Very good place, we enjoyed our weekend there so much and for sure will return back. We had the first line, ocean view camping spot, for the truck and a tent, lots of space. The view was marvelous, the hosts are friendly and welcome, always ready to help. The highest marks and good recommendations to use this place for your vacation or weekend.

Nice and quiet place direct on the ocean. In summer time it’s even warm enough to have a swim. The owners are friendly and really helpful. I just stayed in a tent for one night. Totally recommended. Free Wi-Fi.

I cycled from Vancouver to Cortes Island and back, and I camped at Deep Bay RV park in both directions. This RV park is bike-packer friendly. The owners were welcoming and the views of the ocean are stunning. The hot showers and community kitchen were also a welcomed surprise. I slept peacefully both nights, which is key when bike packing. Some reviews here complain about a lack of privacy, but I found the long-term members friendly, welcoming, and respectful of privacy. I would choose a place like Deep Bay RV over any provincial campground.

Unbelievable. It cost 2.00 to get an empty plate to share food. Asked the waitress why and she said it was to cover the dish soap and labour cost. WHAT? That was just too much over top. If l owned the place l would be absolutely embarrassed to do be doing such an insane thing!!!!!!
