Important info for car campers!! If you want to book an unserviced site/ tent site be aware that those sites are only walk-in!! You can’t park on the tent sites because they’re higher up and only reachable with the stairs. If you can choose site 9 or the other sites around the gazebo. They are unserviced and passable by car. The campground itself is really great. It’s close to a dense rainforest so it can be really wet but that’s just the region. The washroom building is quite warm and clean and the showers are included, so take the longest hot shower you can (beware of spiders). We also booked laundry service. The machines are in the little shed next to the big sign. Both washer and dryer are clean and odor free. There’s no detergent provided (but maybe ask for that). You can hang out in the shed while waiting for the laundry to finish, the wi-fi’s best there, it’s somewhat warm and there’s even some books in the corner. The machines don’t take too long. The campsite caretaker who we had the pleasure with was super nice and helpful. The other guests were quiet and polite, there are no JBL box on blast and drinking all night people here. Port McNeill is in walking distance where you can get groceries or have a snack or drink or take the ferry to a close-by island. Can...

-$15/night for tent sites which have electricity & water -You get GOOD wifi right from your tent! -Great weekly & monthly rates -Good lighting in bathroom, bench & hooks in shower area -Hot showers with NO TIME LIMIT -Sheltered picnic table -PERFECT location. 5 minute walk to grocery store & town if you take the trail, 8 min walk if you take the road. Right by ferry terminal too! -Laundry is by donation -There is a cute cat that runs around -Gravel road leading to the campground is in good condition -Quiet almost all the time
The sites are pretty close together, so if you want more of a “camping experience”, go to Nimpkish or Marble River Recreational Site (both a 30 min drive away, free, but no amenities or cell service).
Port McNeill is awesome and...
   Read moreYou get what you pay for. I think the village has taken over running it. No laundry when we stayed a couple days ago. The showers were clean enough (not the greatest). There was no soap at the sinks and while the attendant said they would be around in the AM and then again in the PM we only know they were there once (a toilet overflowed). This is a great spot to eBike over to Malcolm Island (Sointula) or Alert Bay. The ferry is right down the road, maybe a two minute bike ride and this new little diesel electric hybrid ferry doesn’t charge for bicycles. For what we wanted to do this location worked well for us. The facilities themselves look like they are in the program of being worked on. The power, water, sewers hook ups were...
