4) Discovery Pier is probably one of the most accessible fishing spots on the coast. Located in the heart of Campbell River on Northern Vancouver Island, the 600-foot pier is a great place to take the kids for a lazy afternoon of saltwater fishing. The Pier even offers equipment rentals and a concession stand. For the record, Campbell River also stakes a claim to being salmon capital of the world, so as you’ll appreciate, this town takes its fishing seriously! Brown’s Bay Resort, Marina & Ripple Rock RV Park, Elk Falls Provincial Park, Salmon Point Resort RV Park & Marina, Campbell River Fishing Village & RV Park and Parkside Campground and RV Park offer anglers a wide variety of options.

Fairy Lake Recreation site, an open, RV- friendly site with a beautiful sandy beach and Lizard Lake with 28 treed campsites. Located two hours northwest of Victoria on Highway 14, Port Renfrew and Sooke are just some of the spots along Vancouver Island’s southwest coast that offer great fishing for coho and chinook salmon. This is primarily a small-boat fishery, but anglers can also go fishing with one of the areas’ many charter operators or contact a local marina for information on boat rentals. The west coast of Vancouver Island offers excellent camping and RVing including Port Renfrew Recreational Retreat with 33 spacious and private RV sites, San Juan River Recreation Site (accessible with two wheel drive) and Fairy Lake Recreation site, an open, RV-friendly site with a beautiful sandy beach.
