About
Located along the Sayward Forest Canoe Route on Gosling Lake, this is a beautiful lakeside recreation site recently upgraded in the spring of 2021. The site includes a small day use/picnic area beside the lake as well as two individual sites for overnight camping. There is a car top boat launch at the day use area accessed via a short walk to the lake. This site is more appropriate for tents, campers and small trailers.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. First come, first served.
Getting there: From Campbell River, travel north on Highway 19. Near Menzies Bay, turn left onto Iron River FSR for 3kms, turn right onto Snowden FSR. Travel for 9kms then turn right onto Brewster Lake FSR for 4.5kms, turn left onto Gosling Main and the site is on your right.
