The main thing to know is that you are going here for the spectacular ocean views and beachside camping. It's unparralelled. Howver it is quite cramped and there is nothing for privacy between most sites. I guess we are spoiled by the spacious provincial park sites with their ample privacy. Also not all sites have hookups. One night we went... More

We called ahead and inquired about an oceanfront site. We were told on the phone that those sites are only for tents or very small (up to 17 ft.!) RVs, so we booked a site in the second row, still ocean view. When we arrived, we saw that almost all of the oceanfront sites were occupied by RVs much bigger... More

We have been camping here, multiple times a year, for the past 16 yrs. You can't beat this campground for its beautiful location, proximity to both town and the Pacific Rim National Park. The past few year, with fabulous management in place, we have seen a huge improvement in this campground. The tolerance for noisy partying campers is almost a... More

We've camped at Bella Pacifica before. We enjoyed ourselves last time and this. Yes there's crows...so what, we're camping! The beach is beautiful and it is nice to be able to walk there. The campground is similar to others we have stayed at in Tofino and Ucluelet. Nothing special, wood was damp, bathrooms have no soap or anything to dry... More

After a day of trying to get a reservation (phone continuously busy), I submitted an on-line reservation form. The response I got to this was they had sites but to phone for a reservation. If you have an on-line reservation form, why not do the reservation that way. I responded to their email my frustrations in trying to get through... More

An experience that I think every camper should have... Camping ON the beach... Literally. This campground is really nice and tucked away in the woods. The people working here are very nice. The best campsites to get are the ones RIGHT on the beach, but you need to make your reservation way in advance for them. You will enjoy sleeping... More

We arrived tired and eager to get a campsite during the last week of August. BUSY! After checking out a couple of places that made us feel like we were in "Trailer Park Boys" we were just ready to sleep in the truck. Then we came upon Bella Pacifica. Crazy price for a campsite but at that point we just... More

We decided to camp at Bella Pacifica upon a recommendation from a co-worker. We booked months in advance (highly suggested for the summer months) - but only planned to stay the single night and stay with family the other night. This was easily the most expensive campground we have stayed at ($45 /night) and we camp quite a bit around... More

We booked 3 months in advance, and at the time of booking, let the receptionist know that we have a 27ft. trailer with a slide - including the truck, we are 52 ft. long. The site we were given was 158 - an unbelievably narrow, winding path/road to get to the site. Between driving in to the site, trying to... More

I booked a campsite with Bella Pacifica based on a friend's experience. Then when I read the reviews, I started worrying and even regretting booking with them. With the mixed reviews I went with no expectations. Well, our campsite was good, site 101. It was semi-private so there was minimal divider between us and the site beside us. They were... More
