Every campsite has a view of the ocean as well as spots on the ocean. Traditional Finnish sauna is included as are showers, kitchen & freezer space. It also provides electricity and water if you need it for your RV. Can't recommend it enough!!! If you kayak, Mitchel Bay had guaranteed humpback sightings during our visit... they were so close you could see them by the shore! Looking forward to future stays!

Room came with a coffee machine complimentary coffee and tea. The cabins are offset from the camping area and RV traffic are not routed by the cabins. The cabin was roomy and private bath, and parking in front of the unit. Nice kitchenette, TV and dependable hot water. Privacy was there, no noise from neighbors or from the highway. Guessing the cabins are 1-3 years old and are in excellent condition, like brand new. Staff is excellent very helpful at check-in and checkout. Laundromat worked great, taking 5 loons for one load wash and dry.

Unfortunately we had some bad weather and our guides consideration for our safety meant we had to end early. The biggest hitch was a group of guests who behaved in an entitled manner abusing the kayaks, appearing the be disinterested in the "slow" details of the guides historical education and generally disrespecting the guide. They looked after themselves and left the group early and probably left no tip. To the guides I say please remember those of us who appreciated your hard work and didn't blame you for the weather. I highly recommend this tour.

This quiet…read morecampground has ten fully serviced grassy sites as well as space available for dry campers and tenters. Stunning views paired with a helpful knowledgeable manager Jacqui and a motto of "catering to the unique" make this campground an absolute gem. Monique (owner) or Jacqui will work with you to be flexible to your specific needs and make your stay enjoyable by providing masses of information about interesting hiking sites, best fishing spots and intriguing ATV trails or pointing out places of interest in Port Alice. They lend out kayaks to facilitate exploration of Neroutsos Inlet or one of the many lakes nearby. Attitude of everyone involved is a big plus here. The park has been recently purchased by a new owner who is busy upgrading. Notable is that the grounds and bathrooms/showers are very clean. Garbage bin and recycling is easily accessible. Leashed dogs and inside cats are welcome. Port Alice Ocean Front RV is fully fenced and the gate is locked at night. There is a full time manager, but if not in the office a sign advises new arrivals to pick their own site. All sites have picnic tables. A freezer is available to meet the needs of successful fishermen. Extra parking for boats and toy haulers etc. is available. Marina is one minute from the park. No wi-fi on site but it is available at the local library and the community centre. No cable supplied and we were too busy to try off-air or satellite. Food and supplies are available five minutes away at the grocery store, liquor store, hardware store or gas station. We tried out the Calm Waters Café at the local legion for breakfast and met many friendly locals. Lunch at the deli/grill in the grocery store was delicious as was the "Frigon Islander" from the local Pizza Place restaurant.

Cape Scott is my favourite place in the world. Really, it is. I have a lot of great memories…read moreassociated with this gem of a park. And even during a torrential downpour, this place takes my breath away. And not just because of the cold. I've been here four times over the past 10 years, and most recently this summer. The park has expanded since my first soggy hike to Nel's Bight, and now includes the North Coast Trail. A rugged, raw trail that I can imagine is similar to what the West Coast Trail was like many years ago. This trail is not for the inexperienced. It is rough. And full of wildlife. The main trail, that heads from the parking lot located 30 min from Holberg, takes you nearly 18 km to Nel's Bight, which is a stunning beach over a km long. Here you can see whales feeding in the kelp beds, and find sand dollars (to look at, not to take) dotting the beach. Carry on from here to the west for even more beautiful beaches (Guise Bay is amazing) and a trip to the lighthouse manned by the wonderful Harvey and Todd (say hello and bring them some beef jerky!). For the adventurous, you can head east and hike to Nissen Bight and carry on the the NCT. Wildlife reigns dominant in this park. You are the visitors. The bears, cougars and wolves are the residents. Take the necessary precautions and be prepared for an encounter with the furry kind. Shouting "here kitty kitty" while rounding blind corners is a great way to psych yourself up and warn on-coming wildlife of your presence. For those that are less serious about hiking and don't like hauling 40 lbs of gear into the wilderness, there is San Josef Bay, which is also incredibly stunning. The beach here is actually the nicest, but it is busier, and does not get the spectacular sunsets that Nel's Bight does. But there are the super cool sea stacks, and an incredible beach. The drive to Cape Scott from Nanaimo is an arduous one. I recommend staying overnight in Port Hardy or Port McNeill so you can get an early start on the trail. There are shuttles that you can arrange if you plan on doing the one-way NCT, starting at either the San Josef parking lot near Holberg, or Shushartie Bay (by boat taxi). Note: The parking lot is notorious for break-ins. Please don't leave ANYTHING in your car. Also, food smells are an issue since bears are abundant. They will also attempt to break in to your vehicle if it smells like food. And they are less likely to just smash and grab. They will eff your car up. Review #300! FTR #40!
