Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor

99 RV Sites, 8 Tent Sites

Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor in Washington offers 99 RV sites and eight tent sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 75 feet, behind a gated entrance at the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula. Premium pull-through, premium back-in, and deluxe back-in categories join standard and water-and-electric tiers, with a pool, fitness center, and dog park. Ninety-nine sites span standard back-in, back-in water-and-electric, deluxe back-in, premium back-in, and premium pull-thru categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet. Seventy-five feet is generous for the Puget Sound region and accommodates a long coach with a tow. Eight tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Cable service is temporarily unavailable during resort improvements, and staff can point you to local trails. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a fitness center, dog park, and gated entrance besides. Boating, fishing, swimming, biking, picnicking, and birding are all available locally. Pets are welcome. Gig Harbor is one of the most scenically and recreationally distinctive maritime communities in the Pacific Northwest — a working harbor in Pierce County on the southern Sound, with the Narrows Bridge connecting to Tacoma and the Olympic Peninsula opening to the west. Summer is decisively the season in western Washington, when the weather is reliable and the Olympic and Rainier corridors are at their best. Reserve well ahead for July through September.

Alpine Lakes Lodge

30 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites

Alpine Lakes Lodge in Easton, Washington, serves as a year-round mountain retreat at the crest of Snoqualmie Pass in Kittitas County — a property with a range of accommodation formats, from a fully equipped lodge capable of hosting 14 guests to private cabins, glamping sites, and RV spaces with water and electrical hookups in a setting where the Cascade Mountains define the view in every direction and the surrounding terrain delivers outdoor recreation across every season. Easton's position at the pass elevation means proximity to some of the most accessible mountain landscape in Washington State, within two hours of Seattle's population center and surrounded by the Wenatchee National Forest and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness for which the lodge takes its name. The lodge accommodates groups and families requiring solid-wall mountain lodging with plush amenities, while cabins provide more intimate versions of the same forested mountain stay. Glamping sites serve guests who want an outdoor-adjacent experience with shelter already in place, and RV pull-through sites with 30- and 50-amp electrical service and water hookups handle motorhomes and trailers needing full infrastructure in a mountain setting where self-contained capability is genuinely convenient. The property's multi-format approach makes it a practical choice for groups where different participants want different accommodation levels within a shared destination. Iron Horse State Park, following the former Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad grade across the Cascades, provides one of Washington's most distinctive trail experiences — a nearly level path following the historic rail corridor through the Snoqualmie Pass area, passing through the famous Snoqualmie Pass Train Tunnel (a two-mile bore through the Cascade crest), and providing a hiking and cycling route with extraordinary mountain views and historical infrastructure embedded in the landscape. Lake Easton State Park, adjacent to the lodge area, adds a lakefront recreation component with boating, fishing, and swimming in the glacially carved lake basin that serves as one of the pass region's primary recreational anchors. Swiftwater Cellars, a wine destination and gathering space at Suncadia resort in nearby Cle Elum, provides an unexpected level of culinary and viticultural sophistication within easy driving range of the lodge. The Suncadia area more broadly adds golf, spa facilities, and the full resort amenity suite to the regional day-trip options available from a Easton base camp. Alpine Lakes Lodge operates year-round, with summer delivering peak mountain recreation through the hiking and lake activity season and winter providing ski access at The Summit at Snoqualmie, one of the Seattle region's most accessible ski areas just minutes from the lodge. Fall foliage in the Kittitas County and Cascade foothills begins in late September and delivers sustained color through mid-October across the mixed conifer and deciduous terrain surrounding Easton. Reserve lodge and cabin accommodations well in advance for ski weekends and the summer hiking season, when Snoqualmie Pass access makes this one of the most sought-after mountain lodging corridors in Washington State.

Cove RV Park & Country Store

Tucked along a scenic stretch of US Highway 101 where the road hugs the western shore of Hood Canal between the small communities of Quilcene and Brinnon, Cove RV Park and Country Store occupies a rare position at the intersection of Olympic Peninsula wilderness and Hood Canal's extraordinarily productive tidal waters. The park sits within earshot of the great fjord—a biologically remarkable arm of Puget Sound ringed by the Olympic Mountains and renowned for world-class oysters, Dungeness crab, shrimp, and sport fishing that attracts devoted harvesting families throughout the year. A combination of full-hookup RV sites, a refreshed country store, and easy access to rivers, beaches, and marine resources makes Cove one of the Olympic Peninsula's most versatile stopovers. Full-hookup sites with 30/50-amp electrical service, water, sewer, and garbage service are complemented by free cable television and Wi-Fi, and loaner bikes invite exploration of the surrounding highway corridor at a pace the car cannot replicate. A horseshoe pit, outdoor checkers table, and a gazebo with an outdoor cooking area serve as the social center for guests who want to gather without driving anywhere. The on-site country store, refreshed under recent ownership with an emphasis on locally sourced and natural foods, provides fresh provisions for camp cooking or pantry supplementing, and showers, laundry, and a Marple Creek-side trail complete the practical amenity lineup. The waters of Hood Canal just across the highway are the park's greatest natural asset—a protected fjord-like inlet whose cold, nutrient-rich water supports the oysters, manila clams, Dungeness crab, and spot shrimp that have sustained the Hood Canal harvest tradition for generations. Recreational clammers and crabbers work the tidal beaches within minutes of camp, and sport fishermen find several productive rivers within easy driving range for salmon and steelhead runs that define Pacific Northwest angling throughout the fall season. The canal's calm surface accommodates kayaking and small-boat exploration of the forested coves and tidal channels that remain largely undeveloped along the western shoreline. Olympic National Park and the Buckhorn Wilderness begin just west of Highway 101, with trailheads accessing the Quilcene River valley, the Dosewallips State Park trails, and the high-country routes into the eastern Olympic Range that remain snow-clad into July. The Hood Canal Floating Bridge, about 20 miles north, connects the Olympic Peninsula to the Kitsap Peninsula and provides a route toward Seattle without navigating south through Olympia. The Theler Wetlands preserve near Belfair and the Staircase area of Olympic National Park offer additional day-trip options for guests who want to sample the full range of the Hood Canal corridor. The Hood Canal harvest seasons dictate much of the year's activity rhythm—razor clam digs, Dungeness crab season, and the salmon runs each draw devoted participants who fill the surrounding parks and campgrounds in their respective windows. Summer brings the most comfortable weather for outdoor exploration, while fall delivers the salmon runs and a quieter atmosphere for visitors who prefer the canal's pace without summer crowds. Check current shellfish and fishing regulations from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife before planning a harvest trip, as seasonal closures and harvest limits vary by species and location along the canal throughout the year.

Hart's Camp

Tucked directly behind Pacific City Beach on the Oregon Coast, Hart's Camp occupies a premium position in one of the Oregon Coast's most scenically distinctive communities—with Haystack Rock, Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, and the Nestucca River estuary all accessible within a short walk from the camp's entrance gate. The property's identity as "a Noble House Experience" reflects a hospitality approach built on decades of RV travel traditions, combined with an expanded accommodation lineup that now spans 45-foot pull-through RV sites, Airstream trailers, rental cottages, cabins, and tent sites. The campground's lodging variety accommodates the full spectrum of coastal travelers—from longtime RV guests who return season after season to first-time visitors seeking an Airstream or cottage experience without towing a rig down the coast. The 45-foot pull-through sites were designed to welcome larger modern rigs, and the cottage and cabin options give groups flexibility in how they configure a multi-party coastal stay. The camp registration is located next to Doryland Pizza on the edge of the property, providing convenient access to one of Pacific City's most popular local restaurants. Pacific City Beach lies directly across the street, giving Hart's Camp guests the kind of immediate beach proximity that requires dedicated planning to replicate at most Oregon Coast campgrounds. Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, accessible by foot from the campground, encompasses the dramatic sandstone headland above Pacific City's beach, the large dune that towers over the cape, and the coastal trail network that provides elevated views of the offshore rock and the open Pacific. Tide pools along the cape and beach are productive for exploration during low-tide windows throughout the year. The surrounding Oregon Coast offers exceptional variety for active guests extending their stay beyond Pacific City. Surfing the beach break at Pacific City, kayaking the Nestucca estuary, and hiking the headlands along the Three Capes Scenic Route are among the most popular active pursuits in the area. Birding on the estuary and along the cape during migration periods adds another dimension to the natural experience, and the town of Lincoln City is a short drive south for additional dining, shopping, and cultural options. Hart's Camp operates as a year-round coastal destination, though summer months bring the heaviest demand for beachfront-adjacent camping on this stretch of the Oregon Coast. Reservations are strongly recommended for summer weekends and holiday periods, and the Airstream and cottage inventory tends to book earliest in the season. The combination of beach immediacy, diverse lodging options, and Cape Kiwanda's natural character makes Hart's Camp one of the more compelling multi-night destinations on the central Oregon Coast. The broader Three Capes Scenic Route, accessible from Pacific City, links Cape Kiwanda to Cape Lookout and Cape Meares along an 18-mile stretch of Oregon Coast headlands, beaches, and estuaries that represents one of the most scenically varied short drives on the entire Pacific Coast. The estuary at the mouth of the Nestucca River, directly adjacent to Pacific City, is one of the more productive birding locations on the central coast during migration periods.

Imperial River Co.

27 RV Sites

Imperial River Co. in Maupin, Oregon, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites directly on the banks of the Deschutes River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Riverfront back-in and river view pull-through categories put guests on the water rather than near it, with a boat ramp, docks, a bar, and on-site dining. Twenty-seven sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in riverfront back-in and river view pull-through configurations, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side. When leaving the park, follow the directional signs slowly toward the exit without crowding, and proceed with caution to Bakeoven Road — depending on water level, you have two route options, one of which crosses the bridge. The river is the property's identity. A boat ramp and boat docks give direct access for whitewater rafting, fishing, and boating, with a community fire pit, walking trails, sports courts, volleyball, picnicking, and biking on the grounds. A bar, on-site dining, and a library round out the property, with planned activities through the season and strong birding along the canyon. Pets are welcome. Maupin sits on US-197 at the most active commercial whitewater and fishing section of the lower Deschutes — Oregon's most celebrated whitewater and fly fishing river, with 100 miles of canyon carrying Class III and IV rapids and a wild steelhead and rainbow trout fishery. Summer rafting season and the steelhead run drive demand. Reserve well ahead, and request a riverfront site early.

from $45/night

Elwha RV Park

51 RV Sites

Elwha RV Park in Port Angeles, Washington, offers 50 RV sites alongside the Elwha River, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Seven distinct categories — including big rig and narrow pull-throughs, private back-ins, and pull-ins — sit behind a gated entrance, open all year at the gateway to Olympic National Park. Fifty sites span 30-amp water-and-electric back-ins, big rig 30/50-amp pull-throughs, narrow 30/50-amp pull-throughs, private and standard 30-amp back-ins, and pull-in sites, all carrying full hookups where noted, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Accessible sites are available. Cabins serve guests without a rig. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, dump station, RV storage, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a concierge handle the practical side, with WiFi and recycling throughout. The park is open year-round. On-site recreation is broad: a recreation center, clubhouse, pavilion, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, a playground, a pond, and bike rentals, with a community fire pit for evenings and live music through the season. Mountain biking, hiking, birding, and stargazing all run from the area, with skiing, snowboarding, boating, and a casino nearby. Pets are welcome. The Elwha is the site of the largest dam removal in US history — the 2012 removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon Dams reopened 70 miles of salmon and steelhead habitat, and the river's recovery is ongoing. Olympic National Park's Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent, and the Hoh Rainforest are all within reach. Directions: from Port Angeles take US-101 west to the Highway 112 junction, follow 112 about half a mile to the sign, then left onto Lower Dam Road.

Elwha RV Park Olympic National Park RV + Campsite Packages

12 RV Rental + Campsite Packages

Elwha RV Park in Port Angeles, Washington, provides a gated full-service RV resort at the gateway to Olympic National Park, positioning guests in Clallam County's Elwha River valley where one of the most celebrated dam removal and river restoration projects in American conservation history has returned the wild salmon to the Elwha's full watershed for the first time in a century. Situated minutes from the national park's Elwha Valley entrance and Port Angeles's ferry connection to Victoria, British Columbia, the resort serves as the most comprehensively equipped lodging base in the Port Angeles area for guests whose Olympic Peninsula itinerary includes the park's varied ecosystems from temperate rainforest to subalpine meadow. The resort's facility is purpose-built for Olympic National Park visitors who want resort-quality infrastructure alongside maximum park access: gated entrance, full hookup sites with big-rig capability, cabin rentals, bike rentals, a clubhouse, recreation center, pavilion, dog park, general store, boutique shop, walking trails, sports courts for basketball, volleyball, and horseshoes, RV storage, laundry, firewood, and Wi-Fi collectively provide the service depth that extended national park base-camp stays require. The Elwha River flows adjacent to the property, providing the restored wild river access whose ecological transformation since the 2011-2014 dam removal has made the Elwha Valley one of the most significant ecological restoration stories in the Pacific Northwest. The Elwha River dam removal—completed in 2014 when the Glines Canyon and Elwha dams were fully extracted in the largest dam removal project in United States history—restored salmon passage to 70 miles of the Elwha watershed for the first time since 1913, releasing a natural sediment flow that is rebuilding the river's delta and estuary in a real-time ecological experiment observed by scientists and conservationists worldwide. The returning Chinook, coho, and pink salmon runs continue to grow each year as the river's spawning habitat recovers and the lower Elwha Tribe's cultural connection to the salmon is renewed after a century of dam-enforced absence. Olympic National Park encompasses three distinct ecosystems within its 922,000 acres—the glacier-capped Olympic Mountains, the Pacific Coast wilderness beaches, and the temperate rainforests of the Hoh, Quinault, and Queets river valleys where annual rainfall exceeding 140 inches produces the largest temperate rainforest in the Western Hemisphere outside British Columbia. Hurricane Ridge, accessible via a 17-mile paved road from Port Angeles, provides the most accessible subalpine mountain views and winter skiing in the park, rising to 5,242 feet above the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the most dramatic immediate mountain ascent from a coastal community in the lower 48 states. Elwha RV Park operates year-round in the Pacific Northwest's maritime climate, with the summer hiking season from June through September driving peak demand for Olympic National Park access and the late-season salmon viewing on the restored Elwha River creating a compelling fall attraction from October through November when the returning Chinook and coho are most visible in the river's restored spawning gravels below the former dam sites. The Port Angeles-Victoria ferry provides a day-trip international border crossing experience unique among campground day-trip options, and the resort's year-round gated operations and full hookup infrastructure serve the shoulder-season and winter visitors who find Olympic Peninsula crowds significantly reduced outside the summer peak.

Oceanside Camping & RV Resort

43 RV Sites

Oceanside Camping & RV Resort in Saanichton, British Columbia, offers 43 full-hookup RV sites on the Saanich Peninsula, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet.

Forty-three sites run in 30A and 50A Voyageur Full Service categories carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi. Cabins round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, recycling, and a pet washing station handle the practical side — the amenity buildings are spotlessly clean and modern, and the year-round operation reflects southern Vancouver Island's mild climate. Walking trails run the property, with a community fire pit, sports courts, pickleball, shuffleboard, ping pong, a playground, and a dog park on the grounds. Swimming, biking, and birding run from the area, with a beach, boating, a golf course, and wineries nearby. Pets are welcome. The position is genuinely useful.

Summer is decisively the season on Vancouver Island. Reserve well ahead.

Sun Retreats Birch Bay

271 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites, 5 Onsite RV/Trailers

Sun Retreats Birch Bay in Blaine, Washington, offers 276 full-hookup RV sites and 10 tent sites two miles from the Canadian border, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, open all year behind a gated entrance.

Two hundred seventy-six sites span full hookup back-in 50/30/20-amp, full hookup pull-thru 50/30/20-amp, open full hookup back-in 50/30/20-amp, and open full hookup pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. The open categories give more space and light for guests who prefer it to a treed site. Ten tent sites round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The property was formerly Beachwood RV Resort. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a fitness center, clubhouse, disc golf course, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, golf cart rentals, a playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Biking, fishing, swimming, and picnicking round it out, with a golf course and a state park nearby. Pets are welcome. Birch Bay sits at the northernmost edge of Whatcom County, where Semiahmoo Bay and the protected waters of Drayton Harbor make a marine environment of unusual beauty. Birch Bay State Park adjoins the resort, and Vancouver is a short drive north. Summer is decisively the season in the Pacific Northwest. Reserve well ahead.

Eugene Mobile Village-RV Park

4 RV Sites

Eugene Mobile Village and RV Park in Eugene, Oregon, offers full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, in the Glenwood neighborhood on the Eugene-Springfield border. The park has been welcoming travelers since 1945, with laundry, showers, and site WiFi. Pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi. Every site pulls through, which suits the overnight and short-stay traffic the park mainly serves. Laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. This is a small property — call ahead rather than counting on a space. Pets are welcome. The amenity set stays practical, with fishing, biking, and hiking from the surrounding area and boating nearby. The value here is an urban location with genuine hookups, in a city where that combination is scarce. The position is convenient in a way few campgrounds manage. The park sits just off I-5 on the border of Eugene and Springfield, a minute's drive from downtown Springfield's shopping and dining, with the University of Oregon stadium a few minutes away. Beyond the city, the McKenzie River fly fishing corridor, the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, and the Three Sisters Wilderness are all accessible — Eugene is arguably the most outdoor-recreation-accessible university city in the Pacific Northwest. University event weekends, particularly home football games, tighten Eugene lodging considerably. Reserve well ahead if your stay overlaps one.

Rondalyn Camping & RV Resort

30 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 1 Cottage

The stretch of coastline between Nanaimo and Ladysmith on Vancouver Island is where the island's temperate interior and its marine-influenced climate combine to create the kind of deeply wooded, creek-threaded landscape that defines the West Coast at its most quietly beautiful. Rondalyn Camping & RV Resort sits on 35 acres of this terrain on the banks of Haslam Creek, nestled in the forest just five minutes from essential services in Ladysmith and a short drive from the ferry connections that link Vancouver Island to the BC mainland. This is a year-round resort that earns its place as one of the island's most complete camping destinations. The resort accommodates guests across full-hookup overnight and seasonal RV sites with 30- and 50-amp service, alongside rental cabins for those who prefer walls and a roof. A heated pool and a spa with hot tub provide warm-season and year-round relaxation that elevates Rondalyn well above the typical campground experience. A par-3 9-hole golf course — genuinely rare in campground amenity packages — gives golfers a gentle, scenic round without leaving the resort. Full laundry facilities, clean washrooms and showers, free Wi-Fi, a playground, outdoor grills, and a gated entrance ensure the practical and recreational fundamentals are covered. Haslam Creek defines the resort's natural character — the sound of moving water threading through the Douglas fir and cedar forest, with river fishing for trout providing an immediate outdoor experience right at camp. A stocked trout pond adds a reliable close-range fishing option for guests who want to cast without hiking far. Miles of hiking and biking trails through the surrounding woodland offer morning exercise with proper old-growth forest atmosphere. The resort's dog park welcomes four-legged travelers, and the forested setting naturally dampens ambient noise, creating genuine quiet that the word "campground" doesn't always promise. Ladysmith's historic 1st Avenue district preserves an attractive collection of heritage storefronts from the coal mining era, and the town's Transfer Beach Park offers a protected harbor swimming area and waterfront green space just down the road. Nanaimo, one of Vancouver Island's largest cities, is ten minutes north — with its waterfront boardwalk, Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park, and ferry service to Horseshoe Bay in Metro Vancouver. The Cowichan Valley wine and cider region lies to the south, producing some of British Columbia's most distinctive terroir-driven beverages in a landscape of vineyards, cideries, and farm markets. Rondalyn is open year-round, and Vancouver Island's mild climate extends the comfortable camping season significantly beyond what mainland BC delivers. Winter camping here has genuine appeal — green, mild, and remarkably uncrowded. Spring brings the island's extraordinary wildflower and migratory bird seasons. Summer delivers the warmest, driest conditions and the busiest activity calendar across the island. Reserve early for summer stays and the BC Day long weekend in August. Come ready to breathe deeply — the forest air on Haslam Creek is its own kind of welcome.

Mountainaire Campground and RV Park

26 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 16 Tent Sites, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers

Mountainaire Campground and RV Park in Nanaimo, British Columbia, is a full-spectrum camping destination on Vancouver Island with RV sites at 30 and 50-amp service, cabins, tent sites, and on-site RV and trailer rentals in the lush green setting of the Nanaimo Regional District — a campground positioned on British Columbia's most populous island, the second-largest city on Vancouver Island, and the primary ferry gateway between the BC Lower Mainland and the island's west coast communities, parks, and the Pacific Rim's rain forest and surf beach landscape. Nanaimo's regional district position on the Strait of Georgia gives the campground the full Vancouver Island orientation — north to the Comox Valley and Campbell River, south to Victoria, and west to the Alberni Inlet, Pacific Rim National Park, and Tofino. RV sites at 30 and 50-amp service, cabins, tent sites, and on-site RV and trailer rentals give Mountainaire the accommodation range to serve the full spectrum of Vancouver Island camping visitors — the rental RV and trailer option specifically enables guests who travel without their own equipment to experience the island in a self-contained camping format that the BC Ferry's vehicle deck specifically accommodates, and the cabin option gives the accommodation-seeking couple or family the Vancouver Island outdoors experience without the equipment logistics of tent camping in the Island's frequent maritime rain. Pets are welcome. Vancouver Island's natural landscape is among the most diverse and most spectacular in Canada — the Island encompasses old-growth Douglas fir and western red cedar forests whose individual trees exceed 800 years in age, the Strathcona Provincial Park's wilderness alpine above 2,200 metres, the passive and active volcanic terrain of the Island's central spine, and the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve's 75 kilometres of surf-pounded beach on the island's southwest coast where the Long Beach Unit's ancient temperate rainforest meets the open Pacific in the most dramatic coastal landscape on the Canadian side of the North Pacific. Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park, accessible by foot passenger ferry from Nanaimo's downtown waterfront, provides the most immediately accessible island wilderness walk from the city centre. Tofino, 180 kilometres west of Nanaimo via the Trans-Canada and Pacific Rim Highway, is one of Canada's most celebrated outdoor tourism destinations — a small coastal community at the end of the Tofino road whose Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the world-class surfing at Chesterman Beach and Cox Bay, and the grey whale and black bear wildlife viewing sustain the specific outdoor adventure and eco-tourism economy that has made the Tofino area the premier BC coastal destination for the Vancouver and Victoria urban markets. Mountainaire Campground serves guests through the Vancouver Island camping season from spring through fall, with the BC Day long weekend in August representing the peak family camping demand and the spring and fall seasons sustaining the outdoor and cultural tourism from the Victoria and Vancouver markets that make year-round Island exploration viable in the Island's mild maritime climate. The Nanaimo Bathtub Race's summer tradition and the Vancouver Island MusicFest in Courtenay extend the campground's day-trip entertainment range into the Island's community festival calendar. Reserve sites, cabins, and rental RVs well ahead for the summer peak and BC Day weekend, when Vancouver Island campground availability across all accommodation formats fills from the mainland and international visitor market.
