About Campbell River, BC

Local trips to Courtenay, Cumberland, and Comox (all under an hour away) are common daily runs, while Powell River needs a ferry crossing and Gold River means a mountain drive through Strathcona Park. Campbell River Airport (YBL) is just 12 km from downtown, and EV chargers are easy to find along Highway 19. Don't miss the Discovery Fishing Pier, where you can fish right off the dock, no boat needed, in the self-proclaimed Salmon Capital of the World.
