Ideal location to Victoria, BC. A large RV park with many full-time tenants, but enough sites for passerbys. Our fourth stay and always a positive experience. Large laundry facility with plenty of machines for use. Pull thru sites available for convenience and big rig friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We wondered why there were no reviews of this campground given its size. When we pulled in, the answer was obvious -- this campground is mostly occupied by long-term residents with very old RVs. The campground is right next to a major highway and the noise is substantial. The sites are not paved and there are weeds growing everywhere. Overall, the campground has a very depressing feel to it. The upsides is that there was sufficient space between sites and the staff was nice. Also, it has easy access to Victoria. If one decides to stay there despite this review, please do not follow the directions in Woodall -- Woodall uses highway numbers but the streets are not labeled that way. We had a real difficult time finding this place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Under construction the whole time we were there! Large equipment started as early as 7:35a.m. All the trees have been taken down and the wetlands have been filled. As a result you may only see the wooden eagle at the front and not the real thing; as the machines have scared them away. The wind break from the ocean has been removed by taking the trees down. So be prepared to dress warm. The only real wild life that has not left is the mosquitoes of which there are many. The sites are nice size but very dirty, road base is gravel, there is no concrete or grass. The washrooms are clean but were not given a good cleaning on weekends. The office does not open until 9:00 a.m. So if you need any assistance before then; forget it. If you arrive late and the office is not open you had better make sure you have change. A loonie to shower and two to wash, again no way to get change until the office opens. When we were there they had boondock areas (no service) available, but they will add services for next year. If you are a camper in a tent, bark mulch is the base and no where to stake your tent. They do have picnic tables but only one tap to get water and it is quite a walk to get it. That will end though as they are building a cookhouse and more washrooms, they said. If you do not have a toad with you it is quite a hike to the bus so you will need to take your rig. It is about 25 minutes to downtown Victoria. Sidney a lovely little seaside town, and is only about 15 minutes away. They have a payphone. Internet is in the office and only available when it is open (short hours) and not a place to set your computer . I don't think we will ever return here. For the money I would expect more, it is not a resort only a new campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

No picnic tables, sites hard to get into with big rig due to big rocks and posts at end of site, dirty gravel sites, expensive laundry with only three machines , no playground as advertised, not gated, no pay phone, $50.00 per nite and $1.00 for 5 min. shower, beach is lovely but poorly groomed and grass path is quite a walk through a swampy path with lots of bugs. Bring long sewer and water hoses as the services are not well placed, there are very few 50 amps most are 30, intenet is available only in office from 9 a.m.-9p.m. Park advertises itself as an RV resort - it's not ! On-site manager obviously has had little experience running an RV park. Not all bad: very quiet, away from highway, lots of birds (including bald eagles), close to the ocean, close to quaint town of Sidney, not too far to drive to Victoria. Phone ahead to confirm the amenities you need are indeed available. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great views and sunsets. Linda was always around to help and ask what she could do to improve the park, the Bear Golf course was unbelievable with it's views and lay out a must for any golfer.Will come back again We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an OK place, very close to inner harbor and downtown Victoria. We didn't use them, but we did notice that the park actually CHARGES for showers. At $35/night, we think that charging for showers seems a bit much. The best and better RV parks do not generally stoop to this money-grubbing practice. The park was clean, but not "sparkling clean" as advertised. The sites are gravel with paved driveway. The presence of permanent-type rigs detracted from the experience. Only thing to justify the $35 price is the very close proximity to town. If you like dry camping and don't need hook-ups, there are actually two downtown 24-hour lots that charge $12 and $5 for overnight parking, and there is no "no camping" prohibition. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Rating this RV park is very difficult as it depends on your site. Waterfront sites are a 10+, inside sites are not so good. Most sites are gravel, some have grassy patches. Book very early as good sites are often booked one year in advance. Finding using Google is difficult if coming from Nanaimo but once you find the place it is very easy. Seaplanes make all kinds of noise but are nice to watch -- long term I think this would drive me nuts! Would definitely stay here again, but only on a waterfront site. USE water PRESSURE regulators here...water pressure is varied and electricity is wacked too so use surge protectors. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place, nice warm bath house. Very scenic across harbour to Victoria or at the marina and floating houses. Easy walk to shopping center in Esquimalt, terrific biking on Galloping Goose trail. Terrific access to Victoria by waterfront trail (2+ miles, very scenic) or frequent bus service. Restaurant on the premises, very friendly staff. WiFi free and adequate, with occasional interruptions. We camped here in a Motorhome.
