Campbell River

The gateway to
the North Island.
And we're not subtle
about it.



Campbell River, B.C.

CampbellRiver.life is the local guide to living in Campbell River — the neighbourhoods, beaches, trails, restaurants, and things to do, from the waterfront to the woods and everywhere in between.

Campbell River is the salmon capital of the world, a working waterfront, an old-growth forest, and a ferry ride to Quadra Island — all in the same town... and then some! It's the gateway to the North Island, and the people who really fall for it keep going. Out to Quadra and Cortes. Up the highway into the North Island. Back down the coast to the Comox Valley. It is often a stop on the way to somewhere else. Until it isn’t, and becomes home.

This guide covers the neighbourhoods worth knowing, the beaches worth the walk, the restaurants worth the reservation, and the parts of Campbell River the tourists often don't find. Whether you're planning a weekend, considering a move, figuring out which corner of town actually fits your life, or just trying to find something worth doing on a Thursday night — you're in the right place.
