Parking lot to start the hike to the summit of Mt. Work (2km one way). Stayed here for the night. Sign says that the gates are closed from sunset to sunrise, but nobody came to close it. No signs that say no overnight or something like that. Nobody came to bother us. it was quiet during the night.

Latest Check-Ins
We camp there on Oct 13, 2020. At midnight we were told to get out by the warden who came to close the gate 😕 Nice long and winding road to come in, not so nice to get out in the middle of the night. Beautiful cedar forest. Very dark at night. Quiet for the few hours we were there.
Report Check-InArrived here at 8:30pm and we were the only ones there but slowly 4 other cars/campers rolled in by 9:30-10pm. We fell asleep but we’re woken up by a loud bang on our door and a light shining through the windows. It was RCMP at 12:30am and they wrote us up a warning with their details saying “no camping allowed- warning this time” with a file number. All the other campers had left when we woke up at 12:30am so I assume they all got warned as well and left.
Camp at your own risk, they seem to be onto it.
Report Check-InWas here the same night as the other camper posted. We were told by the cops because someone called them and reported the campers. I suspect the reason was that a couple of campers were very loud and making noise past 11 pm. If you respect the place and people living close by and there are only one or two cars you should be fine and this would be a beautiful place to wale up to.
Report Check-InWas a few cars parked there right when we got there (about 7:30 pm) but they were all gone shortly after sunset. Has no issues and was a great place just outside of Victoria. Clean drop toilets located there as well.
Report Check-Inlots of space but the road there is lot of curves.
there were no other cars in the lot at night and it was dark. but all in all a nice spot at a start of a hiking trail
Quiet parking lot. Sign states that the park is closed at night but a local assured us that no one would bother us.
