Kin Beach, Comox BC
We are just outside Comox BC tonight at a small campsite. We had a great deal of difficulty finding it and we drove right by one time without finding it at all. We were about to leave town to try and find something else, but I wanted to fill up with gas, so when stopped I asked where the campsite was. The girl at the till didn’t really know, but she got a map, and a man who was also in the store showed me the correct location. I assume it is called “Kin” beach as it must have been sponsored by the Kinsmen since there is a plaque honouring a Kinsman on the site.
We walked down to the ocean and along the beach. You can’t go far without running into private residences though. It is a very small park. There are private residences on either side, and one right in the middle of the park. Perhaps it is just a cabin, but looked much like a small house. There were always two or three small dark black rabbits eating around the cabin each time you went by.
We had stopped at a different camp site just south of Campbell River but it was pretty busy, and cost more than I wanted to spend to possibly sit in the rain. Somehow we missed the next park, though if it is signed as well as this one (no signs at all) then it would be easy to see why. So when we got to Courtenay we really wanted to find somewhere to camp. This site is good enough for one night, and at twelve dollars, the cheapest site we’ve been at in British Columbia.
