Green Point in Pacific Rim

Green Point is the campground in the Long Beach Unit of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. It offers several site types, with seasonal opening and a reservation process managed by Parks Canada. Check the current booking window and available dates directly; this guide does not show live inventory.

Private campgrounds near Tofino

Private campgrounds provide another way to stay near Tofino. Compare Surf Grove and Bella Pacifica through the local accommodation directory, then confirm site type and amenities with each property. Do not assume a tent site, RV site and rental unit include the same facilities.

Choose the right campsite

Check vehicle length, hookups, tent capacity, washrooms, cooking arrangements and cancellation rules before paying. Clarify whether pets are allowed and what restrictions apply. For another style of stay, compare cabins and resorts.

Plan a wet-weather camp

Bring a plan for keeping bedding dry, cooking in permitted areas and storing food securely. Follow current fire restrictions and campground instructions. Public beach access or a parking space does not create permission to camp overnight.
