This is a Drive Through review of the Alder Bay RV Park in Port McNeill, British Columbia. The Good: This is great location that gives you easy access to everything that the North Island has to offer, Sointula and Alert bay are a short ferry ride away, Probably 50-100 transient full service sites and 30 partial and tenting sites, Many water front view sites and the park is terraced well so most have some views, Showers, laundry and washrooms available A good store and food truck on site, Access to a marina, if you want to launch a boat and fish The Bad: Not much bad, Not much separation to the sites but they are larger than most commercial parks Believe it or not though the road in is paved it has many humps and dips so you need to be careful Can be a bit windy but that is a trade off for waterfront, Conclusion: This is one of my more favorite sites in the north island, it has everything you need, the office is easy to deal with, and the feel of the park is very positive, We rate this campsite a 9/10 as it has a great location on the waterfront and easy access to amenities in town Check out the video online….

We stayed in the little cabins up on the hill and it was a dream. I could have spent all day just sipping tea and watching the wildlife from the balcony. The view is absolutely incredible and the amenities are tough to beat!

Had the most amazing experience here at Alder Bay. The campground itself is very clean, dog friendly and has so many amenities such as showers and a laundry room! Definitely recommend this place for families. Trish and Dan were outstanding hosts and made our experience here more enjoyable.

Absolutely my new favorite camping spot on the island! The view is the die for, camping spots point right out to the ocean, saw a whale come right up near the beach. They have a cute little food truck, a nice long dock for fishing and boats, private individual clean showers, wifi and good cell service and the kindest staff. I will be back next year for sure. They also have whale watching tours thay leave right from the island as well as kayak tours and a fishing guide.

What an incredible seaside location. We had amazing views from our RV and enjoyed staring out across the water. The weather was rather chilly while we were here, but sat outside in our coats and looked at the fantastic - and quite late (9:30 pm) sunset from our grassy site. The power was very good here. We could easily run our air fryer without turning off everything else first. We recommend a meal at Roxy's, the on site food truck. They have really good chowder and burgers and it's nice to site on their deck with an adult beverage while enjoying a meal with the view. We didn't use the laundry or showers, but we took a peek and they looked very nice and clean. If and when we take another island road trip, I hope to stay here again.

This is a most delightful spot to stay in a tent, camper or van. Situated with walking distance of the shoreline, Alder Bay Resort is a special place. Staff is excellent and always available. You can use this place as a base to do a number of activities from....kayaking, whale watching, bear watching or access to a wilderness lodge at Farewell Harbour...Berry Island. Contact them well ahead of the season make your summer plans in the North Island 2022...

Alder Bay is amazing! The owners/managers are exceptional. The maintenance and cleanliness of the park is outstanding. Highly recommend! We are lucky to be here on a full time basis!

Amazing view. Spots are reasonably level but close together. Easy access to the launch and Beach area. Nice little restaurant with good options. The wind can be a little intense coming off the water so bring the right clothing options. Will definitely come back again.

Very relaxing stay and beautiful view of the ocean. Other RVers were super friendly. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice shop and restaurant on premise. I'm not a fisherman, but this place made me want to be. Not 5/5 due to some of the unevenness and narrowness of the pull through sites, but overall it was a positive experience. 👌

This is our second year going back to Alder Bay and plan to make this a yearly tradition. We camp in many campgrounds from one end of Vancouver Island to the other and Alder Bay is our favorite. They have many different sites to chose from. Lots of sites with ocean views, sunset views, some rustic, group sites and some forested and shady with lots of privacy. You can pick which type of site suits you best! The owners and staff are super helpful, friendly and make you feel welcome. I appreciate the upgrades they are making and how well maintained the place is. The food truck and patio is a definite bonus!
