RV camping in Vancouver Island

With distant mountain and city views—plus ocean all around—this tiny corner of BC offers unparalleled nature access for RV camping. RVers are spoiled for campsite choice, with plenty of coastal experiences, gentle beaches, and old-growth forests where it's possible to pull up and park for a while. Dozens of BC provincial parks and protected spaces on Vancouver Island offer RV campsites, most of which are open for advance reservations with hookups, dump stations, and full services. Bamberton Provincial Park, not far from Saanich Inlet, is relaxed and peaceful, especially in September when fewer campers visit. At the family-friendly Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park, nearly a kilometre of sandy flats is exposed at low tide, perfect for beach combing and shell collecting. No matter where you park, reservations are strongly advised and are all but essential during peak summer months.
