It was a clean, quiet campsite with friendly people. Clean outhouses. Conveniently located to both Tofino, The pacific Rim national park and the town of Ucluelet.

Friendly atmosphere. Convenient location. 30amps and water satisfy most needs. Plan your Sani-dumps elsewhere. Cool food truck options.

The campsite is nice, it’s small and right between ucluelet and Tofino. Each rv site is walled by trees so you get a bit of privacy.
The RV site has a socket (large appliance socket, for for RV, but you need an adapter to plug a household appliance into it). It also has a water hookup, but it’s low to the ground so you can’t just use it as a spigot: you need a short hose. The ground is hard rocks of course, so if you put a tent there, bring padding or a mat. It has a picnic table on site, which is nice.
The bathrooms are portable potties, inside a little wooden shelter. No water in them. Across the street is the visitor center, and it has a men’s, a women’s, and a special needs washroom open 24 hours.
There’s leopard slugs all over the place, so be careful where you step. You do hear highway noises, but only during the day: at night the traffic dies, so it’s quiet.

Great tent spot, close to the road so the traffic in the evening is noisy, but it quieted down eventually! Porta-potty toilets, running water for fill ups, and close to Tofino and Ucluelet!

Well loved our stay. Simple and everything you need to spend the night. Food trucks, surf shop with rentals, bathrooms, and water. simple and to the point. Days are full of action so it’s nice to find such a simple place for our home base.

Was exactly what was advertised, was essentially a camping hostel. Perfect place for an overnight tent and going surfing for the day.
