How many people can be on one campsite?

Can I have two RVs or an extra tent on my site?
The city bylaw in Langley states that each campsite can only accommodate one sleeping unit per campsite (RV or tent), an additional small tent (max 10'x10') is permitted if it is for minor children in the same family group.
I am not camping can I rent a canoe or kayak for the day?
Yes, our day use park offers paddle boats and bicycle rentals as well as canoe and kayak lessons, which are open to campers and the general public.
Why can't I book a specific campsite?
Booking specific campsites does not allow us the flexibility we require to accommodate the highest number of campers. Campsite allocation is based on length of stay and size of camping unit.
Do you have mosquitoes at the park?
We are in nature. Weather and bugs are a natural part of the camping experience. Because of high river levels we do have nuisance mosquitoes. However, the Township of Langley and Metro Vancouver are taking measures to control, monitor and treat the mosquito population, when it becomes an issue.
How can I reduce my risk of coming in contact with mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. When outdoors, cover up and use insect repellent. Repellent with DEET is most effective and safe when used as directed: The percentage of DEET should not exceed 30% for adults or 10% for children. DEET should not be used for infants under 6 months of age.
For more information on insect repellents please visit Health Canada’s web page.
