Advisories

Campfires

Effective at noon on Thursday, Aug. 28, campfires will once again be permitted throughout the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction.

The Coastal Fire Centre will rescind its existing campfire prohibition due to cooler weather in the forecast, which will result in a decreased wildfire risk in the region.

The following activities will now be allowed:
• Campfires, as defined by the Wildfire Regulation
• Open fires in an outdoor stove

The public is reminded that campfires must not be larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide. Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure that the ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time.

Please visit the Wildfire Management Branch’s Website for updates and more information.

 

 

Be aware there is a “Boil Water Advisory” in effect at this park.

Plumper Cove is open year round with minimal servicing in winter months.

Firewood is available for purchase from a Park Attendant.

About Plumper Cove

The climate of Howe Sound is temperate with typically sunny and dry weather during the summer months. The sunny and dry weather plus moderate breezes help to create a boaters’ paradise.  Marine facilities include a wharf and mooring buoys.
