Vancouver Island Camping information:

Many people go camping to leave the city behind. Even though you're spending time away from your neighbours, it's important that you don't forget about the people who are camping around you. Following these simple suggestions will keep you in good terms with your fellow campers.

Remember that many people camp to escape the city's close quarters. Be considerate when selecting a campsite and try to leave a spot in between you and your neighbours. It's not that campers are unfriendly, just that it's hard to enjoy the great wide open when you're boxed in on all sides.

Many campgrounds have a set quiet time, often from 10:00 pm until 7:00 am. Even if your campground doesn't, be considerate and think of your neighbours. Even during the day, loud stereos can bother those who are not out to party. The same applies to generators - if you feel it necessary to use one, try to do it when it will bother the least other people.

Vancouver Island, the largest North American island in the Pacific, is a recreational paradise. It stretches 280 miles (450 km) in a northwesterly direction and is divided into two distinct areas. The rugged west coast, cut by deep fjords and piled high by mountains, is home to busy fishing and logging communities.

It's a spectacular place to visit and unwind. The east coast is a peaceful paradise, rich with timber, farmlands and fishing streams, and home to beaches, villages and the provincial capital, Victoria. The Gulf Islands, a tourist's delight, lie between the mainland and Vancouver Island and offer peace and serenity.
