If you're planning on camping in BC, put Vancouver Island camping on your list if you want an ocean and forest adventure.

OUR TIP: The one thing to remember... try to book as far in advance as you can. This is especially true for Vancouver Island private campgrounds. Lots of people book early in the season (March), and by the time the peak summer months comes, most spots are taken.

We're here to help you find your perfect Vancouver Island BC campground... Come and sit, relax and start doing nothing!
