Trailer is in good condition. All internal items/functions mentioned in listing are working as described. The owner is very prompt to questions, and helped setup all the basics (water, electricity, sewer) upon delivery. We had really great 1st time camping experience. Hope to rent with you again. :)

How to get to Porpoise Bay Provincial Park

From Vancouver, travellers take BC Ferries from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale (about 40 minutes on the water), then drive roughly 45 minutes up Highway 101 to Sechelt. The park is four kilometres north of Sechelt off Highway 101, with vehicle access via Sechelt Inlet Road northeast of Sechelt. RVers should reserve ferry space in advance, as Horseshoe Bay to Langdale sailings fill quickly in summer and oversize vehicles require confirmed bookings. Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is the nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips, about a two-hour drive plus ferry from the park.
