I've been meaning to visit this place for years and finally braved the Langford/Sooke traffic to do so. Nice little campground (23 sites), fairly busy with day users, lots of people surfing or kayaking, stopping in for a place to eat lunch as there are public picnic tables. Bathrooms were cleaned while I was there but over the 2 days I stayed the garbage was completely packed full. This place could definitely use another can or more frequent removal. Otherwise I enjoyed my stay and can't wait to come back in winter for some storm watching.

Beautiful location with vault toilets and picnic areas. A bit windy since you’re on the coast of course. River inlet is available to camp on. There were some sketchy people camping in the day use area but didn’t bother anyone. RV’ers were running generators most of the night (like a-holes - don’t do that).

Highly recommend this very easily accessible and clean oceanside camping location! This spot is pretty exposed so you will want to pack your layers and be prepared for wind.Your reward however will be front row seating to nature's beauty in all of her glory. . This little piece is heaven is a great place to unplug and slow down. You'll enjoy watching surfers in the waves and observe all kinds of marine wildlife directly from your site. Cold Shoulder cafe is just a short walk away for pastries and a warm drink. You'll want to add this location to your Vancouver Island bucket list.
