Fillongley Provincial Park: Breathtaking oceanside camping on unique Denman Island.

Fillongley is a popular small campground. It has 10 oceanside, compact campsites. It is 100% reservable and reservations are strongly recommended due to the limited number of campsites available.

Fillongley Provincial Park offers a short hike through a marshy estuary and a salmon spawning stream. It also has trails that run through spectacular old growth forest and the remnants of the old homestead of George Beadnell, a pioneer who built his estate at Fillongley at the start of the 1900’s.
Swimming, kayaking and beach combing are popular at this park.

World-renowned potters, artisans, artists, and crafters make up a significant portion of Denman Island’s population, and have helped earn its reputation as a popular tourist destination.
