    Seal Bay RV Park - Separated from the main area by trees, two lovely tenting spots are side by side in this photo.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
