One of the worst campsites I have ever stayed at. All we could do was laugh about it. Sites were minuscule and so close together. I don't mind pit toilets but these were absolutely filthy! Never saw any "park attendants". Not like any provincial park I have ever stayed at. Very close to one of the most beautiful beaches so that was a redeeming point.

The campsite looks a little abandoned. Some of the toilets are really disgusting and haven’t been cleaned in a while. No one is in the office to help you out, forcing you to book online and pay the $10 “reservation” fee. No one seems to be around to answer questions or enforce their quiet hours. They have a few showers, that seem ok if you don’t look too close, but it costs $2 per 2 minutes… The sites are pretty much whatever; most are uneven, in the trees, not very private. The only reason we stayed is because of the easy access to the bike trails.

This is NOT a provincial campsite! The roads are not paved (also lots of pot holes) and there are trees right on the side of the road that make it near impossible to drive a trailer through the property. Sites are small. Pit toilets only. Showers look like they haven’t been updated since the 1980’s. 4 showers for over 100 camping sites. Electric hook up for trailers in 9 sites, but NO sani- dump hook up or dumping on the island! Well water on site.

Going back after 15 years, not much has changed at Tribune Bay campsite. It would be wonderful if the owners put some care and maintenance into the bathrooms and showers, a coat of paint and proper cleaned by staff daily goes a long way. The office hours are very short each day so make sure you have loonies for the showers! The location of the campground is superb.

We booked our site online back in February. We were told a few weeks later that there had been a glitch with their booking system and they need to move our site, as the one we originally booked would be where the new septic field would be. We had zero problem with this and were offered another similar site close to the rest of our group. We received a new confirmation email and our Visa was charged, as it should’ve been. July 24th, we travelled from Comox Valley and arrived to check-in at 12pm, only to find that there will still occupants in the site we were booked to stay at. We tracked down a Parks Attendant, and they informed us they had double booked our site. A few moments later they told us they had a backup site we could have. We were pretty disappointed, as it was literally on the opposite end of the campground from where the rest of our group was staying, but thankful we weren’t going to be turned away. A few hours later, our friends who booked a double site found out the other party wasn’t coming and offered us to move to their site. Of course we jumped at the opportunity to be closer to our group. We went to tell the Park Attendant that we were moving into the double site and asked if our park fees could be transferred to pay for half the double site. They flat out told us they wouldn’t be giving anyone a refund or credit, despite them messing up my booking TWICE, and even said “we could’ve just cancelled your booking and you wouldn’t have had anything….” While I’m thankful that everything did work out for us, I’m pretty bummed with how the situation was handled. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else, so my advice is to call ahead to ensure your booking is correct!

Want a refugee camp experience where no one enforces quiet hours and you can see all your neighbours? Want pit-toilets and pay-showers? Clearly some families like this place but it strikes me this campsite profiteers off campers who don't know where else to go.

Thank you so much for an amazing visit! The kids had an absolute blast and we made lots of fun memories. The campsite is really well cared for and staff were ready to help with any problems or questions. The family-friendly vibe was delightful and the location between the beach and the co-op store made for a stress-fee camping experience. The sites are very close together and there were lots of families, so it was definitely bustling, but we found all the other campers to be chill and considerate, and the quiet hours were respected.The bay at low tide on a sunny day is a slice of paradise. As an Aussie I didn't find the water warm, but it was crystal clear and refreshing on the hot days. The sand was soft and clean. If you wanted to be deep in nature and away from people, this might not be the right place for you but it was perfect for us with 2 small, busy, curious kids. We really look forward to coming back as soon as we can.

Had an amazing stay here. Very close walk to the beach and co-op. Very clean and well-maintained campsite with great family vibes. I look forward to returning next year!

Love this place and what a perfect location! Be aware that the ferries get backed up and you could potentially be waiting for hours and hours to get there and get back....hours!
