China Creek Campground & Marina

Loved our time at this campground! Beautiful setting that feels isolated even though it’s not too far from town. The staff were so accommodating to our group of three families and made us feel valued. They made the overall atmosphere feel relaxed and allowed us a later check out when our site wasn’t booked the day of our check out. We really appreciated that. We experienced beautiful calm mornings and evenings with some wind every afternoon which cooled down the hot days we were there. Most sites are quite open and not very private but this suited us okay for this trip.

Really enjoyed our stay in campsite 50. Right on the water! It was windy but we enjoyed it. So nice to cozy up under the blanket and watch the waves. My two very young kids could play within eye sight on the logs on the beach. They have a great playground as well they enjoyed. The bathroom with flushing toilet and shower was close enough to our site it was nice to have running water to wash teeth and dirty faces. We did two hikes close by that had great views! There are lots of crows and wasps but neither bugged us too much. Just make sure to put your food garbage away even when you step away for a min! Thanks! We will be back!

We had a great time camping at China Creek. As someone else mentioned, yes it is windy (stayed middle of July) and pitching the tent in the wind was definitely a challenge, however with the help of some big trees, string and heavy rocks we managed to secure our tent and it stayed put through 3 windy days! We stayed in number 57, so not quite on the beach but close enough to feel a very strong breeze. The amenities are ok, and after coming from Tofino we appreciated that everything was a bit cheaper. The grounds are split into 2 sections, one in the forest and one exposed closer to the marina. We were in the forest and would recommend trying to book there if possible. There were definitely a few nighttime visitors (hearing little footsteps and sniffs outside the tent in the middle of the night - eek!) so be sure to secure all food and trash. They also have lots of activities outside of fishing available, kayaking, paddle boarding, mountain bike course, playground, off leash dog park, hiking, and best of all -Wind Rider Kite School! Overall, we would definitely stay again. It was lovely!

We were booked there for a 3 night stay but only stayed 1. If you're planning on camping with a tent there, it's not a good idea. It's waaaaaay too windy. We were looking forward to having a nice campsite along the water so my kids can go swimming and hang out on the beach but we ended up staying in the tent most of the time because of the wind. We tried putting up some sort of wind barrier but because it was just me and my 2 kids it was too difficult and people just kept walking by and laughing at us. Our camp stove couldn't stay lit because of the wind so I wasn't even able to cook for us. We ended up just packing up camp and leaving so i can bring my kids home to cook for them. It was very unfortunate because like I said, my kids and I were really looking forward to going camping.

It wasn't bad, the random dogs walking around sucked they kept coming into our spot and bugging our dogs that we had tied up, it was quiet and clean, the permanent spots were kind of trashy and every no parking sign had someone parked there makes it hard to drive through when people are blocking the road had to wait to leave for someone to move there vehicle and make it known we were the issue in trying to leave......the rules could be enforced a little bit.
