A beautiful campground, open year-round (with limited services). French Beach is one of the most popular campgrounds in the area, and as the summer months hit, the “no vacancy” sign stays up until fall, so book early.

French Beach Provincial Park is a popular day-use area sharing the one-kilometer-long beach with the French Beach Campground along the Juan de Fuca Strait.

French Beach Campground offers large private sites, and some can accommodate units over 32ft. Most sites are shaded and quite private, and every site is outfitted with a fire pit and picnic table. There are no powered sites.

There are walking trails through the forest and down to the beach. The day-use area has a playground, picnic tables and fire pits
A private and well-equipped group area is also available during the main camping season
A Sani-Station is available located across the road
Cold water taps are located throughout the park. Taps are shut off during the off-season
Many trails and beaches are within a short drive from the campground including Priest Cabin Park Trail just down the road.

French Beach Provincial Park lies on the picturesque Strait of Juan de Fuca, off the west coast of southern Vancouver Island. With its meandering trails through luscious forests as well as a vast expanse of green grass that overlooks this pebble-and-sand beach, it is no wonder why visitors flock here to take part in peaceful picnics and refreshing dips in the ocean.

Spectacular views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains await you at this 1,600-meter beachfront park. Here, you can explore nature’s wonders while spotting wildlife or simply take in the scenery.
