About
Located on North Pender Island, a few minutes away from the Otter Bay ferry terminal, with access from Canal Road. Set in the shade of a thick forest of ferns, cedar, fir, maple and alder trees. There is a short walking trail on the western side of the campground, providing hiking opportunities that link to other local trails outside of the national park reserve. This trail also leads to the well-known local Disc Golf course, which is a draw for many campers.
