The almost infinite number of paddling trip options out from this inn are all filled with stunning scenery and wildlife spottings. Paddled right by a black bear foraging on the shoreline. The cabins are very clean, colorful, comfortable, and well stocked for cooking or grilling the food you bring. The innkeepers are great people, helpful, and are very interesting to talk with. If you're driving, you'll need to take a short boat ride to get to it and back from Telegraph Cove. The ride is fun, laced with good conversation, has beautiful scenery all around, will take all of your gear and kayaks, and doubles as an excellent whale watching excursion as it crosses the Johnstone Strait and environs.

Paddler's Inn is absolutely amazing! Such a luxurious way to finish our trip after camping in tents…read morefor nearly a week. I'll begin by stating Bruce and Josee are absolutely wonderful hosts. They were responsive to all our questions as we planned our 7-day kayak trip almost a year in advance of our stay and were kind enough to accommodate us for an extra night at the last minute when we changed our schedule to permit a little more time in the area. Bruce picked us up in his boat promptly along with another couple and dropped us off on an island of our choice to begin our adventure. We spent 4 days paddling the archipelago before our rendezvous at Paddler's Inn for a gorgeous and tranquil finale. We stayed 3 nights in total, two of them in the Cliffside Cabin, which we absolutely loved. Bruce and Josee have spent decades developing their property into the attractive getaway it is. They have a couple trails you can follow to a sizeable lake, a cliffside lookout, and a scenic sunset view with a nearby bench. If you are eager for some creature comforts or souvenirs, you can paddle a short distance around the point to the local store/mail house on your way to Bill Proctor's house/museum. We cannot recommend Paddler's Inn enough! They can accommodate both large and small groups and they recently added a central gathering lounge out on the water with a roof and propane fireplace. We had a chance to get to know some other paddlers as they began their adventures, though those seeking solitude can easily find space to not be disturbed. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area and look forward to visiting with Bruce and Josee again. Don't think twice about planning your stay at Paddler's Inn! - Tyler and Brett

Bere Point Regional Park is beautifully situated along Queen Charlotte Strait about six kilometers…read morefrom Sointula and the ferry to Port McNeill. The park is centered around a primitive campground fronting a long stretch of beach that is a prime location for whale watching. The edge of the campground is also the start of the Beautiful Bay Trail. This review focuses on the campground. The campground has roughly 30 campsites, about half of which are considered waterfront sites. As of 2016 waterfront sites are $20 and non waterfront sites are $16. Non waterfront sites are unremarkable (except for their proximity to the beach) and I'd avoid them because the view from this part of the island is awesome and you want as much of it as possible. I'd also pass on site 12a because it's removed from the beach. (Water view rather than waterfront would be a more appropriate description of 12a.) As you can see in the helpful campground map, sites 1 through 11 have a road between the site and the beach. This isn't a huge deal since the road is pretty quiet, but it's worth keeping in mind and being prepared for, especially if you have little kids who will be going back and forth. (Also note that sites 5 and 8 aren't considered waterfront even though they're along the water; this seems to be because the views are obstructed by trees and brush.) The numbered waterfront sites have a different feel than the lettered waterfront sites, largely because the numbered sites are set in the trees while the lettered sites are a little more open. My preference is for the lettered sites, especially A, B, D and E, although I'd also consider sites 10 or 11. Site 11 is a pull through site with some neat quirks that the other sites don't have (chairs fashioned out of driftwood, etc.) We stayed in site B and loved it. B has an old rickety woodshed that the kids played on and that we stored some of our stuff in to keep it dry. One downside to site B is that the beach access is very unstable and I wouldn't use it if falling made me nervous. A few other things to keep in mind: this is a primitive campground with no potable water (indeed, there was no fresh water at all when we were there) or hookups. There was also no cell service (Rogers/Sprint). The campground itself isn't manicured and has a bit of an untidy feel, with cut brush left where it fell. (This is a plus, in my mind, as I don't love landscaped campgrounds.) Speaking of brush, between the campground and the beach there is 5-10 feet of brush before the sand. If left unchecked it would quickly obstruct the water view from all of the sites; hopefully they stay on top of it. Finally, the campground host was excellent: friendly, helpful and full of good ideas. In short, when staying at Bere Point I'd pick a waterfront site, probably B, E, 10, or 11, although most waterfront sites offered similar views and privacy. Be sure to pack your binoculars and bring a kayak if you have one.
