Your Coastal Dreamscape.

Stay with us at Kelp Forest Cove, a boat-access-only oceanfront campground overlooking Ucluelet Inlet and Barkley Sound! Our unique cedar barrel cabins and tent pads are available for bookings for groups of up to 12 campers. Immersed in 10 acres of temperate rainforest, your group will be nestled along a shoreline that features a private beach and thriving kelp forest. Your stay with us includes a free 10-minute water taxi service from downtown Ucluelet. Kelp Forest Cove is an ideal retreat for those wishing to get away and experience the coast, while still accessing local amenities in nearby Ucluelet and Tofino. Due to our boat-access-only location, all bookings must be made well in advance as we're not available for drop-in reservations!
