All campsites are in the beautiful forest, shaded. No bugs at all. Even in the hottest days, there is a cool breeze. Nice beaches are nearby. Downsides: there is the only one place to wash dishes, but it is only for ONE group site. Very inconvenient and unfair. Otherwise, it is good place to stay.

Wanted to share a bit about our multi-family bikepacking camping experience here: In short, it was wonderful. We arrived via a BC Ferryboat at Sturdies Bay (took Sturdies, Georgson, Montague Rd route to the park). Depending on who you are riding with, and what you are riding, you will find the hills fairly taxing but not impossible to climb. Remember: after the uphill comes the downhill ;) We took about 25-35 minutes to arrive. There is a waiting area directly on the right when you unload off the ferry, and if you allow all the vehicles to go first it definitely allows for a stress-free ride (especially with young passengers) We arranged the group campsite on the west side of the campground in advance and were pleasantly surprised with a spacious covered cooking area, with running potable water in a sink and cast iron BBQ's (if you are looking to save some room packing isobutane stoves, I believe you can buy charcoal from the ranger station but don't quote me on that). Enough space for 5-7 tents, all with water views. Our crew was 7 kids ranging from 2-9 years old plus 10 adults. Access to the Gray Peninsula and beaches was perfect for the kids (120m walk from our tent to the beach) and allowed parents to stay either on the beach or within sightlines back at camp. Everything about the experience was great and low stress: You are considered a walk-on passenger for the ferry so you are guaranteed boarding, there are food options within 10-20 minutes for cooking or dining out, and the site is well maintained and quiet. Our only issue was the two stores were sold out of ice on our first night!

Great campground! Definitely lock up your stuff at night as there a several raccoons lurking around that will steal anything and everything. Also right by a lovely beach that you can swim in.

A great spot for families, solo campers or small group of friends. We stayed at one of the walk-in sites. There are wheel barrels near the ranger station you can take to bring your stuff to your site. It is not too far from the parking lot. All the sites have a raised tent pad, a fire pit, a picnic table and a VERY useful metal box to store your food and avoid the occasional sneaky raccoon that will want to steal your provisions. The bathrooms are spacious and are maintained very clean. Big plus! No showers, but really, it is camping afterall! There are drinking water taps available. This is a great spot. Even when it is full, it does not feel crowded. *Things to do There are a couple of short hikes that lead you to quiet and beautiful shell beaches that many times you find empty and can enjoy by yourself. The sunsets are amazing! Grab a towel, snacks and head to the main beach to enjoy it. Vegetation is beautiful, with arbutus tress, pines and seals, eagles, and wildlife around. We also saw kayakers and there is a day use area.

This is a generally fantastic BC parks site with some potential flaws. To begin with the positives, the park staff are laid back and friendly. They take great care of the place. Everything is well groomed. The detail work is excellent. There are great hiking trails and great ocean front views. The tent sites are the real star of the show. They overlook the water and have wooden platforms, meaning a flat sleeping surface and no puddles. The RV sites are OK. Mostly levelish and no views but there is an acceptable 30 to 50 feet between sites. A welcome and hard to find feature. The $25 price point is a bit steep compared to some better and cheaper spots, but it's not bad compared to any private campground anywhere in the region. There is no meaningful sun available in any of the RV sites, so you will get no power. Make sure you arrive with some charge. Also, there is no cell tower on Galiano, so only the three sites nearest to the water have internet. The two double sites next to them may also have a connection but they are $50 a night. Otherwise, and also with the tent sites, you will not have functional internet. Max stay of 14 days is restrictive, but par for BC parks. The 14 in and 1 out rule of Alberta parks is superior. The road in is also a bit rough and narrow with some low power lines. It is drivable but rigs over 30 feet will need extra patience. Overall a solid campgrounds. Your mileage may vary depending on power and internet needs especially, but most campgrounds are less good than this.
