Woohoo. Camping season is almost upon us. Last year we explored up to parksville and then over to Ucluelet and Tofino. This year our intention is to make a great circle and go from the Okanagan to the island, up the island and take the ferry up to Prince Rupert, then over to Prince George, then down through Barkerville etc and back to our home in the Okanagan via Kamloops. Alternatively if we are feeling up to it and weather is good we may carry on from Prince George to Jasper.

Our question is what Interesting places can you suggest we visit and camp at between parksville and port hardy on the island. We have lots of time. Any suggestions are welcome. We have a small combo as per the picture so we can get in anywhere. Serviced or unserviced camping is fine. We have a growing list of places but are looking to add to the list. We are avid hikers and in good shape.

Thanks in advance all.

Miracle Beach PP is nice, and then Elk Falls in Campbell River. Campsites north of that are mainly on dirt roads and not that numerous.

Towing with a Tesla M3?

I believe the park is called Brown's Bay, a few miles north of Campbell River.

The strait gets real narrow. If you were a decent golfer, you could almost drive a ball from your pad onto the deck of the cruise ships! (I'd advise against this thou

).
