Nanaimo, British Columbia

There is one campground and RV park in Nanaimo and a good selection in the surrounding area.

Ideally located 55 km west of Vancouver (admittedly across a stretch of water), Nanaimo is near to many island attractions, with Tofino, Port Alberni and Rathtrevor Provincial Park among them. Passage to the Gulf Islands is available from here. Nanaimo is fondly named the 'Hub, Tub and Pub City', alluding, in turn, to its hub-style street arrangements, its bathtub racing status and its numerous pubs. You can explore the Old City Quarter, a revitalized heritage area with shops, businesses and restaurants. Nanaimo's regional museum provides colourful depictions of the historical past. Such features as these, in combination with the moderate maritime climate, help draw tourists to this port city.
