Black Creek is a small town located on the eastern shore of North Central Vancouver Island, home to stunning beaches and outdoor recreation. At nearby Saratoga Beach, the tide goes out for over a quarter of a mile, creating a hard-packed oceanfront playground perfect for children to safely explore. Miracle Provincial Park is close by with a picnic area overlooking the water and a series of lovely trails winding through lush forest. You can visit the Oyster River Hatchery, check out the seals and sea lions in Seal Bay Regional Park, do some saltwater fishing for salmon, or even rent a go-cart and race around the Saratoga Speedway, or just watch others do it.

Welcome to Goats and Boats, 40 acres of poplar trees planted in straight(ish) rows about 25 years ago. Since then the alders and the evergreens have started to join the party in a big way. The property is a work in progress with a little more space opened up each year. We don't have a lot for amenities, but we have quiet space in nature and animals to visit on your way to/from the outhouse. If you are wanting quiet spaces in nature, that is what we have. We have some grassy areas for tents and RVs. Pets are welcome, but they need to be leashed in respect for the goats' peace and freedom. We are on a gravel road about 2 km from the popular Coombs market (with goats on the roof!). We are a young-ish professional couple with an ever increasing number of very friendly Nigerian dwarf goats, some rabbits, some ducks and two pigs. The number of animals is subject to vary without notice! So ask us before booking if it's important to you. But there are always goats roaming the yard, rabbits running about daily. Deer show up occasionally. As you can see in the photos, our property is more wild. It is not a manicured park but we do try to take good care of it and we hope you will too. There are a lot of activities in the area including go-karts, hiking in provincial parks (Englishman River Falls Parks, Qualicum River Falls Park). Mt Arrowsmith is a challenging hike about 30 minutes drive away. Cathedral Grove is about 20 minutes away. There is lovely swimming and great beaches at Parksville and Qualicum, and much more.

Hi, my name is Dave. My family and I would like to welcome you to Nile Point, a secluded campsite located on 20 acres of privately owned, oceanfront property on Nelson Island, BC. I consider it the closest thing to paradise. The first you'll need to know about this property is that it's only accessible by boat. This is what makes the campsite so secluded and peaceful. Transportation to and from the island is included with your stay. The stunning 15 minute boat ride to and from Nile Point is one of the many things that makes this a truly unique experience. The second thing you'll need to know is that we offer TWO SITES on the property, a 10x16 TENT PLATFORM and a OCEANFRONT CANVAS TENT WITH ENSUITE (NEW!) with king size bed, in-tent ensuite bathroom and fully stocked outdoor kitchen with potable water, bar fridge and BBQ We have one canoe, one one-person kayak, a two-person kayak, and some paddleboards. Bring your own water exploring devices if you wish. Our beach is rocky (it ain't a sandy beach!), so bring your good water/rock shoes! This is a great place to stay and explore if you love the wild. It's off the grid, so if you want to unplug from devices and do nothing but relax or play in the ocean and explore the forest, it's perfect. That said, there is cell reception should you need it and a solar charger if you need to charge your devices. Egmont offers a pub, a fancy restaurant, and a charming convenience store with wi-fi. We can take you in to town during your stay for an additional charge of 50$ per direction. We've secured exclusive moorage at a private dock in Egmont. This is where you will park. This private parking includes secure gated access, closer proximity to our accommodations, and stunning waterfront surroundings New Dock Location: 6156 Maple Road Gate Code: 7051 (if broken, just open and close by hand) Do not park at the government wharf in Egmont. Please arrive at the above address. Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have about the property. We hope to see you this summer! Dave

The best camping in Miracle Beach Provincial Park, BC guide

Overview

About

Few family holiday spots beat the Comox Valley’s Miracle Beach Provincial Park, perfect for sandcastle building, swimming, and lazing on the shore. Miracle Beach features spacious private campsites, several with RV hookups, group camping facilities, a playground, an amphitheater with BC Parks ranger programs, hot showers, a large picnic area overlooking the water, and a series of level forest trails. At low tide, rich tide pools appear on the beach, perfect for observing a marine life. Near the BC Parks office at the park entrance is a viewing platform and fish weir, both of which offer an opportunity to view the Black Creek, particularly in spring and fall when salmon are spawning. Miracle Beach is also a good place for birdwatching, and from the beach, visitors have excellent views out over the Strait of Georgia.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for ocean views: Miracle Beach Campground features dozens of tent camping sites and RV spots near the beach.
  • Best alternative: Saratoga Beach is just next door to Miracle Beach and features various resorts and well-equipped RV campsites.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Make your plans early to reserve a campsite in Miracle Beach Provincial Park. You can reserve campsites two months to the date of your arrival, beginning in March.
  2. All campsite, group site, and group picnic shelter reservations must be made by phone or online at Discover Camping, BC Parks’ reservation portal. When reservations are not available all campsites function as first-come, first-served. 
  3. Be sure to check seasonal opening and closing dates.

When to go

Miracle Beach is busiest in July and August, during the warm summer months. Consider visiting in September or October, when school is back in session, or in early spring as the weather warms up again. The campground is open from early March to November, with reservable dates starting at the end of April to September. 

Know before you go

  • Miracle Beach Provincial Park is on the eastern side of Vancouver Island, on the waterfront midway between Courtenay and Campbell River, both of which offer amenities, shopping, and attractions.
  • From the Lower Mainland, Miracle Beach can be accessed by BC Ferries service from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo. 
  • Miracle Beach Provincial Park doesn’t have wifi, but cell phone service is strong.
  • Most campsites have fire pits, but firewood must be purchased at the park office or offsite. Fire bans are frequent in the summer, due to drought and the risk of wildfires.
