Miracle Beach Provincial Park sits between Courtenay and Campbell River on Vancouver Island, where Black Creek meets the ocean. A wide sandy beach, warm shallow water, tide pools, and a Nature House make it one of the best family campgrounds on the island.
All of that keeps it busy through the summer. The useful questions are what the sites are like (there is no power), how to book, and what to do when the reservation page is already full.
