This is one of my favorite camping trips.
Our trip leader, Becky, is a very experienced and well-prepared leader. She picked June to do this trip so we enjoyed very nice weather.
We wheeled on the ferry from Anacortes to Sidney, BC. The Canda Custom officers were very polite and efficient. After a short walk, we reached a public boat launch south of Sidney Port. This is our put in.
We stayed in the best campsite on the north of the island, Arbutus Point. The other two campsites don't have the privacy and scenic views that we had. I love the view after dinner. So beautiful.
There is a paved central trail, which can access to a 4 mi loop trail follows the shoreline and link to the three campsites (Shell Beach, Princess Bay, Arbutus Point). This hike requires approximately three hours to complete but can be shortened by taking the central forest trails. Some sections of the loop trail are very primitive but you won't get lost.
There is no potable water but next to Prince Bay campsite has an orchard which you are allowed to pick during fruit season.
