Visiting CAMPBELL RIVER, BC + Hiking in ELK FALLS | Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Come join us for another exciting travel day on Vancouver Island as we head north to Campbell River, BC to enjoy visiting the town before going hiking at Elk Falls.
After our stop at Miracle Beach, we hopped back in the car and continued our drive up to Campbell River, British Columbia. After a week of spotting black bears left, right and centre, we had a funny little incident where we thought a dog was one.
Once we got into town, we checked out some of the murals and browsed through antiques at the Trading Post, before heading down to the pier.
The Discovery Pier is Canada’s first saltwater fishing pier, so it’s a little piece of history. It looks out over the Discovery Passage and it’s a popular fishing spot. The pier stretches out 600 ft and is equipped with rod holders, bait stands, and fish cleaning tables. You can even rent fishing rods if you’re there between May and October.
That afternoon we continued to the Quinsam River Hatchery, because, have I already mentioned that Campbell River is the Salmon Capital of the World?! The hatchery has a visitor center with information about the hatchery program and the salmon life cycle, but really, I think most of us were there for a chance to spot a black bear fishing.
You can see pink adults in September, and chinook and coho adults in October and November. It’s open to visitors seven days a week from 8:00am to 3:30pm, and well worth the visit if you’re already in the area. From there, it was onwards to nearby Elk Falls.
One of the main draws to Elk Falls is the 25-metre waterfall that gives the park its name. There is a suspension bridge for those willing to brave the heights, as well as viewing decks.
And that’s pretty much a wrap for our day exploring Campbell River, BC and the surrounding area.
A special thanks to TROVER for making this trip possible.

Visiting CAMPBELL RIVER, BC + Hiking in ELK FALLS | Vancouver Island, British Columbia:
Come join us for an epic road trip to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada where partner with Trover to cover the island from the south all the way up to the north. Unlike most Vancouver Island road trips and travel series which focus on the triangle of Vancouver, Nanaimo and Tofino, we branch off and visit lesser-known places such as Gold River, Port Alice and Malcolm Island just to name a few.
Our trip to Vancouver Island starts off with a flight from Toronto to Vancouver, followed by the shortest flight of our lives from Vancouver to Victoria. From Victoria, we head to our base of Mount Washington in the central part of the island, where highlights include spotting black bears, hiking in Mount Washington and visiting vineyards in Comox.
Our journey then continues to Gold River, Sam's hometown, where we board the Uchuck III en route to Friendly Cove. We also go to nearby Campbell River where we walk along a beautiful fishing dock, tour a hatchery and come across a black bear, and hike in Elk Falls which was our favourite hike on this entire journey.
Heading to northern Vancouver Island, we base ourselves in Port Alice and visit the nearby towns of Port McNeill, Port Hardy and Telegraph Cove. For separate day trips, we take the ferry to Malcolm Island where we visit the former Finnish Community of Sointula and take another ferry to Alert Bay where we have the opportunity to appreciate First Nations totem poles, artwork and museums.
Our Vancouver Island road trip concludes with visits to Parksville, Nanaimo and Victoria. Overall, it was one of the best road trips we've ever done focusing mostly on nature, outdoor adventure, wildlife spotting and visiting off-the-beaten-path villages and communities that have a lot to offer but aren't that well known.
If you are thinking of doing a Canada road trip, Vancouver Island should be at the top of your list. For more information and tips on all the places we visited on Vancouver Island, you can check out this Trover list:

Von Campbell River nach Alder Bay
Nadja ist heute früh aufgestanden und raus ans Meer gegangen. Als Sie zurückkommt, berichtet sie vom Gefühl „beobachtet worden zu sein“. Als Sie sich umschaute bestätigte sich das Gefühl. Eine Robbe schwamm im Wasser und schaute Ihr genau zu, was sie da am Strand so machte. Diese Vielfalt der Natur hier ist einfach Spitzenklasse.
Wir genießen einen frischen Kaffee mit Meerblick und ich fülle noch unsere Feuerholzvorräte auf. Für 8 Dollar gibt es hier eine ganze Schubkarre voll Holz, was prima in das Staufach im Slideout passt. Heute geht es zum Alder Bay Campground, direkt gegenüber den Insel Alert Bay. Der Tag heute ist mit einer Fahretappe von ca. drei Stunden relativ überschaubar. Die eindrucksvolle Landschaft zieht an uns vorbei, und wir merken, hier oben im Norden wird es immer ruhiger. Auf dem Campground angekommen beziehen wir unseren Stellplatz mit Blick auf die Bucht. Der Campingplatz ist noch ziemlich leer, wobei interessanterweise viele Deutsche hier sind. Wir genießen den Nachmittag am Strand und sammeln mit Johanna Muscheln. Nach Robben und Walen halten wir heute vergeblich Ausschau. Ein Drachen schwebt am Himmel, am anderen Ende der Leine ist Nadja. Das freundliche Team von Fraserways hatte Johanna bei der Übergabe des Pickup Camper einen kleinen Windvogel geschenkt. Abends machen wir uns noch etwas leckeres zu Essen und lassen den Tag am Lagerfeuer ausklingen.
Lieben Gruß,
Jens
