Kin Beach Provincial Park Campground

This campground is quite lovely. It’s not overly private but has amazing views and is affordable. It’s pit toilets only but they don’t smell like pit toilets and are nice and clean ! The guy who runs it is friendly and helpful and it’s right by the ocean ! There was an annoying fog horn noise in the evening but nothing at night whilst sleeping !

Stunning place, but the woman caretaker has ruined it for our entire party. My friend got married here on August 26, something that was planned as soon as reservations opened in March. On the phone we said we wanted to camp the 25, 26, 27th meaning that we would leave the 28th.

1) confusing pricing - not charged per site but rather by age of party members. 2 adults, 2 children is $20, but 4 adults is double $40. Maybe we didn’t understand but the amount, $240, seemed right to us at the time of booking for 9 adults.

2) you do not receive a receipt when you book. The receipt is written in a book and written confirmation only given when you come in. No paper trails except their word vs yours.

3) when we tried to say this must have been a miscommunication, caretaker screamed at us and called the Bride a “fucking Karen.” She told us she would call the cops on us if we weren’t out by 1pm and it was 12:36. When we tried to suggest an emailed receipt could have solved all this, she said they made no mistakes and how dare we accuse them.

4) no compassion. Yelling at a bride who is in her pajamas the morning after the wedding until she cried, with no paper trail to prove the booking.

All of this was witnessed by the whole group, this place meant everything to bride as her dead mother used to take her camping her before she died. We do not suggest this new management & will have to honour her mom in a new way going forward.
