East Sombrio Beach Campsite
East Sombrio Beach Campsite
East Sombrio Beach Campsite is one of three designated wilderness camping areas at Sombrio Beach, located within Juan de Fuca Provincial Park on Vancouver Island's southwest coast.
Sitting on the east side of the Sombrio River, it is reached via a short access trail from the Sombrio Beach Trailhead parking lot off Highway 14, approximately at kilometre 29 of the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail.
Compared to the busier West Sombrio and Main Sombrio areas, the east campsite sees fewer visitors and offers individually padded tent sites. Campsites are self-registered and first-come, first-served.
Bear caches are available for food storage, and wooden tent platforms help keep gear above the high-tide line. From camp, visitors can explore east along the beach toward a hidden canyon waterfall, sea caves, and marine wildlife.
Note that there is no cell service in this area, and the trail in can be muddy, so preparation is advised.
