This is a large recreation site, fee campground located in central Vancouver Island, a short drive from the village of Gold River, west of the mountains of Strathcona Provincial Park. It is situated down a gravel logging road that is accessible in any vehicle. There are plentiful campsites, with picnic tables, fire rings, numerous pit toilets, a dumpster, and lake access for fishing and boating. It is a densely wooded area next to a lake with dramatic mountains and fjords across the water. Sites are first come, first serve, and there is a friendly campground host who stops by to collect the small fee every evening. Enough room for two or three vehicles per site with a smaller selection of campsites directly next to the water. These are the first to be occupied, but the entire campground is lovely. There is no cell service here, and trees are too dense for Starlink. It's a great option if you are looking for spacious and comfortable camping central to all of Vancouver Island.

Secret spot! This is a spacious, industrial, paved landing located on the bay in northeastern Vancouver Island. Formerly used as both a log dump and a loading platform for a nearby mining operation. There is a makeshift fire ring, and it is a wonderful location to boondock with a group. Watch fishing boats go up and down the bay all day long, with scenic fjords and mountain ranges beyond the water to the east. A rock wall and wooded hills directly to the west. There is no cell service here, but there is a great view of the sky for Starlink. It was very quiet and peaceful during our stay with no visitors in mid August, but there are signs of life, so expect the occasional local to show up randomly for whatever reason. Fishing. Snogging. Drinking. Burnouts. Bring a kayak or a pack raft to paddle around in the bay and witness a ton of starfish. We really enjoyed this spot and would return. Recommended.
