Elk Falls Suspension Bridge
Bridge
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Beautiful views! Not a long walk from the parking lot, but I immediately felt like I was deep in the forest, so it was really enjoyable. I love the variety of trees species. The suspension bridge is clearly very strong and is an attraction in itself. It offers great views both up and downstream. The...

FoggDukkers Coffee
Cafe
πŸ‘πŸ‘ What a great little coffee shack! Loved the location right on the waterfront. Nice patio with seating. Offers lots of coffee (yay, oat milk) and tea options including iced drinks and a few baked goods (no dairy or gluten-free options). Purchased a bag of freshly roasted organic coffee beans. I d...

Rebecca Spit Marine Provincial Park
State park
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Rebecca Spit is truly a treasure. The beaches on the bay side are sandy with tons of picnic tables - a terrific spot for families. On the Salish Sea side the pristine beach is covered with amazing beach rocks and driftwood. The views of the Discovery Islands are breathtaking and the water is so clea...

U'mista Cultural Centre
Museum
πŸ‘πŸ‘ One of the top Indigenous cultural centres I’ve ever been. Up there with the Haida in Sandspit. Amazing First Nation pieces presented in a stunning space. Moving. Sad. Beautiful. Educational. It’s all there. Highly recommend visiting it.

Elk Falls
Scenic spot
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Elk falls is an amazing park! I had to visit every viewing platform including the suspension bridge. I ended up walking the whole loop over to moose falls. Trails are well maintained and have easy elevation gains.

Lower Myra Falls image

Lower Myra Falls
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Definitely worth the visit. There’s a handful of parking spots, and the walk down to the falls was short and well labelled. It requires quite an uphill walk back to return to the car. Gravel road mostly. A very beautiful, yet windy drive to get here. The speed limits vary, and there are pullout...

Beaver Lodge Lands
Park
πŸ‘πŸ‘ These are beautiful, in town recreational trails. Five main entrances to these trails, three have parking lots. Two entrances have gates that get locked at night - if you are parked in the parking lot - you'll have to leave your car there overnight. Some trails are actually wide dirt &/or gravel...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ My lunch date was awesome, great food... Best beef dip ever we added mushrooms to it tho, the clubhouse was good too (shared half of each so we could both try each sandwich) and the customer service was awesome! Very much appreciate that they do not discriminate anyone no matter your race, health is...

Sushi Mong Campbell River
Sushi restaurant
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Wow! Whenever I eat at a new restaurant, I always read the reviews. Mainly, the 1 & 2 star reviews. There are way, way too many of those for this restaurant, specifically complaining about the food, which says a lot about the people leaving the reviews. This is a fantastic sushi restaurant and is *e...

Brown's Bay Resort
Resort hotel
πŸ‘πŸ‘ 25 out of 10. So.. we decided to choose this place after changing our wedding venue last year. We had been a few times before for day trips, sight seeing etc. But I was not prepared AT ALL for the outstanding service. Quite literally, every staff member of the Browns Bay/ripple rock RV park was phen...

Session Taproom + Kitchen
Restaurant
πŸ‘ Food was 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Waitress a chilly coo πŸ„ at best. If it wasn't for her cool disposition I'd easily give it a 5. The fish tacos were very tasty with a lovely curry flavor and my "piggy went to market pizza" was delicious. (PS add πŸ„ mushrooms, even tho it should just be a part of t...

Museum At Campbell River
Museum
πŸ‘πŸ‘ So much more than I would have expected! Full sized dioramas of a float home, cabin, hotel, not unlike the RBCM. One of the first logging trucks - so interesting. Great collection of indigenous masks and other artifacts, though interpretation in that area in need of update and expansion. In other ar...
