How far is the sunshine coast from Victoria? Thinking of a camping /
fishing trip to Vancouver Island this coming summer. Cambell river and
Tovino / Uculet areas.

Hi Bill:
You could not have picked any more beautiful area to take your
camping/fishing trip than Vancouver Island.

How many days do you have for your trip? There are so many things to see
and do on the Island that a trip up to the Sunshine Coast may be just too
far.

The Pacific Rim area of Vancouver Island is just spectacular! Tofino and
Ucluelet are lovely.

Unless you have lots of time, like several weeks, then my advice is to
stay
on the Island.

Check this out. www.vancouverisland.com/towns.html this will give you
the milages and some explainations of "whats there"

I have been to Vancouver Island before, but not for a lot of years. We took
the ferry boat to Prince Rupert in about 1971. Have only seen the mainland
side of the island. Taking the Truck with camper and I think the Jetcraft
boat. Probably 4-5 weeks. Semi-retired is nice. Take 4-5 days each way to
Canada. From San Francisco area. Visit friends in Portland and Salem, OR
as well as wife's relative in Seattle.
