This campground was great! The scenery is beautiful, and its close proximity to town made everything convenient. Lois and John were incredibly accommodating, and the check-in process was smooth and easy. We enjoyed exploring the tide pools and watching the seals, and the beach was great for swimming. The outdoor shower was a bonus. Some reviews mention the ferry traffic due to its location next to the active pass, but personally I think it adds to the charm of the gulf islands and this campground. Looking forward to staying here again

Hands down an unforgettable experience. My friends, husband our pups and I had the most exquisite time. Selfishly I don’t want to over share because it’s a hidden gem I hope never to lose our annual spot. Lois, the grounds manager is absolutely amazing, quick to respond and so helpful. We LOVE it here, the tranquil feeling to the private sites, the well kept grounds and the beautiful paths throughout, there is a little something for everyone. Highly recommend for those who want to change up their camping experience. Looking forward to next years memories! Thank you so much

Would highly recommend! My stay was seamless and my campsite was wonderful: views of the ocean, quite private, and quiet (with the exception of the ferry horn until the last ferry but I didn’t find that bothersome). I biked to Mayne and they were accommodating in allowing me to leave some of my things packed up in a common area after checkout during the day while I toured around the island.

Amazing location close to a super cute area on mayne and the ferry terminal. Seeing the seals was magical and the view from the campground is stunning. Owners were super nice and helpful! Worth the extra cost, especially because of the sink and beautiful outdoor shower with hot water!

PROS -Beautiful View -Not too far from Ferry & near shops CONS -Ferry whistle noise is LOUD from early to late. -Camping sites are pretty uneven with not much direction -Camping sites are a bit expensive per person -Camping amenities are few My advice would be to day trip Mayne and then head to a different island.
