Recent articles have created some confusion about the future of Croft Island RV & Campground. We want to take this opportunity to clear up any misunderstandings and provide the community with the most accurate, up-to-date information.
Official Approvals in Place
Croft Island has now received formal approval from the Federal Department of Fisheries & Oceans (DFO) for our erosion protection and riparian restoration plans. Permit #100483433 was granted on August 8, 2025, ensuring that our environmental safeguards are fully recognized and compliant
Additionally:
Our engineers have designed and received approval for a new bridge to replace the aging 1954 structure. This bridge is safe for public use and designed to meet modern environmental and safety standards.
Provincial notifications have been circulated in relation to the approved riparian restoration and erosion control.
We have engaged with local First Nations communities, who have inspected the project and provided their blessing. As part of this collaboration, DiRi63 has been donated as their historic fishing site, formally recognized by the BC Archaeological Society.
Working with the District of Hope
We continue to work in good faith with the District of Hope to provide all necessary information and support. While a standard one-year waiting period typically applies before reapplying for municipal consideration, we are hopeful this process may be advanced with the District’s support.
Commitment to the Community
Our team is committed to transparency, environmental responsibility, and community partnership. We recognize that some earlier reports have caused uncertainty, and we want to assure residents and visitors that the Croft Island RV & Campground project is moving forward with the proper permits and approvals in place.
We are excited to commence sales and welcome future guests, knowing that this project will bring long-term benefits to the community, local tourism, and the natural environment.
