Pacheedaht Campground
Pacheedaht Campground
Pacheedaht Campground sits beside the Gordon River West Coast Trail Orientation Centre near Port Renfrew on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island, operated by the Pacheedaht First Nation — the "People of the Seafoam," a Nuu-chah-nulth people with deep ties to this coastline.
The campground is nestled between two rivers and stretches along roughly two kilometres of sandy, driftwood-strewn beach facing Port San Juan. Sites range from beachfront to riverside and forested settings.
Campers can fish, paddle, and access the West Coast Trail, whose Gordon River trailhead is located almost directly across from the campground. The site is open year-round and accepts reservations up to 90 days in advance.
For West Coast Trail hikers, Pacheedaht Campground serves as a natural starting or finishing point for the southern end of the trail at Gordon River.
