Living Forest Oceanside Campground & RV Park

Living Forest Oceanside Campground & RV Park We LOVE Vancouver Island and want to share it with you! Welcome to the Island! Here's a bit about our park. It's family run, and for families!
(1901)

There are amazing things to see and do in every direction and we hope you'll share part of your camping adventures with us. Our promise is to give you a place to find honest local information about things to see and do all over the Island, through photos, stories, maps, videos and answer your questions. We camp too and we're all in this together! We think our award winning park stands on it's own,

so you won't get a 'sell job' here. Our goal is to provide you with the kind of information we look for when we're traveling and camping- just ask and we'll try to help. I'm a real person and do my best to make this a fun place to visit -- our park AND our page! - Scott of the Forest

Living Forest Oceanside Campground & RV Park is 53 natural acres of ocean, forest and river that make up this year round park. It has 300 gorgeous sites. Our extensive site menu includes 50 amp, pull thrus, oceanside, oceanview, forested, riverside, full service, partial service or no services, 'nose in first' sites for motorhomes to take advantage of the view, wi-fi, sunny or shady sites, even blue, green or yellow sites --- OK, OK -- we can't do colours! But you get the idea-- this is a big beautiful property with lots to do- miles of walking on our paved roads or quiet trails, bicycling, paddling, swimming in the amazing Nanaimo River, birding, basketball, bocce, games room, beach volleyball, or just enjoy a gourmet coffee or ice cream from an outdoor table with a view at the Living Forest Cafe'. We offer truly incredible camping, naturally! If you're a tent camper, or have a small RV like a truck and camper, tent trailer, or van conversion, we have a whole section of the park set up just for you- many with water and electricity.

Happy Friday everyone!

From ownership, to every level of management, to our office staff, site crew and café staff, women are and always have been essential to every part of our business. We have had the pleasure of working with dozens of inspiring, kind, resilient and hard working women over the last three decades, and consider their contributions essential to our success. Happy International Women’s Day!

Easter weekend rules:

We take reservations a year ahead of your arrival date, EXCEPT for Easter weekend.
Easter weekend is traditionally our first busy weekend of the year for overnighters, but it also falls when the majority of our winter snowbirds are leaving, so we like to give them some flexibility in deciding when they leave our park.
This year, we will begin taking reservations for Easter weekend on TUESDAY, MARCH 3rd at 8AM.

What else you need to know:
We prioritize in person reservations first, but will have extra staff on answering the phone (250-755-1755).
Email reservations will not be answered until the afternoon.
Guests will be able to book a maximum of two sites each.
Reservations must be for a minimum of three nights.
Please have more than one site in mind in case your top choice has already been booked.
Our Easter egg hunt will take place the morning of Sunday, April 5th.

Happy LOVE day!
