About this site

Source

Camp Gilwell is a Scouts Canada camp near Dove Creek, in the Courtenay area. Wildwood Forest is about 1.2 km away, so there is somewhere to walk without moving the vehicle.

It is a paid site on paved access. The operator is the one to ask about facilities, since none are on record.

Dove Creek is about 3.7 km for basics, and the Petro-Pass cardlock about 5.4 km, so sort out fuel before you settle in. Black Lake is about 5.7 km off, and the Comox Valley network, 226 trails of it, starts about 8.7 km away.
