While fires are allowed, we encourage visitors to conserve the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using stoves instead. Campfire rings are provided at each campsite and communal rings in the day-use area.
Firewood can be purchased from the Park Facility Operator. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil. You can conserve firewood and air quality by keeping your campfire small. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. Be prepared to bring a portable stove for cooking.

This park has an outdoor amphitheatre and nature house.

• The Rathtrevor Nature House is offering two programs a day, 7 days a week during July and August.
• Each day at 2:00pm there is a Jerry's Ranger program beginning at the Rathtrevor Nature House. These programs are designed to foster conservation in children between the ages of 5 and 12 years of age and children participating will have an opportunity to collect the Jerry's Ranger certificates, stickers, antlers and pins. These programs are free of charge although donations are always appreciated at the Nature House.
• In the evenings at 7:30pm, there is an amphitheatre program suitable for all ages on a variety of Natural History topics. These programs usually last between
  1 - 1.5 hours. Again, these programs are free of charge although donations are appreciated.

The park offers 5.5 km of easy walking trails, most of which are wheelchair accessible. Trails meander along the beach, weave through mature forests of Douglas fir, Western red cedar, hemlock, balsam, spruce and a variety of deciduous trees, including arbutus and maple. A variety of short trails link the walk-in, group and main campsites to the beach. Another trail loops from just before the main parking lot around a pretty heritage farm field. Detailed trail maps are posted at information shelters in the park.
For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.

This park does not have a playground.

There are two adventure playground areas in the park - one in the campground and one at the day-use area.

This park offers excellent ocean swimming opportunities. On a low tide the ocean recedes almost a kilometer, providing an ideal place for youngsters of all ages to play. When the tide rolls in over the hot sand, the warmed water is unbeatable for swimming and saltwater fun. There are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks.

The park can be accessed by canoe or kayak from the beach. The tide can be very low; check the local tide guides for details.

This park does not have a boat launch. The closest launch is at French Creek Marina, 8 km north of the park on Hwy 19a.

This park offers limited opportunities for saltwater fishing. Fishing is permitted as per provincial and federal fishing regulations. All anglers should check the current regulations issued by Fisheries and Oceans Canada prior to fishing. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.
