A quiet, clean provincial campground a short walk from a rocky ocean beach west of Victoria, BC, known for spacious sites and great sunsets. Pit toilets only, with no showers.
French Beach Campground sits in forest just above a pebbly ocean beach on the coast west of Victoria. Campers mention the sunsets, the clean water and the walking path along the top of the beach. Reviewers describe it as well designed, with spacious, easy-to-park sites and little noise from neighbours.
It's a minimal campground, and people like it that way. There are pit toilets only and no showers, but campers watched staff clean the toilets morning and night, and some found them surprisingly fresh for summer. Hosts and staff do regular rounds and are described as friendly. One visitor found it very reasonably priced.
Families appreciate the playground and the picnic tables near the beach, and there's space for groups. Beach walks, sunsets and quiet nights are the main activities. One camper points to a good pizza place just down the road, and one lucky visitor got a site without booking on a long weekend.
The beach is rocky, which can make it hard going for anyone with limited mobility. Sites can feel a little close early in the season before the brush fills in. Come prepared for no showers.
