Cameron Lake is a lake north of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Head north from Nanaimo or South from Campbell River on Route 19. Take exit 60 (route 4) towards Port Alberni and drive 16 km to Beaufort Picnic Area. Cameron Lake is the first lake you will drive by so if you start winding along a 4.5 km long lake you have missed the parking. There is parking for about 5 vehicles and an outhouse, and from there a very short walk to a clean pebble beach.

Cameron Lake has a steep sandy and gravelly slope down to at least 15 meters and most likely easy access to 30+ m.

If you are interested in Cameron Lake Trivia; reportedly there is a lake monster lurking in the dark deep.
