Bamberton Provincial Park, Provincial park in Mill Bay, British Columbia, Canada.

Bamberton Provincial Park is a nature reserve featuring a sandy beach spanning roughly 225 meters along Saanich Inlet, with a wooded camping area set back from the water. A trail system of about 1.5 kilometers connects these different sections, allowing visitors to move between the shoreline and forest facilities.

The British Columbia Cement Company first laid out the site as a private recreation area and transferred it to the province in 1960. The park takes its name from H.K. Bamber, a manager in the cement industry. It was established by Order-in-Council at about 68.94 hectares and reduced to 28 hectares in 2004.

The beach served as a fishing and ceremonial gathering place for First Nations communities, particularly for those speaking Saanich languages along Johns Creek. Local Indigenous groups maintained deep ties to this coastal area through generations of traditional use.

The park lies about 45 km north of Victoria on the east coast of Vancouver Island, reached from Highway 1 in the Cowichan Valley Regional District. The picnic area sits directly on the shore of Saanich Inlet, while the camping area stands roughly 50 m higher, separated by a slope. The campground has 53 pitches for tents and motorhomes, some reservable, with basic sanitary facilities.

The beach's traditional Saanich name is qʷələs. The inlet's tide, about 3 metres even at Finlayson Arm, exposes a tidal zone where mussel beds and other marine life can be seen at low tide; the shellfish and fish draw ospreys and bald eagles.
