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.

You can't get further away than Mussel Beach - which makes for a perfect "powering down" time…read morewithout the loss of cell reception of course. 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!

Labour day weekend was approaching, and my lady friends and I grew worried that the weather was…read moregoing to be miserable for our camping adventure that we had planned for months. We had second thoughts about what was to be an epic time, to never-leaving-the-campground waiting-to-go-home sort of situation. Regardless of how the weather could have been (it ended up being sunshiny most of the time!) Surf Junction made our trip to Ucluelet enjoyable and memorable. The staff were super friendly, the hot tub was bumpin' in the eve, and the camping spaces were adequately sized. With our car full of beer, shelter, and food, plus four happy bodies, we cruised the winding roads from Nanaimo to Ukee awaiting our exciting arrival. Upon entering the main area, the staff at check-in were chatty and informative. Later on, they do check your camp ground and have a curfew of sorts, around 11 I believe. They want to keep the noise level respectful, and the earliness of the curfew was not too much of a problem because we would have been drinking all day and/or tired from the day's activities. Located just off the main highway, Surf Junction is also close by to the beach, by about a ten minute drive. Tofino is actually quite a bit further, and has become quite touristy so we were glad to stick to Ukee. The Junction offers surf lessons! For $80, they provide transport, equipment, and a super cool and very patient instructor, who in our case was Tanner (he was awesome). The gals and I had a wicked day of shreddin' some gnarly waves at Wickanninnish Beach, thanks to Tanner. The other guests varied from families with young children, to some wild ones escaping for the weekend to get rowdy. Quite the mix of people gathered at the hot tub area, there were always some interesting characters to socialize with. Campsites are equipped with a fire pit and picnic table. All you need! Plus lots of trees from which to hang tarps and clotheslines. The prices were reasonable, and the facilities were great, considering you're camping. The showers do cost money, but understandably, since hot water is expensive and hard to come by, aaaand who cares, you're camping haha! I would highly reccommend this spot for younger groups of friends, we're talking 20's and 30's, since the atmosphere is something you would definitely dig. Be sure to check out Pina Print shop in town, they advertise at the main desk at the Junction, was totally worth the visit :) Happy camping!!

This may just be the best place on earth. It definitely is when you luck into a sunny day. Lots of…read morecampgrounds on the west coast are privately owned and only exist to milk the tourists of cash by cramming as many people as possible into tight sites. Green Point is the exact opposite. It has spacious, private sites, well maintained facilities, friendly staff, and is centrally located for exploring one of the most scenic and beautiful parks in Canada. But really, the reason to go to Green Point is its proximity to Long Beach. Long Beach is the Omega Beach, the template from which all other beaches were wrought. A ~15 kilometer long crescent of fine white sand that faces the open Pacific, Long Beach is perfection. Surf, skimboard, make sand castles, run with your dog, watch the sunset, build towering beach fires, and enjoy a completely unimpeded view of the stars at night (at least in the summer, when it doesn't rain as much). Even when it rains, it's easy to take solace in being in one of the world's few temperate rainforests. No services, RV accessible, ~$25 per night per site. Book as early as possible because the place is always full all summer long. Reservations open for the year on March 21st.

If I were looking to book a vehicle accessible campsite at Green Point Campground I would try to…read moreget a high numbered site (say #67 or higher) on the outside (i.e. ocean side) of the loop road. These sites are the furthest from the highway (especially the higher numbered sites) and the closet to the ocean (but expect very limited/no water views). In contrast, I would try to avoid sites #32-#60, especially those on the outside of the loop road, because of their proximity to the highway. Other than those two suggestions, most of the sites seem similar in terms of privacy (decent) and size (fairly large), although there is of course some variation. With regards to the walk-in sites, we stayed in #11 and I thought that was a good choice, although it wasn't anything special. The walk-in sites are on the small side and some are close together, such as W13 and W12. W10 and W11 stand out only because they're on a tiny spur trail and therefore have less foot traffic passing by. W10 has a hint of a view, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. Overall I was a bit disappointed with the Green Point Campground. Apart from it's proximity to a cool beach it's a pretty standard campground. I didn't notice any campsites with a good view or especially nice setting, and some of the vehicle sites are practically on top of the highway. In the walk-in area they've established a number of "equipped" campsites, which means they come with a tent already set up (on a tent pad) and some other equipment, all for triple the price. Oddly, even though the campground was supposedly full every night we were there, these sites appeared to go unused. That's a shame. On the plus side, the facilities in the vehicle accessible area are new and quite nice, and the group campsite has a great setting in the forest. I don't value either of those things too highly, but they are positives. Finally, Pacific Rim National Park entrance fees* are in addition to camping fees. This is pretty standard for national parks and is something to keep in mind when planning your trip. When you add the entrance fees to the camping fees some of the private campgrounds in the Tofino area might pencil out a better deal. Of course this assumes you wouldn't pay the entrance fee if you weren't camping there and many visitors to the area still pay the fee. Frankly, while Long Beach is pretty, I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to see it again in the future. There are plenty of cool beaches in the area outside of the park that are free. *Canada's National Parks are set to have free admission for all of 2017 to celebrate the country's 150th birthday.
