Porpoise Bay PP near Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast should be considered.

IMHO the Sunshine Coast is one of the nicest part of the BC coast.


EH!

I believe Birch Bay SP is the first camping option south of White Rock, and Larrabee the next

G'Day there...Paul is right on..Birch Bay is a fabulous spot. And better than Larrabee by a longshot. Birch Bay, as the name suggests is on a bay and a great spot if there are kids involved. Nice gentle beach, etc. There some #1 spots on an outer ring, after that, they are all just plain nice. Reservations will be a must during summer months and when you call ask about the outer ring, just in case, eh. Plus, the northwestern part Washington is a great area for just hanging out for a couple days. Shopping, sight seeing.

As far as White Rock itself, there are a couple private sites but none compare.

There isn't too much BC land left that is affordable. With Americans scooping up coastal property and Albertans snagging everything in the Kootenays & Okanagan, even RV-sized lots are selling for hundreds of thousands. We'd consider moving north but Gary is already there ... the only good thing about that is it's keeping property prices down.

Same thing happening here in Calgary with everybody move here. I bought my house for 157,000 its now worth close to 400,000 cause of everybody jacking up the prices cause to many people showing up and buying everything leaving a shortage.

In White Rock, just with in eyesight of the Peace Arch there was a campground called Hiawatha. I stayed there with my grandparents when I was a youngster. I dont know if it is still there. The ocean is just across the road.
