Best National park in Canada

L	Leah Sullivan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice spot. You can hear the highway, but it's not that bad. Outhouses only. Walk in sites have no fire pits but you can use the group one near by. Overall had a good time, close to the ferry and a pretty straight shot into Victoria for the day
C	Carl van der Merwe on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Helpful and friendly staff. Minimal facilities but more than worth it for the price. It could use a trail or two, but for just getting away for a few days and smelling like smoke thereafter it's a good spot.
K	Kate Ivankova on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to stay when visiting Sidney and Victoria. Campground was so clean and well maintained. Only downside here - no showers and flush toilets. Otherwise really nice location and big campsites
A	Andy Britner on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good sized spots, clean. Nice and friendly staff. It was a little noisy with it being quite close to highways, but still worth the visit. Short bike ride in to Sidney.
B	B F on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Clean spot ? and is well maintained. Staff are very friendly, helpful, and deliver firewood daily in the evening ❤️ Once in the afternoon, we were about to go out, a staff told us he would come back to deliver firewood for us later, and he did as promised. Thank you very much for keeping the campground a wonderful and restful place. We are very grateful for what we have during our visit?
J	Jayne Hope on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s a pretty good national parks campground close to Schwartz Bay ferry terminal, Victoria Airport and 30 minutes from Victoria. Beautiful trees but the highway, airplane and ferry noises are noticeable. The staff are good at keeping the primitive toilets clean. No showers available. Not too bad spacing between campsites.
G	Giané Pretorius on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing spot to pitch your tent! Although there's no showers or flush toilets, the sites and pit toilets are very well maintained! Sites are decent sized and very private. The highway noise didn't bother us at all. Friendly staff.
H	Hannah H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a great campground - super convenient location, great campground hosts who work hard to enforce rules (like 10pm quiet time). Yes it is near the highway, but the noise tapers off in the evening - I woke up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and didn't hear a single car go by. Definitely pick an "inside" site as they are quieter. If you are a tent camper, many sites have lovely sand tent pads - I really enjoyed this!! The bathroom was clean and did not smell (other than to be expected from a pit toilet). The campground itself was very pretty.
