Terrible experience with our stay here from start to finish. After multiple frustrating email…read morecommunications, we were moved against our request from the ocean front site we specifically booked for my husband's birthday to a much less desirable and not level forested site because the caretaker thought our 16' minivan would be too big for the parking spot (it was not). We arrived to find the campground half empty but still assigned a tight space in between two loud RV groups that yelled and partied until 3am. Funny that the quiet hours seemed to be strictly enforced by email but not actually regulated by anyone in person. This resulted in a terrible nights sleep that could have been avoided if our original reservation had been honored. We also found old trash bags behind the site that had been torn up by animals and transients sleeping on the beach went we went for a walk in the morning. This campground stay had great potential to be enjoyable because of the convenient location from the ferry and easy beach access, but poor management and the rude aggressive tone of the caretaker completely ruined our experience. Two stars only because we saw a whale and sea lions from the beach, otherwise I do not recommend staying here.

My friend recommended to come here for beach camping. He has been here before and loved it…read more This is my first time beach camping and it is a good introduction before going bush camping. The place is organized, with clear markers on the camp site. There are two washroom facilities on both upper and lower levels. The washroom has toilets, sinks and hot shower (token operated, $1 for 4 mins). Get the tokens when checking in. Also get the key to the usb charging locker. There is also laundry facilities. $3 per load for washer, same for dryer. Have loonies with you as it only takes that and there is no change machine inside. The place is safe and pretty secure. You need the key to enter the washroom and laundry room. There is a common wash area to wash your utensils. I love the close proximity to the beach. There is a playground, volleyball court, pier and a beach trail. Beautiful sunset by the waters and we saw moon jellyfish, seals and sea otters. Eagles too. Go with someone who knows camping and learn from them what to do so that you will know what to do in future. Setting up the tent, starting fire and bbqing. We were lucky there was no fire ban in place when we were there so we could have the campfire to make s'mores. Highly recommended.

You could park at the campground which is on the upper part or park by the road to enter the lower part.

Fern covered ground. Stream and foam by the banks. Tall trees. Spiders and their webs. Slugs. A good place for hikes and to get in tune with nature. No washroom facilities in the lower part. The great outdoors is your washroom.

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.

I've been coming here for 10+ years we come back every year! Rain or shine. The sunshine coast is…read morethe best, and a big part of my joy is this campground. It's close to everything. You can get groceries, get a tan, swim, or go to a nearby restaurant for some yummy food. This is SUPER convenient especially if you're unfit to drive and/or wanna enjoy the environment. It's nice to have all this within walking distance. ADDITIONALLY, if you are too shy to swim at the beautiful nearby beach then you could enjoy the campground's pool :) it's kid friendly and convenient to have nearby your campsite. The staff is awesome! Everyone has always been super nice and friendly. They are very lighthearted and make you feel at home. This is exactly the camping environment I'd like to be in (all summer long)! The campsites vary in size, which appeases different type of campers. Whether you're with your family, or taking it easy with just one gal pal, you can book a variety of campsites. You can book a smaller scenic campsite, if you're just staying over for one night. OR, you could book a bigger campsite, if you and your big family wanna stay for 5+ days. I've always camped here for 5+ days, so I've booked the bigger campsites with my family. It's nice having those options :) The campsites are beea-uti-fulll! So scenic, and depending on what site you book you can hear the relaxing melody of the stream. It's super helpful if you struggle to sleep at night, as it distracts you and reminds you of the beauty of nature. Overall, it's a beautiful experience. Cheers!

The Creekside Campground & RV Park offers everything you need for a joyful get-away and camping…read moretrip. You check in at the office, where you can also buy wood for your fireplace. Next to the office is a laundry room for cleaning your clothes. The Campsite even offers a Pool! (Open from 9am - 9pm) The area itself is not too big, but big enough that you will have enough privacy on your reserved spot. There are some RV places with outlets and some more tent-sites where you can park your car, pop up your tent and enjoy yourself and a nice BBQ on your fireplace. When we were there, a ice cream truck came by in the evening which was a really nice thing. The Creek marks one side of the campground, but because of the salmon coming back to reproduce it's not allowed to step in/ wade/ bath/ play in it. But that's okay, I mean the "big water" is not far and you can go swimming in one of the many bays this region has to offer (or the pool ;) ). They have a designated security person for emergencies and patrols at night, so you can feel safe all the time. I really enjoyed how friendly everyone was, that there are so many big trees on site and you have everything you need for a nice stay. This is definitely a place to come back to.

We stayed at this campground for $29 per night, with an additional fee for a second vehicle,…read morebringing the total to $41, which we put into an envelope and deposited at the site. We chose a double site, which was ideal, and appreciated that it operated on a first-come, first-served basis. Many people book online but often do not cancel if they are no-shows. Although the website showed no availability, there were plenty of empty sites when we arrived. The bathrooms are clean and spacious, which was a plus. However, the amenities need improvement. The power outlets did not work, the taps only provided cold water, and the showers never got truly hot. The water was lukewarm at best. Since it was cold and rainy during our stay, a hot shower would have made a big difference. The showers operate on a push-button system, delivering water in short 10-second bursts, which was frustrating. The windows are left open, making the bathroom area uncomfortably cold. Toilet seat was like a sheet of ice in the morning. On the positive side, the campground has a large number of sites and is conveniently close to the beach.

A nice, well maintained provincial park for camping, with a busy day-use area…read more This beautiful nature setting is just minutes out of Sechelt. The campsites are a good size, with newly painted picnic tables that are in excellent shape. I expected the camping area to be busier, so we made reservations, however, it wasn't even half full when we arrived for weekend camping. We had to share the communal fire pit (with convenient benches in place around the outside) the first evening, but had it to ourselves the second evening. We didn't have any problems with sharing, since the clean air bylaw is the reason, plus the park provides the wood. I was shocked (and then happy I hadn't bought any in town) when we realized the wood was brought over each day by the PFOs (Park Facility Operators). The PFOs were friendly, and helped us to avoid an extra car fee but letting us know the other vehicle could just park across the road from the park on the highway. Score. We had a double site, which was super awesome for our needs, but you definitely wouldn't want to be in one if you didn't know the people on the other side. This campground is suitable for camping wusses, since there are showers and real flush toilets available. Otherwise, use the outhouses and the cold water. The water from the taps available around the site is wonderful. There is no need to boil it or to buy water. The park is on the municipal system. Those wanting to go down to the water should realize that the day-use area does get very busy, and seems to be a popular destination for families and gatherings with ankle-biters. Our attempts to find non-tarp covered shelter from the rain at the covered tables were thwarted by a child's birthday party. A sunny day following meant the beach was also packed, and tour groups with kayaks were setting up. There is a nice, short trail through the trees and over a creek to get to the estuary. This area is peaceful, and if you look closely you can see salmon fry seeking shelter in the back eddies of the river. The beach seems to be a favourite for clam diggers, as well. I had a quick chat with a friendly BC Parks ranger on my way out of the day-use area.

Still being prepped for the season, I got the grand tour of the various "furnished camping" sites: a yurt of sorts, a cabin, A trailer, and soon to be deluxe tents that you don't need to bring. Perfect for people coming to the area wanting to travel light. What appeals to me is the variety of options,.. not everyone wants a trailer but a through cyclist can use a tent knowing their next stop may be in Powell river and they didn't want to carry so much just for the middle part of their trip (as was the case for me). I see the potential of this place expanding and the small touches are evident an on the way. For example at night there is plenty of solar powered LED lighting to make it a bit magical as they line the access trails and hand off the outhouses.
