Payzant Creek
Payzant Creek
Payzant Creek Camp is a forest campground along the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail on Vancouver Island, situated approximately 40 kilometres from the China Beach trailhead.
Set in lush old-growth rainforest, the camp offers no beach or ocean access but rewards hikers with towering trees, emerald ferns, and a clear, cold waterfall nearby.
The camp features 12 prepared tent pads spread across two spur trails that descend downhill from the main trail, plus a handful of overflow spots — some of which can collect water during wet weather.
An outhouse sits adjacent to the main trail, a food cache is located on a signed uphill spur, and drinking water is drawn from Payzant Creek just east of camp.
The site falls along one of the easier sections of the trail, close to the popular Botanical Beach Trailhead.
