Salt Spring Island: Camping at Ruckle Provincial Park
Last July, my wife and I took these photos while we were camping in Ruckle Provincial Park on beautiful Saltspring Island, in British Columbia. We took all of these photos from our campsite, as we were fortunate enough to stay in one of the beachfront campsites and admire the supermoon that night.
All photos take with either:
Fujifilm X-T10 (my photos), or;
Fujifilm X-E1 (my wife's photos)

First Time on Salt Spring Island | camping + vegan eats
Hey everyone! I went to Salt Spring Island for my first time this most recent long weekend here in Canada and it was really a very interesting, beautiful and rewarding trip.
It was great to get out of the city and get more grounded as a human.
Lots of the trip consisted of ferries, camping, eating, and doing some exploring and climbing.
Info and links:
We took BC Ferries from Tsawwassen to Long Harbor, Salt Spring Island. If I were to bike next time I would probably take the ferry to Victoria then to Fulford which is a lot closer to our camping site.
Camping: We stayed in Ruckle Provincial Park which is a gorgeous coastal park with views of ferries going by and lots of incredible stars. There is water, pit toilets, firepits, and maintained trails and campsites. Pretty affordable but I would definitely try to get reservations unless for peace of mind.
Bus: There is a bus that leaves Ruckle during the summer but it only leaves the park twice a day. Not really good to depend on but better than nothing, I guess? The actual bus service on the more main parts of the island seems decent, though.
Rock Salt Cafe: This is where I got a nice tofu curry dish.
Morningside Cafe: Okay absolutely incredible and beautiful place. I legit cried when I entered and sat down in this place for my first time. Food is great but the people and energy is even better.
Mount Maxwell: This is where we got an awesome view of the area plus did some climbing. There were some decent routes that were fun to do with bolts and top-rope... I'm not really too experienced with climbing but I had a good time!
Salt Spring Wild Cider: This place was in a nice location but were unfortunately sold out of a lot of the vegan options they had. It was the long weekend so I'll give them a pass but it did make us even more hungry and cranky until we get some more food.
Salt Spring Soft Serve: Okay BEST vegan soft serve I have had. It's creamy, not icy with a great selection of sundae toppings. I highly recommend the Strawberry Love one.
After some more vegan eats at camp (featuring the new Lightlife burgers vs. Beyond Meat) we packed up and made the journey back to Vancouver.
Have you been to Salt Spring before? Did I miss anything? I definitely want to go back soon, this time hopefully by bike.
