subject: [Paddlewise] Campground or lodging near Winter Harbour?
Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2008 09:57:09 -0700
A group of us (4) will be heading up to Winter Harbour BC for a trip 
around the Brooks peninsula (weather permitting) later this week.  Can 
anyone recommend a place near Winter Harbour where we could pitch our 
tents the evening before our launch?  The only campground I found 
mentioned (Kwaksistah) may only be for RV's.  If no tent campgrounds, 
can anyone recommend lodging in the area?

Thanks in advance.

Evan, there is a public campground on the water in Winter Harbour. It's not
the softest ground you'll camp on but it's close to the water and has a boat
ramp you can use to launch from. I stoppped there during a Quadra Island to
Port renfrew paddle in 06.  It's called the Kwaksistah Campsite. I'll send you
a Winter Harbour map.
