THE SPRING SALMON PLACE (KWL-UCHUN) CAMPGROUND
The 67-site RV and tent campground is located at the north end of Sooke Potholes Regional Park and adjacent to the Galloping Goose Regional Trail. The campground offers a high quality, self-contained wilderness camping experience. Sooke Potholes Regional Park is a local favourite on Vancouver Island and one of British Columbia’s most popular riverside campgrounds.
The Potholes, found along the Sooke River, are unique geological formations of deep, polished rock pools and carved canyons. These clear green pools are popular swimming areas linked by waterfalls and gorges, and surrounded by the forests of the Sooke Hills.
