Cluxewe Resort
Overview
Cluxewe Resort offers a unique coastal experience on the northern end of Vancouver Island. Situated where the Cluxewe River meets the Broughton Strait, this park is owned and operated by the Kwakiutl First Nation. It provides a peaceful retreat for travelers looking to connect with nature and indigenous culture. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, where the sound of the ocean and the rustle of coastal trees dominate the soundscape.
Location & Surroundings
Located just a short drive from Port McNeill, the resort sits on a stunning waterfront property that spans both river and ocean shorelines. The surrounding landscape is characterized by pebble beaches, tidal flats, and lush coastal forests. It serves as a gateway to the Broughton Archipelago, offering views of the mountains on the mainland and frequent sightings of marine life right from the shore.
Amenities & Park Features
The park accommodates a variety of setups with its full-hookup RV sites and more rustic dry camping options. Visitors have access to clean washrooms, laundry facilities, and a communal kitchen area. One of the standout features is the Cluxewe Cafe, which serves local favorites during the peak season. The sites are designed to maximize privacy while keeping campers close to the natural trails and the sprawling beach area.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do, from world-class salmon fishing in the river and ocean to birdwatching for bald eagles and blue herons. A short trip into Port McNeill allows for whale-watching tours or taking the ferry to Alert Bay to visit the U'mista Cultural Centre. For those who enjoy hiking, the nearby trails offer opportunities to spot black bears and deer in their natural habitat.
Who This Park Is Best For
This resort is ideal for nature lovers and birdwatchers who prefer a serene environment over a high-activity commercial park. It is a perfect fit for RVers seeking a cultural connection and those who appreciate the raw beauty of the North Island. Whether you are an avid angler or a photographer looking for the perfect sunset, this park offers a slow-paced, authentic Vancouver Island experience.

We stayed in a beachfront cabin for 3 nights and loved every second we were there. It was incredible. Everything was perfect. Words can't really describe the view, it was so beautiful. The cabin was super cozy and had everything we needed from well equipped kitchen to comfortable beds. There was a fire pit right outside which was super nice. Could enjoy the fire right from the little deck on the cabin. The staff were amazing! The power went out and they went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. They came to check on us and I had concerns about getting cold with a baby. He brought us a generator, an electric fireplace, and a lantern. Though the water is not potable, they DO supply drinking water in the cabin. The location is perfect. Its so nice, you really dont have to leave but it is situated where it makes day trips easy. Highly recommend this little piece of paradise. We are already planning our trip for next year. Can't wait!!

Amazing location. We were in site 60 facing the ocean and the views were breathtaking. Very well maintained sites and washrooms. Kids play area is neat as well. Right off the highway.
Salty Beach
We had one of the best campsites at this location! We have been coming back year after year. We have seen humpbacks whales breaching and eating just off the edge of the campground. I have even heard of a wolf sighting here. Great sites, hot water showers, flush toilets, ice cream! We love this place!

Just stayed for two nights in the campground. After checking in found that our neighbor was a die hard rock fan who insisted that his music should be heard by all. He agreed to turn it down but did not and was driving me nuts. Fortunately was able to switch out for another site and camp in peace. Thank you! Showers clean and sites well maintained. Awesome views of Malcolm Island and the Inside Passage. Good wifi. Would definitely return.

Beautiful location, friendly staff, glad to have power and water at the site and be close to the washroom. However, we are NOT happy AT ALL with the gigantic bright white LED street lamp hanging directly over our campsite that turned on automatically at 9:30pm and didn’t turn off until 5am. How do you expect people in tents to sleep? It felt like the middle of the day while we were laying down and trying to get to bed.
