West Sombrio Beach Campsite sits on the west side of the Sombrio River within Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, roughly halfway along the 47-kilometre Juan de Fuca Marine Trail on Vancouver Island.

The campsite offers open, on-the-beach camping with no divided sites, giving it a relaxed, communal atmosphere that draws surfers, backpackers, and groups. The rockier shoreline sees fewer visitors than the east side, lending it a quieter, more secluded feel.

Access requires crossing a suspension bridge over the Sombrio River. Backcountry camping here requires a BC Parks permit.

Note that as of 2025, West Sombrio Beach Campsite was listed among closures due to storm damage to the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail; travellers should check current BC Parks advisories before visiting.
