Kelp Forest Cove

1 site · Lodging10 acres · Tofino, BC
Situated on a beautiful 10 acre, fully forested, oceanfront lot in Ucluelet Inlet, this boat access only site offers a secluded and peaceful wilderness experience for groups of up to 12 people. Take in the expansive ocean views from your private king size bed in our 3 unique cedar barrel cabins with a 7ft dome window. For groups requiring more accommodations we also have 3 overflow tent spots where you can set up your own tents and bedding. Each group will enjoy exclusive access to the whole site during their stay. You can enjoy playing and lounging on our small private beach, exploring walking trails through beautiful temperate rainforest, or paddling in the protected inlet in one of our canoes, kayaks or SUPs that are free to use during your stay. There are 2 composting toilets on site and a small kitchen shed which is outfitted with a gas stove, pots, pans, dishes, silverware, drinking water and a sink so no need to bring your own kitchen supplies. Kelp Forest Cove is owned and operated by a local couple who are building their dream sustainable homestead on 1 of the 10 acres. Dane works as a marine biologist and scientific diver, while Sam is a documentary filmmaker and wildlife photographer. They live in a small cabin on-site with their pup and are available to help with any needs the guests have while also giving groups as much privacy as possible. The site is a short 15 minute boat ride from downtown Ucluelet where guests can enjoy amazing restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores and gift shops, or can drive 10-20 minutes to the huge outer coast beaches of Pacific Rim National Park. We offer a free water taxi service for check in, check out and up to 1 round trip per full day rental in between (8am-5pm). This is the perfect spot for any groups looking to enjoy one of the most beautiful natural areas in all of Canada but would prefer to have maximum privacy instead of staying at a cramped campsite shared with many other groups.
