On recommendation from the Conservation Officer Service (COS), Kitimat’s municipal campgrounds – Radley Park and Hirsch Creek Park – will close to tents and pop-up tent trailers until further notice.
Bear activity at both parks has the COS advising this action while they address this issue.
Tent campers either currently in the parks or with booked reservations can request a full refund. Those with upcoming reservations can make that change from the online booking platform, and current tenters can call the campground office at 250-639-5695.
While bears are a fact of life in this community, we can all take simple actions to reduce wildlife conflicts such as:
  • Properly storing and removing your food from campsites.
  • Avoiding cleaning of fish in parks and campsites.
  • Making noise and traveling in groups while on hikes.
  • Simply never feed any wildlife.
