Early morning mist in Strathcona Provincial Park
Central Vancouver Island
With no public campground located beside Highway 19 from Campbell River north to Cape Scott on the northwest tip of Vancouver Island, travellers must go farther afield to seek out a provincial park, regional park or Forest Service recreation site if they want an alternative to a private campground.

Pockets of Forest Service sites occur around McCreight Lake, about 40 km north of Campbell River, as well as at nearby Pye Lake and Stella Lake.

Marble River Provincial Park is west of Hwy 19 on the Port Alice road near the mouth of Alice Lake. It is nestled in a beautiful forest, and campers will find a boat launch and a beach for
swimming.


Link River Regional Park Campsite, Alice Lake
Link River Regional Park lies 50 km west of Highway 19 on the Port Alice Road, on the west shore of Alice Lake near the southern end of the lake. Two forest service sites are located on the east side of Alice Lake, Alice Lake Recreation Site, and Pinch Creek Recreation Site. There are a series of recreation campsites at nearby lakes, including Kathleen Lake and Clint Beek Rec Site on Keogh Lake. North of Port Hardy, look for small sites off Highway 19 at Georgie Lake and Nahwitti Lake on the way to Cape Scott.

Schoen Lake Provincial Park is located about 12 km south of Hwy 19, north of Sayward. Set in the Nimpkish Valley, this is one of the most beautiful camping areas on the island. One of the best ways to experience this park is from one of the wilderness campsites on Schoen Lake. Farther to the west, the newly minted Woss Lake Provincial Park is even more undeveloped, offering great backcountry exploration.


Campsite at Eric Lake, Cape Scott Provincial Park
Cape Scott Provincial Park lies 60 km west of Port Hardy on a well-maintained gravel road. Most backpackers set up camp at San Josef Bay, on a sandy beach fronted by sea stacks. More experienced hikers face an eight-hour slog through some of the muddiest, most tortuous terrain of any trail in British Columbia to reach Cape Scott, a distance of 27 kilometres from the parking lot. Camping pads are provided at the campsite at Eric Lake on the Cape Scott Trail.

Raft Cove Marine Provincial Park is located about 8 km south of Cape Scott Provincial Park, about 42 km west of Port Hardy. Dense western hemlock and sitka spruce blanket the shoreline, where you'll find wilderness campsites on nearby beaches. This is an extremely exposed area, so come prepared to wear waterproof clothing on top of waterproof clothing in an attempt to stay dry. Raft Cove is located just south of San Josef Bay.
