French Beach Provincial Park

Coastal campground on Vancouver Island's west side with ocean views and beach access.

This 69-site provincial park sits on a bluff overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, offering some of the best oceanfront camping on southern Vancouver Island. Sites range from basic tent spots to larger RV-friendly spaces with picnic tables and fire rings. The beach below is accessible via a short trail and perfect for storm watching or whale spotting. Park fills up on summer weekends.

Access is straightforward off Highway 14 west of Sooke. The campground stays open year-round but services are reduced in winter. No hookups available, but there’s a dump station and clean washrooms with hot showers. Strong winds are common, so secure your gear.
