We did a family bikepacking trip here in April with really nice results! Although we did encounter some rain (which is typical for this area in the Spring), we had a nice 20hr period of sun and even got a little sweaty on the ride into Ganges for the weekend market. The forecast was not predictable, so you may need to pack all-season clothing if you plan on riding here.

We reserved a groupsite that was plenty large enough for our crew of 4 kids between 2-4 years old and 5 adults. There is a fairly convenient (3-500m from our site) charging station for ebikes at the sign before the park entrance. It has limited space, so you may want to bring a power bar if you are charging more than 2 batteries. We locked ours together and sent one rider to pick them up after a few hours of topping up to 80%. I was able to make it all the way back to Victoria (via Lochside) from Ruckle without charging on a 750wh battery. The hills are manageable but the drivers can be hit or miss on SSI, some drivers know how to pass and others get a bit too close with oncoming cars instead of waiting for an appropriate time to go around.

One nice thing about off season camping is the ability to have fires (which we took full advantage of) for both cooking and warmth/entertainment. Water for drinking/cooking is fairly conveniently located, the outhouses are a bit of a walk for kids. Nice trails surround the sites. One of the easier islands to get to, with frequent sailings. Recommended for beginner bikepackers, especially those carrying kids with them :)
