French Beach Provincial Park is a highly recommended destination for those who cherish the beauty of nature and seek a peaceful camping experience.

Gorgeous views, the only downside is that there’s no onsite office so for questions you just have to wait for someone to come around when they do their rounds! Besides that overall nice camp. No showers but nice scenery. All campsites had trees surrounding to provide bit of privacy. Water and pit-toilets.

Gorgeous destination. A breath of life at his purest form. Everything, the rocks and ocean, calling your name with a scream of nature. You will feel alive here. The log of dead woods will await you, You will breathe in health at the sense of earth. Rhe sunlight will land on your face, the waves will chase after you, you will meet your coreness, unclutch your mind, and remember yourself in this place. I you will because i did.

French Beach Provincial Park is a must-visit for those seeking a tranquil escape in a picturesque natural setting. Campsites are well-spaced and offer privacy, though facilities are basic. The sound of crashing waves at night is a peaceful lullaby for campers. However, the park's rugged beauty also means limited amenities, so visitors should come prepared

Booked this back in March (had to book 2 months in advance online) was SO WORTH IT. We lucked out in the weather, and the campsite was so clean and well kept. We were a 5 min walk from the ocean and they had a brand new children's playground. There is drinking water and pit toilets available on site. And you can have fires (there are picnic tables and fire pits in each campsite) There were two bears when we stayed. Although we did not see them, it's important your food stays in your vehicle. (They have steel containers If you come with no car) One thing to note is there is no service when you are at the campground. So keep that in mind prior to your visit. You can technically get roaming from the US but we opted not too. When you arrive you check the sign of the list of campsites to find yours, and a park ranger will meet you on their rounds for check in. I only had to show my ID for check-in. They also sell wood but it was cash only. I couldn't get over how green the trees were and how calming the ocean sounded. I HIGHLY recommend this campsite. We will definitely go next year.

A very scenic drive alongside the Coast, beautiful sights and stops all the way here. So many beautiful beaches and trails ❤️ So much to see and do. One trip at a Time 😀 I'll see it all 😊 sooner or later. Some sections of this highway is rough for a highway. This is another big beach with lots of parking.
