Pacheedaht Campground
Pacheedaht Campground
Pacheedaht Campground sits on the traditional lands of the Pacheedaht First Nation near Port Renfrew, on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island.
Nestled between two rivers — accessed by crossing a single-lane bridge over the San Juan River — the campground stretches along a mile of driftwood-strewn Pacific beach.
It offers a range of site types, including beachfront spots, riverside nooks, and forested sites, with roughly 55 sites in total. The location makes it a natural base for outdoor adventure.
The southern trailhead of the West Coast Trail is close by, and paddling, fishing, and beach exploration are popular on-site pursuits.
The campground is open year-round and is operated by the Pacheedaht First Nation, who also run a shuttle service to the West Coast Trail trailhead from April to September.
