I stayed at Seal Bay on a busy, long weekend Friday night and I LOVED IT. Even though the place was…read morepacked to the rafters, (with more RV's than I have ever seen in my life) it was quiet, peaceful and restful. The campground is very well laid out - there was a lot of space for tenting, and one of my favorite things ever - each tenting spot had a raised square that was leveled off so that the tenter was not sleeping on an incline, or rocks or the like. Also, each tenting site had its own running water! There were also showers and really, the loveliest bathrooms I have ever seen at a campsite. Clean, not smelly, and attached to a gorgeous wooden hall that had *two* built in fireplaces, and ample space for a party, if one were in the mood for that. This campground also has laundry facilities, wood for purchase for burning in the fire pits, (I suppose most campgrounds have that, but anyway, it gets *delivered* to your site!) and wonderfully friendly staff. It is situated on about 60 acres of privately owned land, 20 acres of which are dedicated to camping, in a relatively quiet area near a winery ;) I think we were exceptionally lucky to get a couple of tenting spots there on a long weekend, as it was very full, but mostly of rv's. I suspect it is booked much in advance, so I would recommend making reservations. I would not hesitate to go back to this place.

Was excited to be…read moreable to camp close to Tribune Bay, and the website seemed to give a good impression of the sites and ambiance. I booked 3 nights and left after 2 as it is very crowded in July & August, and although there are strict rules about everything (recycling, noise, cancellation) there was nothing done about feces smeared on the women's outhouse toilet seat, nor about the child who screamed for hours on end (at least 6 hours). Fortunately, quiet hours are from 10p-7a so there was a bit of reprieve. There are only outhouses and coin operated showers ($1/2min!), and all of them were along the far side of the campground, which meant a 10 min walk just to use the facilities. Lastly, the staff is very grumpy and unhelpful. Would not recommend this to anyone who doesn't like sleeping with strangers!

We came here for camping and also to check out the caves here. It cost $30 to $50 a night to camp…read more The campsite was busy on the weekend and not so much on the weekdays. The campground is quite big. The outhouse was not bad. We also explored the caves. The tours take 2 hours approx. You can do a self-guided tour but if you do than you don't get to go inside past the gates in the caves Note that in the areas there are lots of dangerous wild animals. We heard that there was a deer that got taken out by a cayote.

We went on the guided 3 hour "Ice Age Adventure" tour. Our tour guide was amazing!! She was very educational with the history, facts, and preservation efforts. She was experienced, attentive and overall fun to be with. We explored a series of marble passages and crystal caverns created by the power of "The Ice Age". The experience was amazing! We were crawling and schootching through tight passage ways. We even climbed an underground waterfall!! Wow, the amazing crystals formations were breathtaking. My pictures do not do them justice; you simply just have to see it for yourself!! Dress warm, as it does get a little chilly inside the cave, wear boots or sturdy shoes and know you are going to get a little wet! Take a waterproof durable camera! Also, if possible some gloves can be very helpful. They provide the helmets with a light. Hydrate and have a balanced meal, you will be hiking to the cave as well as climbing and crawling inside. They offer an education center featuring geology information, a small museum and fossil display. They have a small theater, so visitors can learn more about this unique environment without having to enter the caves. Snacks and souvenirs can also be purchased. Other above-ground opportunities include a self-guided walk through the amazing surface geology on the new "Phil Whitfield Interpretive Trail" that highlights interesting surface features explained in a self-guiding brochure. The drive to Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park takes you on an unpaved road for a few miles; don't be worried, it is part of the adventure!! Great price for the experience, this is a MUST DO when visiting Beautiful Vancouver Island!!

Mussel Beach is a trek - 20 minutes down a gravel road once you head south towards Ucuelet, which means only real keeners are camping out. There's no drinking water or electrical hookups but there are hot, hot showers for $3 a time. Firewood can also be purchased at $10 a wheel barrel from the office where someone actually lives all year round. There are an assortment of campsites to choose from - and after walking through the campground, I'd have to say that one with an ocean view is the best, and of course, the most expensive at $45 a night. Each campsite has a different flavour with everything from driftwood bars (yes, as in serving up some of your own drinks) to seats carved right into fallen logs. There are private spots that are great for a couple of people, or large double spots where tents could fill every nook and cranny. Mussel Beach is also well known for a music festival that they host every July, but for me it's all about the secluded spot, a view of the ocean and a campfire - no campfire bans here during the summer either, which equaled mountains of smores galore!

Stayed at Mussel Beach last week for 8 nights, and wow. Spectacular location looking right out into…read morethe pacific ocean. Quite off the "beaten path" - an hour from Tofino and 30ish minutes from Ucluelet, meaning only people who are truly into camping or the outdoors seem to stay here. It's also a quiet, relaxed atmosphere with amazing beachfront sites, like the one we stayed in. You can also book small cabins and sites that are more secluded/sheltered in the bushes and forest. Hot showers, tho they cost $3/use. Gates close at 10pm sharp, which we found frustrating. If you arrive back late, you need to park down the road and walk in. If you stay at Mussel Beach, be prepared for a bit of adventure. You do need to watch for bears, cougars and wolves, so don't be wandering around the surrounding forest without proper gear and bear spray. However, you'll also see a lot of eagles, possibly some deer and LOTS of ocean life. The road to get to the campground is 20-30 minutes down a pretty rough dirt/gravel road. What pushed this from a 4-star to a 5-star for me, though, was the friendliness and hospitality of the hosts, who appear to live on-site. When hubby and I arrived, it was pissing rain and very windy. The hosts offered us a more sheltered site for the one night, and in the morning, set up a canopy for us and some other campers to take shelter in. Because it was so nasty out, the host gave us a wheelbarrow full of free firewood (usually $10 a barrel) so we could keep warm. Overall, if you are looking to fully disconnect and spend some time with nature and other camping enthusiasts, this is a great place to do it. Just be prepared for the bumpy drive and bring your tarps and bear spray!

My husband and I camped here originally in July 2019 and had a fabulous time. The park was busy,…read morebut the maintenance was meticulous. There was even fluffy white towels in the spotless bathrooms. We did get moved from the campsite we originally booked, but moved to a better, oceafront site, without added cost to us. Fast forward to April 2024, we decide to book 2 nights, one going up Island, and another one week later going down Island. Knowing there was a chance that we may be moved sites by management, we paid $10 extra for a site guarantee. When we arrived, the park was a ghost town. It looked unkempt, with just a few over-winter trailers, and 1 other camper... Set-up in the site we reserved. We went to the office, which was closed, and called the number indicated. The owner was currently in Alberta, and told us to pick another spot. I asked for my $10 site guarantee to be refunded, and was ridiculed. Really? She asked. It's only $10, she said. But the whole point of the $10 was to guarantee our spot, I replied. No response. Later, we realized that no one had given us the code for the bathroom door, and when we texted her and asked, she ignored that as well. My husband is a chatty guy and talked to a local to ask what happened to the park between 2019 and 2024 and he said that the owner's son was originally running the place, but she fired him because he wasn't making enough profit. So there you go. The park is profit above comfort and customer service. We cancelled the second night and will never return.

I've stayed here multiple times with my family and have nothing but good things to say!…read more The location is superb. A nice sandy beach, a couple minutes walk to the provincial park, 10 minute drive to the local store for groceries. Every night we'd sit outside and watch the sun set. Fantastic! The house has been done up very nicely for a guesthouse. Gorgeous hardwood floors and counter tops. Beachwood has been incorporated into the design. Nice, comfy furniture. It's a very cool island getaway. We only briefly saw our hosts when they came over to pick up a cheque and drop off an extra set of keys for us. They live on the other side of the island so we had the whole place to ourself!! All in all, one of the better places i've stayed on Denman Island (and in the Comox Valley). I'd highly recommend checking it out! Mitchell
