Introducing Campbell River
Southerners will tell you this marks the end of civilization on Vancouver Island, but Campbell River is a former rough-and-ready resource town that’s reinvented itself as a drop-off point for wilderness tourism; it’s the main departure point for Strathcona Provincial Park. Check out the town’s scattered driftwood carvings and stroll the pier for some great views of the nearby forested islands. The Visitor Centre (250-287-4636, 866-830-1113; www.campbellriver.travel; 1235 Shoppers Row; 9am-7pm) can fill you in on local happenings.
