Nile Point - Oceanfront Camping

5 sites ¡ Lodging, Tents20 acres ¡ Sunshine Coast, BC
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, and a paddleboard. 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. There's free parking at the pickup/drop off location in Egmont. 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. 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 near Francis Point Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on a journey to Francis Point Provincial Park, where rugged coastlines and serene forest trails await your adventurous spirit. Traverse the winding paths, gaze upon the stunning ocean vistas, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature. While the park does not offer camping, its day-use areas provide the perfect setting for picnics, bird watching, and soaking in the coastal splendor.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Francis Point Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the weather is most conducive for hiking and exploring. Winter can be harsh, with trails less accessible due to rain and potential storms, making some areas of the park less inviting.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's official website for any trail closures or safety advisories before your visit.
  • Wear appropriate footwear for rugged terrain and bring layers to adapt to changing weather conditions.
  • While exploring, maintain a respectful distance from any wildlife you encounter.
  • There are no camping facilities available, but day-use areas are perfect for a scenic picnic.
  • Remember to pack out all your trash, as the park aims to maintain its natural beauty.
