Winter Storm Watching
Join us for a relaxing and beautiful off season holiday. There is an abundance of wildlife to view as the Straight of Georgia comes to life with the annual herring spawning season. California Sea Lions & Fur Seals frequent the local waters often seen mating, barking & lounging around in the near shore waters. Monthly site rentals available as well as off season give us a call.
Reservation Request
Please note: Camping Reservations for July and August only require a two night minimum stay. We will contact you to secure your reservation deposit upon booking.
FISHING, KAYAKING, & MORE
Kayaks & Paddle Boards
There are some excellent paddling opportunities at Bates Beach. Paddling South at low tide takes the paddler along the reef at Seal bay and provides ample opportunity for wildlife viewing. Eagles and shore birds hunt for food while seals, sea lions and others sun themselves on the many large rocks. Moon light paddles offer spectacular sun sets, peaceful setting and views of cruise ships.

Here's one of our favourite campfire recipes:
Recipe: Some-Mores (or Smores)
- 1 Campfire with some cherry hot coals
- 1 Roasting stick each
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate bars - Jersey Milk or Aero Bars melt the best
- Graham wafers
Place chunk of chocolate on one graham cracker. Have second graham cracker ready. Toast marshmallows until golden brown. Place and squish between graham crackers with chocolate. Eat. They are so good you will want "Some-more!"
