Default Camping - Vancouver island - Tofino/Ucluelet

Hey folks,

Looking for advice... After a decade, it's time for a real vacation

Planning to head out to check out Pacific Rim national park, problem is - we're going to be arriving over the labour day long weekend (scheduling; can't leave until friday night). And the mutt's coming with - which eliminates most of the national park campgrounds...

Any recommendations on places to camp that are more likely to be still available / reservable? Or places to avoid like the plague?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

whats the mutt got to do with not staying in a provincial campground? won't find any national parks here with campgrounds.

anyays there are a coupld places right in tofino, probably to lait in the year to get a site but worth a try. as for provincal campgrounds, nothing real close to tofino but there are a few befor you get into the pacific rim. so it is very limited camping out there so start calling and cross you fingers.

here are the 3 out there

According to parks canada - there are 3 campgrounds in pacific rim - but none allow dogs... (Your site refers to greenpoint - which is one of them) Crystal cove won't take reservations for the long weekend. Bella pacifica - Haven't heard back by phone or email yet..

I would highly recomend Toquart Bay. They have a forest service site there and I would think there would be sites avaliable labour day. Dog's are o.k. It's right in the broken Islands, very well protected, great fishing and kyaking depending what you're into. I just got home from there. Not sure of contact info, but you shoud find something if you google it.

Mik..what about your promise on the spell checker?

Andy, I hope you can find a spot out there, we have stayed out there but only in motels. I know the Wickannish really spoils the dogs....never been able to afford a visit there yet tho...
