The best camping in Strathcona with fishing

·

If you’re looking to cast a line in Strathcona, you’ll find over a dozen tent camping options where fishing is front and centre. The area’s known for salmon runs and quiet lakes, with average nightly rates around $45 and some spots as low as $35. Pitch your tent steps from trout streams or near forest trails—campfires are allowed, and most sites offer toilets and showers. Favourites include Field Sites & Secluded Tent Sites (123 reviews), Peacock Camping (Vancouver Island) (63 reviews), and Salmon Point on Nature Trail (39 reviews). You’ll spot eagles, wake up to quiet mornings, and have easy access to hiking, wildlife-watching, and swimming, all within reach of your tent.

Escape to Quadra Island, away from crowds. Enjoy endless vistas and exclusive access to the calming embrace of the ocean and a short drive to pristine lakes, with nearby deer and human-made trails guiding you through untouched beauty. Experience the charm of a free-range farm where our feathered friends eagerly interact with guests. Committed to a serene atmosphere, our property is alcohol, drug, smoking, vaping, and nudity-free. In addition across of the yurt we offer an RV pad. Please note: We are located in a truly natural setting, where the forest is alive and thriving. Bugs and mosquitoes are not sprayed, and creatures like mice and harmless, non-poisonous snakes are simply part of the forest’s circle of life. Very occasionally, nature might find its way into the yurt—it is, after all, a well-equipped and cozy “luxury tent.” We do our best to keep curious visitors outside, but staying here is very much an immersive nature experience.

We have taken some time to improve our location and now offer 1 full serviced site and 1 tenting site. Sayward has such a variety of outdoor gems to explore. Fishing, kayaking, hiking, exploring waterfalls, lakes and river oasis’s. You are truly immersed in nature no matter which direction you choose. Having your base here you come back at the end of your day still immersed in the beauty of the surrounding land. We do have a ton of wildlife so please be aware of this. Elk are frequent visitors (and not fans of dogs). Cougar, wolves and bear have also been around these parts for centuries and still continue to visit. Please contain garbage to decrease chances of human/wildlife conflict.
