Campgrounds near Courtenay, British Columbia
Courtenay sits on the east coast of Vancouver Island in the Comox Valley, roughly midway between Nanaimo and Campbell River. The city works well as an RV base: the Strait of Georgia shoreline, the Puntledge and Tsolum rivers, Comox Lake, and the alpine terrain of Mount Washington are all within a short drive. The Comox Valley includes the City of Courtenay, the Town of Comox, the Village of Cumberland, and the surrounding communities of Royston, Union Bay, Fanny Bay, Black Creek, Merville, Denman Island, and Hornby Island.
Campground options range from full-service private parks to a community-run provincial site. Puntledge RV Campground sits in Courtenay and offers full-service, partial, and dry sites with water, hydro, sewer, WiFi, hot showers, and laundry. Seal Bay RV Park, The Park at Crown Isle, and Bates Beach Oceanfront and RV Park round out the private full-hookup choices, while Kitty Coleman Beach Provincial Park provides oceanfront dry camping north of town.
Most sites cluster within about ten kilometres of downtown, keeping groceries, laundromats, propane, and dump stations close for RV renters.
Things to do around Courtenay
The valley is built for outdoor days. The Puntledge River corridor offers walking trails, swimming holes, and summer salmon runs, and the Salish Sea shoreline is a short drive in almost any direction. Mount Washington Alpine Resort, about a 30-minute drive uphill, offers lift-served hiking and mountain biking in summer and downhill skiing in winter.
On the coast, Bates Beach has tidal pools and sand bars at low tides, rocky shore, and kayak launches, with paddling south at low tide toward the reef at Seal Bay. Kitty Coleman Beach Park is popular for swimming, boating, fishing, and oceanfront camping, with facilities that include a picnic shelter, two boat launches, and several nature trails.
Cumberland's mountain bike network, the Courtenay Riverway walkway, and the Comox Air Force Museum add rainy-day and family options.

Peak RV season runs from late June through early September, when daytime highs sit in the low twenties Celsius and rainfall is at its lowest. November is the wettest month, averaging about 338 mm of precipitation, while July is the driest, with an average near 51 mm. July and August are also when the beaches, salmon rivers, and Mount Washington's summer lifts are busiest, so book well ahead.
Shoulder seasons work well for renters who want quieter sites. Spring brings cool nights and blooming trails, while September and early October usually stay dry and mild before the fall rains build.
Kitty Coleman Provincial Park is open for camping from April 16 through September 30. Private parks in the area, including Puntledge RV Campground and Seal Bay RV Park, generally operate year-round, and Bates Beach also stays open in the off-season. Winter travel is possible if the RV is set up for cold, wet conditions, and it pairs well with skiing at Mount Washington.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a great experience renting from them! Our trip was a very last-minute plan, and they were incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The trailer was exactly what we needed, and we really appreciated how helpful they were in making everything come together on short notice. We wouldn't hesitate to rent from them again. Highly recommend!
Salina M. - Jul 2026
Great hosts. Friendly and responsive. Trailer was exactly as described and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. The king bed was comfy, my kids complained a bit about the bunk mattresses, they were a little thin.

How to book a campground near Courtenay
Private parks in the Comox Valley take direct online reservations. Puntledge RV Campground, The Park at Crown Isle, Seal Bay RV Park, and Bates Beach Oceanfront and RV Park all publish availability on their websites or through booking platforms, and summer weekends should be locked in months ahead.
Provincial park bookings work differently. As of 2026, BC Parks uses a three month rolling window for campground reservations, reduced from four months in 2025, so campsites can be booked three months in advance of the arrival date. Reservations open at 7 a.m. Pacific Time.
Kitty Coleman is an exception. Because it is a community-run, Class C provincial park, Kitty Coleman does not use the regular BC Parks reservation system. Campers can call the caretaker to check how many sites are available, sites can be held for same-day arrival, and phone reservations are only taken for the group sites.
What to expect on the ground
Expect a mix of forested and oceanfront settings within a small radius. Seal Bay RV Park sits on 20 natural acres just north of Courtenay adjacent to a regional park, with 150 sites, full hook-ups including 30 and 50 amp service, hydro, water, sewer, and wireless internet. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit, and the park has coin-operated showers and laundry. The Park at Crown Isle in Comox combines RV sites with an on-site clubhouse, restaurant, and par-3 golf course.
Kitty Coleman is more rustic. There are 65 vehicle-accessible campsites at this park, with pit toilets and hand pumps. The water hand pumps are under a boil water advisory and are to be used for extinguishing fires only; potable water is available at the park office.
Cell service is generally strong in Courtenay and Comox and weaker on backroads toward Mount Washington. Black bears, cougars, and deer are present in the valley, so food storage rules apply at all sites.
