About Campbell River
Campbell River sits where Vancouver Island narrows toward its northern half, facing the fast tidal waters of Discovery Passage. It is the largest city north of the Comox Valley and the service centre for a huge stretch of coast, islands and mountains. This page covers the city itself; the wider Campbell River region includes Quadra Island and the communities around the Discovery Islands.
Life around the salmon
Fishing is woven into the city’s identity — its long-standing nickname is the Salmon Capital of the World — while the yearly runs still set the local calendar. Discovery Pier, on the downtown waterfront, lets anyone cast a line over salt water without a boat, and charter guides work the passage from spring to fall. In late summer you can float the Campbell River in a wetsuit and snorkel alongside migrating salmon with a local guide. The city stands on the traditional lands of the Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ First Nation, made up of the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum and Kwiakah First Nations.
Downtown and the waterfront
Shoppers Row and the streets around Spirit Square form the downtown core, home to the Tidemark Theatre, the Campbell River Art Gallery and a good mix of independent restaurants and shops. A seawalk runs along the shoreline south of downtown, with views across to Quadra and the mainland mountains. The Museum at Campbell River, on the Island Highway, covers Indigenous history, logging, fishing and the 1958 blast that removed Ripple Rock from Seymour Narrows.
Into the wild
Elk Falls Provincial Park, on the city’s western edge, has a suspension bridge over the canyon below the falls. Highway 28 continues west into Strathcona Provincial Park, the oldest provincial park in BC, with lakes, rivers and alpine trails. Whale-watching and bear-viewing tours leave from the marinas in season.
Getting here
Campbell River is about two hours north of Nanaimo on Highway 19, and around fifty minutes past Courtenay. The city has its own airport, and BC Ferries runs a ten-minute crossing from downtown to Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island.
