Broughton strait campground

One of the better campsites I’ve had the pleasure of staying at. Every single camper I came across was polite and friendly, Sharri has done such an incredible job creating a safe place with such a welcoming atmosphere. When you’re traveling on a bike all day having a place to take a hot shower and do a load of laundry is so incredible. They even have wifi! It’s right next to town so it’s a great place to stay to reorganize gear and restock on supplies. She was gracious enough to allow me to extend my stay so I was able to wait out an atmospheric river, before setting out to continue on my journey around the island.

The people who run this campground are amazing. They are extremely welcoming and will go above and beyond to help the people staying at the campground. Very helpful even to things non-campground related! -$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 worth a stop!

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 recommend!!!

What a fantastic campground! Sharri was an incredible host and was so super friendly and helpful. The campground is a cute little local campground. It's location can't be beat! Only a 500 m walk to town for supplies through a great forest trail. Only 500m to the beach. But port McNeil is so rural, once your tucked into the trees, you can't hear the city at all. Showers and laundry are FREE. Across all 10 provinces I've never seen free laundry. Bathrooms are older, but kept clean, and the water pressure is out of this world. And super hot. Also, they have an outdoor sink for cleaning dishes that also has said lovely hot water. Overall, one of my favorite places I've stayed across all for Canada! 👍👍

Inexpensive. Mostly serviced sites. And has showers, place to wash dishes, washrooms. Can walk into town easily through trail. Rustic features.
