Holyrood Interpretive Center | Informal Campsite

Great place to sleep or hang out. Quiet, safe, 24 hour rest room, river view. Maybe 1/2 mile walk across bridge to whale area....one of them. Whales are great.

You can electronically send $10. to the community fund a night, and donate to their bathroom supply fund for soap and TP. Happy to do both. Great place and kind of the community to allow us to park here overnight. I have 5 bars of Verizon.

Very nice of the community to allow the rv folks a spot to park. Off the road, next to 24 hour bathroom, view of the river. Maybe 1/2 mile walk across bridge ti whale feeding spot....one of them.

You can electronically send $10. a night for staying here, and donate to the bathroom supply fund.

Happy to do both....Great quiet safe place to sleep.

Be aware....no food store, no restaurants, no gas. You need to stock up in St Mary's.

As described. Gravel area next to centre. Wash rooms in centre.
No signs, some trailers unhooked.
Not much room to turn, large rigs will find it difficult.

NOTE. NOT A FREE CAMPING SITE, A $10 DONATION, PER NIGHT IS EXPECTED.

As per described earlier. Beautiful and super quiet.

Great spot for overnight. Clean washrooms (2), boat ramp, rocky beach. Enough flat area or 10-12 full size rigs...back in/back out only...but, if low attendance, you can swing around safely.

We had a good night until 2h30am because of the wind (40km/hr), you should look at it before going to bed… washroom open 24h, clean and they ask for donation on a sign inside for soap, toilet paper,… Good idea.
And there is a bin to put toilet paper, not in the toilet itself.
Nice view on the water, garbage bins, picnic table.
We saw a small RV (16’) sleeping at the Gutt on the other side of the bridge but there is a sign NO OVERNIGHT PARKING.

Great spot to spend the night, large parking enough space for at least 10 rvs, there was 9 of us and could have fit a couple more. Tent friendly. There is public toilets hours open from 12h (noon)-8pm. 1-2 mins walk across the road for whale watching. We only saw one whale near the shore at sunset but it was beautiful, it kept coming back up on multiple occasions. Worth the stop for sure!

A grassy area and gravel parking lot on the edge of the water. Two travel trailers were set up broadside to the water in the grassy area taking all the space. About 10 other (class B’s, truck campers, small trailers) filled the lot. Two toilets with sinks open all night.
Lots of local traffic in the evening.

Great location just of of highway. no rush noise at night. Lots of wind, but that's everywhere here! No whales yet for us. Big friendly waves from the local fishermen.

Just a gravel carpark next to the Holyrood Interpretive Center. Overnight parking is on the beach side only. There are a few houses around but you are allowed to stay here. About 6 other RV’s around, closely parked. Opposite St Vincent’s beach with spectacular whale watching right on the beach!!
