Cogburn Beach opens May 15, at noon for the 2026 camping season!
This site stretches 2km along a beautiful pebble beach and offers a chance to camp right on Harrison Lake. Camping is for tents only on the pebble beach, with no tables and a rock fire ring. There are 6 forested tent sites with tables located in a treed area accessible by foot along short trails below Host site. The rest of the camping is off the main road and directly on the beach. Cogburn is popular for swimming, lounging and boating. Please do your part to keep this site clean of litter and garbage for the continued use and the enjoyment of all. Please respect the peace and quiet of others around you. Let the sound of nature prevail.
No motorized vehicles on the beach at any time!
You pack it in, You pack it out- No glass bottles permitted on the beach. Garbage receptacles and potable water are not provided. Be prepared to bring your own water and pack out any garbage. Always follow Leave no Trace outdoor ethics.
Please consider a different campground that has garbage service on site if you are not able to bring your garbage home with you. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. If we all follow the rules, this will ensure continued use of this recreation area.

Cogburn has a garbage problem, with campers bringing up and then leaving excessive garbage behind on the beach and the road.
Cogburn campers create more garbage then 10 different campsites combined!!
We are not sure why but we are working with campers and the visiting public to reduce this excessive garbage and littering. You must keep your site area clean, free of litter and garbage and your food and garbage stored securely in your vehicle.. If you leave garbage onsite, you will be reported along with photos to Conservation and Recreation Sites and Trails BC. Camping permits will be revoked and you will no longer be able to camp here.
Cogburn Beach now has designated parking areas for campers, and "NO PARKING" areas. This is due to excessive congestion on the main road during high usage. The road must be kept open for 2-way traffic for emergency services, fire fighting, logging trucks and wide loads. If you park in a no parking area you risk being towed away without notice. YOU WILL GET TOWED AWAY!
Once there is no safe place to park, Cogburn Beach is FULL, and no more vehicles or campers will be allowed to park. There is no area for trailer parking at Cogburn, designated parking is limited and is for vehicle parking only-No parking trailers or erecting tents, pop ups or fire pits. Tenting is permitted on the beach only.
