Bates Beach Oceanfront and RV Park — RV Camping in Courtenay, BC

Bates Beach Oceanfront and RV Park sits along the shores of Georgia Strait in Courtenay, British Columbia, offering a rare combination of full-service RV camping and stunning coastal scenery on Vancouver Island. The park features tidal pools, sandbars, and rocky beaches that reveal themselves at low tide, along with sweeping views of coastal mountains across the strait. RV sites come equipped with water, sewer, electrical hookups (30-amp), and internet access, while on-site amenities include showers, washrooms, a dump station, laundry facilities, grills, picnic tables, firewood, and a playground — making it a comfortable base for families and big rigs alike. Pets are welcome, and RV storage is available on-site. Guests can rent kayaks and paddleboards to explore nearby Seal Bay reef, launch a boat directly from the property, or cast a line in the productive coastal waters. Winter storm watching draws visitors in the off-season, while the broader Comox Valley provides year-round outdoor recreation. Whether arriving for a weekend or an extended Vancouver Island road trip, Bates Beach delivers an authentic oceanfront camping experience with full amenities just minutes from the city of Courtenay.
