Located at the Northern tip of Vancouver Island, Port Hardy and the surrounding area is rich in tradition and deep-rooted in culture. Rich, rugged and resilient, Port Hardy is the gateway to an authentic, unspoiled, nature-driven adventure.
The location was super convenient and beautiful, but essentially this is the RV park and camping in town. Pretty loud and lots of in and out traffic all night/ morning.
It is exactly as described! I suggest setting up tent by the picnic tables as the open field site has no cover and gets overrun with people making quick stops during the night.
This was the perfect spot to pitch a tent for the night before we left to do the north coast trail. The check in was seamless, the use of communal BBQs was great for cooking out dinner. Bathrooms were clean and maintained. Was nice to have a water supply. And it's minutes from the north coast water taxi.
If you don't mind camping in a big gassy area its a great spot!!
Really nice spot for tent camping where I was, I had a picnic table and fire ring (could not use due to fire ban), it was very quiet during the day, and ample green grass or trees to camp under. Good showers and toilets, BBQ available and jungle gym for little ones.
However on both nights tent campers showed up at 1am, made noise for an hour while setting up, and woke most campers around them making things unpleasant while insults were exchanged with the inconsiderate new arrivals.
I recommend NOT allowing new campers after 10pm. People can plan accordingly or sleep in their car until the gates are opened. A gate or chain with clear signs also should be put up to self enforce the curfew.
