Bella Pacifica Campground

The location of this campsite is simply stunning. I think it’s the best located campsite in Tofino for a blend of locality to the town and to the good surfing beaches. This beach however not being known as a surfing beach is an amazing home base, it’s not too busy and there’s lots of people enjoying the quiet beach with their dogs in the evening. We had a beachside spot which was small but adequate for our simple sleeping in a car and tarp setup. If you have a bigger setup, even a small camper wouldn’t have fit on our lot, but most of them were much bigger. Now normally I would leave that at that and rate the place 5 stars…. BUT Despite being $110 a night for camping (yes I know Tofino is generally a price gouge for accommodation and this is actually one of the cheaper rates..) showering was NOT INCLUDED!!!! I know, I can’t believe it. The one thing you need when you’re camping is a shower. That’s literally it. The one and only thing I’ve ever cared about when camping. And it was $2 for 2 minutes!! To top this off, they could only exchange cash to coins at the office (which closed super early, we had to use the campsite next doors office to change our coins a couple times) they couldn’t sell us coins from a debit card or sell us tokens or anything, which was super annoying, who even has cash these days? Idk not me. I’ve seen the campsite respond to this by using the ‘Tofino has limited water’ excuse you should learn about it blah blah blah.. but this makes no sense and any RV could suck up as much water as it pleases unlimitedly, or yknow anyone in a hotel could have a shower on forever, idk it seems a silly excuse. To top it off this shower block (4 showers total for the entire camp site) is an external shed that was ok (early October) but could be really sad and cold if the weather was less pleasant. To conclude- I’m not sure if I’d stay again, maybe if I save my toonies till next time I could be convinced. Footnote- Our spot, which was one of approx 15 maybe? was beachside, which was definitely super cool. If i was staying/had to stay on one of the other rows away from the beach I’d say not worth it at all. Sorry this was a long one. Thanks for reading!

Overall the place is great. Clean, well maintained - waterfront sites have beautiful view. The only downside was the price. Very expensive for a campground.

Campground is awesome, location can't really be beat. The sites are quite small (make sure you look at the demensions and measure it out.) the facilities are clean and plentiful with dishwashing stations and water access everywhere. Staff is helpful and friendly. Water access is by 2 sets of stairs so be mindful of you are planning to bring wagons or persons that have trouble with stairs.

This is the campground I always come to when I’m in Tofino, for a few reasons. The facilities are good - ample showers (coin operated), a sink and soap for doing dishes, private campsites, ocean view and easy access to Mackenzie beach (the only beach that allows fires). I’ve stayed at nearly all of the campgrounds in Tofino and this is the one I keep coming back to. It’s cheaper and closer to town than Surf Grove, better facilities than the others, and it’s on the best beach.

This a great campground. Most sites have decent privacy which is appreciated. I appreciate they have tried to leave the sites natural instead of making them all cookie cutter. Can hear the waves crashing at night and good beach access. Pay showers but I prefer that because then they don’t get as busy! Bathrooms were cleaned regularly and stayed fairly clean. Wood is damp and doesn’t burn the best, however it’s Tofino (everything is damp).
