Tsawaak RV Resort and Campground
Tofino, British Columbia
33 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 5 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer
Tsawaak RV Resort and Campground in Tofino, BC, offers 34 full-hookup RV sites, 9 cabins, and 5 tent sites, with 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 76 feet.
Sites come as deluxe RV sites, deluxe pull-throughs, and a double site, plus a named RV rental for guests arriving without a rig. All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Note the electrical: the resort runs 50-amp service, so a rig wired for lighter service will need an adapter. At 76 feet, though, the pull-throughs take a long coach — genuinely rare on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a boutique shop, propane fills, and a hot tub and sauna. Pets are welcome.
A beach, lake access, and forest walking trails support swimming, fishing, paddling, hiking, and birding, with hot springs reachable by boat.
Tsawaak opened in 2023 and is owned and operated by the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, minutes from Tofino's surf breaks and old-growth rainforest. Reaching it means a ferry to Vancouver Island and the highway across.
Rates are on the booking page. Tofino's summer books out months ahead.
