Miracle Beach Provincial Park — Attraction in Area C (Puntledge/Black Creek)

Fantastic Provincial campground with over 200 sites under a forested canopy. Warm showers available (need to pump it several times first to get it warm otherwise its freezing!) and they are free! Single, clean outhouses scattered throughout sites have hand sanitizer and filled toilet paper rolls. Not stinky! Nearby the outhouses is fresh water from a tap, garbage and recycling bins for drink containers available. Need to haul out your other recyclables or burn them. Woke up to singing birds every morning! Woodpeckers, towhees, wrens, eagles and ravens were regular sightings. Star gazing was awesome too. Saw at least 5 satellites going by within 15 mins! I'd be lucky if I saw 2 in a night as a child, Elon Musk has been busy ;) Little forest trail from roughly site 54 goes towards Black Creek and is a nice 10 min walk through mossy trees, native orchids and ferns. A little side trail goes onto Black Creek (didn't see any fish) Perfect for walking the dog in the morning. Miracle Beach is within 10 mins walking distance from the front entrance of the campground but also has ample parking spaces near the beach park and is less than 2 min drive in. Picnic tables available at the front entrance area and an easy flat gravel trail lies along the beach edge with lots of old drift logs to sit on. Dogs are not allowed on part of the beach but welcome on the far right end. Panoramic ocean views with endless wildlife viewing looking out towards Savary Island. We were blessed with a low tide day that showed an extended, big sandy beach with sand dollars and fun tidal pools to search and discover. it went out a really long way which was fun for our 5 year old. Most of the beach is rocky, except at low tide. Saw a seal or sea lion pair swimming by too! The Park ranger at the campground was the nicest guy ever! He spotted us $81 as we arrived late (8pm) without any cash and they only take cash at the site. He let us pay the next day and was super chill and friendly. We were able to drive to the Gas Station/Store that night which is open till 11pm and has all kinds of camping needs, snacks, alcohol (including local ciders!) and an ATM etc. Its only 10 mins or so away. It was unexpected and very humbling to have such a nice park ranger spot us some cash :) Thank you for such a nice camping experience. Highly recommend this campground! The forest is beautiful and April was a good time to go, only a few sites were occupied and the beach had less than 10 people out there. Firewood $15/2 bins...

I love miracle beach. Growing up it was the, "Oh, we didn't get into Rathtrevor, gotta drive a bit further.." option. The campground is clean and has more flush toilets and showers, multiple playgrounds and a kids pump track. The beach is the same as it always was but with a good bathroom, tons of parking, bike racks (could use more on a busy day) and now even a concrete accessibility ramp to the beach so you can avoid the rocks near the tide line (bring water shoes.. the beach is amazing once you get beyond the barnacle encrusted river rocks).

BC Parks has done a good job at making the park more accessible. The beach proper has 3 mobility spots and usually has at least one free (I'd encourage a 4th as there is plenty of space to do so). The ramp is a welcom addition, and all bathrooms etc are accessible.

The nature hut is underwhelming as an adult, but the programs offered are great.

I'd highly recommend anyone who hasn't visted Miracle to do so. It's well worth the 3hr drive from Victoria.

The location is also good if you want to bike in Cumberland or visit Mt Washington (ziplines, downhill mtb etc).

Ammentities are close by too. 5 minutes down there road there is a convenience/grocery store, liquor store, cannabis dispensory and drug store. Minigolf and icecream is...

Beautiful west coast provincial park with a trifecta of oceanside beach walking, riverside trails, and mossy forest pathways. There are two large parking lots for day visiting and a separate area for overnight camping. There are several accessibility parking spots, and washrooms as well as outhouses in other areas of the park. The signage throughout the park is impressive so that no matter what intersection of trails you come to there's a map to show where you are and what your options are moving forward. In addition to maps there are educational signs about the park flora, fauna and history. The trails are reasonably wide and well maintained making it easy and accessible walking. Dogs are allowed if kept on leash and the owners clean up droppings. Being a provincial park no shells, rocks, driftwood etc. can be removed but there's lots for children to discover and release. There are picnic benches near the water although not many. In the summer there are educational programs offered at a small outdoor...
