Camped here at the end of August, and despite the heavy rain on our first night, we had a wonderful experience! The views were fantastic and the campground was busy, yet peaceful. There is a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the actual tenting area, but the wheel barrows supplied made it convenient to carry supplies.

Beautiful park with numerous walking trails. Interesting to read about the history and homesteading. On a beautiful summer day there was continuous pleasure craft boats passing by to enjoy.

Love this park! The park itself has many walk-in campsites, it does get busy in the summer but when we were walking around in late April/early May, it was fairly quiet. There are many trails to explore and a heritage farm area to look at as well. Gorgeous setting by the ocean, definitely a sight to see in Salt Spring for sure!

Beautiful camping spot located oceanside. There are a few campsites that require reservations, but the majority of them are first come, first serve. All campsites are a good 100 meters from the parking lot, so be prepared to lug your equipment. There are two wheel barrows so try to snag one to make it easier. Put toilets and potable water available.

This hike was amazing. The view did not disappoint. Did it in 2hrs with our 3yr old toddler and dog. Wear good shoes and bring water! Lots of shade in the tree though.
