area here but nothing really all that good for swimming. This park has no power and only pit toilets.
The second location in this park is down the road a little ways and is the day use area. This portion of the park is in Saltery Bay proper and has a nice beach for swimming and just enjoying your day at the beach.
Like everything on the Sunshine Coast it is really laid back here and everyone is really friendly!
