Tucked into a forested bluff overlooking the wild surf of Long Beach, Green Point Campground is the crown jewel of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on Vancouver Island. Located between Tofino and Ucluelet, this beloved west coast destination offers a magical combination of lush rainforest, rugged coastline, and oceanfront adventure—all from the comfort of a well-maintained, peaceful campground.
Green Point is the only campground within Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, making it a prime spot for campers who want front-row access to the coast. The campground offers 94 campsites, including drive-in spots, walk-in tent pads, and a few oTENTik glamping units. Sites are nestled among giant cedars and Sitka spruce, providing both privacy and shelter from the region’s frequent rain. Some sites sit dramatically above the beach with filtered ocean views, while others feel deep in the temperate forest—each with its own unique vibe.
One of Green Point’s biggest draws is its direct access to Long Beach, one of Canada’s most iconic stretches of sand. With waves crashing and driftwood scattered along the shoreline, it’s a dream for surfers, beachcombers, and sunset seekers alike. Just a short trail from most campsites, the beach invites morning strolls with coffee in hand, afternoon boogie board sessions, and awe-inspiring storm watching in shoulder season. The campground’s peaceful setting makes it an excellent base for exploring nearby tide pools, rainforest trails, and interpretive programs offered by Parks Canada.
Facilities at Green Point strike a nice balance between rustic and convenient. There are flush toilets, drinking water, food storage lockers, and showers—though no electrical hookups or sani-dump, making it best suited for tenters, campervans, and smaller RVs. Firewood is available with a Parks Canada fire permit, and picnic tables at each site offer cozy spots for campfire meals among mossy trees and ocean mist.
Be warned: this place is extremely popular. Reservations are required in peak season and often book out months in advance. Rain is a common companion on the coast, so pack quality gear, extra tarps, and layers. While there’s no Wi-Fi and limited cell reception, that’s part of the magic—Green Point invites you to disconnect, listen to the waves, and sink into the rhythms of the forest and sea.
If you’re looking for a coastal camping experience that blends nature, tranquility, and raw West Coast beauty, Green Point delivers in spades. Whether you’re falling asleep to the sound of surf or sipping coffee under a canopy of towering trees, this campground offers something deeply grounding and unforgettable. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to experience the Pacific like never before.
