July 11, 2008 Leaving French Beach Provincial Park, Vancouver Island BC
We drove to French Beach just north of Sooke. According to the website you have to make reservations at least 2 days in advance. We took a chance that we’d get a site as there at 18 sites that are available on a “first come, first serve basis”.
Site 43 was perfect, plenty of natural privacy, a nice picnic bench and a deep metal grate for a campfires or cooking. There are outhouse-like toilets through out the park clean and well-stocked with TP and hand sanitizer. This park is impeccably maintained and perfect for family camping. http://www.frenchbeachpark.com/
There is a nice walk to the beach and a coastal hiking trail. We never went hiking as sitting on the rocky beach listening to the waves was irresistible. Most of our time was spent just sitting, reading and relaxing.

Reservations must be made if you plan to stay longer than a day as the park fills up quickly with advanced reservations, especially on the weekend. Thus far, this has been our favorite campsite. The cost $15 per night.

$15 a night - sounds like a steal! :)
