We had a wonderful stay. The sites are lovely treed, some sites have an ocean view. Long beach walks every morning and afternoon. Town centre is close by - we took a Whistle Cab into town. So many pathways to walk and trails for bikes. Ample opportunity to relax , swim and surf

We booked this site half a year ago (insane) and it was worth the wait :) What better than having the beach as your backyard. The camping site is divided by trees so that there is privacy. The bathrooms and showers are clean for camping standard (I didn't take a shower here b/c I was too cold). During the summer, there is campfire ban due to forest fires so pls respect the rule! This site is huge. Dont bother setting an alarm - the ravens and steller jays will do the job. Next time, we would to get the ocean view spots ..maybe booking 2 years ahead?

We (2 adults + 3 kids) went to camp out in the must amazing place. The camp ground is located in an amazing rain forest. The nearby beach is one of the must beautiful beaches that i have ever been in. The camp facilities are adequate.

We stayed for a week at Bella Pacifica which has a rule on their website which states “Maximum of 4 persons per site “.I wrote the following letter to Bella Pacifica detailing our concerns observed during our stay which has not been responded to . We just finished a 7 day stay at Bella Pacifica and for the first 5 days enjoyed our stay. It appeared that the Covid regulations were being adhered to . Limited number of people in sites and only one vehicle per site. Masks were worn in the washrooms. On Saturday we moved into site 6 and directly beside us in site 7 a large group set up their site . There were anywhere from 5 to10 people in the site and at times people walked in and joined the group. This was a group of young people with 3 dogs 2 of which were never tied up or on a leash . There were always 2 cars and a times 3 . As the vehicles changed we assumed that the people in site 7 were local to Tofino.I phoned the office on Friday at 8:30 to express my concern about the size of the group and the visitors. I was told that there would be a patrol at 9:30 but when I questioned the visitors to the site I was given no explanation. My husband stepped in dog feces on the gravel trail to the bathroom and we had another pile of feces in our site beside our fire pit which we stepped in and tracked onto our outdoor mat and into our vehicle.These dogs walked throughout the campground all weekend and were never leashed. I am copying the relevant sections of your Covid policy and general policy. “ A strict no visitor policy has been implemented.All guests must be registered at office prior to entering campground.” “Security sweeps will be increased throughout both day and night.” “Pets must be kept on a leash at all times. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Pets must not be left unattended.” I would like clarification of the number of people and dogs permitted in a site . If campground management had wanted to allow a young group to party on the weekend during Covid they could have placed them in one of the sites at the back of the property and not in the smallest most expensive sites on the beach. The campground had only half of its sites occupied.…

My wife and I loved Bella Pacifica. We were in a 25 foot class B+ motorhome in the sea view terrace area. Sites up there are conventional parallel trailer/Rv parking, not huge but adequate. Most sites could use a new dose of road-base (fine gravel) to reduce the dirt/mud, but it was a bit exacerbated by a huge rain/windstorm we had. It was a short walk down to the beach but next time we’ll try to get a spot at beach level. Most of those have full hookups and many are long enough for our unit. A few positive comments (besides the incredible beach and old growth forest.) 1/ the wifi was great. Admittedly we were near the washroom where the wifi transmitter was, I could aim my ubiquiti receiver directly across the road at the antenna. One of the days was very stormy, a Netflix kind of day, so we were happy to be well connected. 2/ the (half km?) road in was freshly graded when we were here so the campground must have listened to other reviews. 3/ some of the tent sites made me wish we were still tenters. Wow the variety of twisty roots and trees, with tent pads in amongst them was so cool, and a few were also a hop,skip from the beach. The beach is a good one for walks, ocean watching, bike riding, and surfing, though I think avid surfers know of better breaks than this one. Tofino is a bike-rideable distance about 3 km, with a multi-use path so you don’t need to ride on the road. We think this campground is a pretty solid 4/5 though we haven’t experienced it in the busy period. But as recent retirees, we camp mostly in shoulder season...we’ll definitely be back. …

You can’t beat the view if you manage to get a spot on the ocean, the campsites are close together but this is to be expected in Tofino, you are at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, I am self contained so I don’t use the washrooms so I can’t comment on that, this place is very dog friendly. The road coming into the campground is terrible and should be fixed but won’t stop me from going there.

The road in was very poorly graded and full of potholes for our visit, although it was fixed on the day we left. The girl working at the front(I think she may have been french canadian) was absolutely lovely and answered all of our questions with great detail. While driving in we were a little worried about our campsite size as some of the sites looked VERY SMALL. Some were maybe big enough for a vehicle and tent to squeeze into, luckily our campsite was quite a bit larger and was perfect for us(perhaps they only book the small ones by request or nearing capacity). As we visited in September the bathrooms were very cold. It may have been helpful if they had full exterior walls instead of partial walls(although maybe there is a reason for this). We were all looking forward to warm showers but the bathrooms themselves were too cold to enjoy a warm shower. Wood for sale was a bit damp so it took us a very long time to start our fires but this was definitely a fun venture. Overall a great stay and an amazing spot!…
