BC is such a beautiful province. I’m amazed at how many different and beautiful places there are and even though I’ve lived here all my life I have yet to see many of them! I saw the Okanagan and the Kootenays last year for the first time and was amazed at how different the terrain was. I felt like I was in a different country! Some of the scenery was what you would see in the movies. Stunning!!!
Nice spot!
Would love a nice stay at the painters lodge, what a great summer get away it would make. Here is to hoping, crossing fingers for the draw

I used to go to Campbell River when I was a kid to visit my great-grandparents… it will always be a very special place to me & I would love to go back. I can remember my Dad taking me fishing there when I was only 8 or 9 and it was the first time I ever salt-water fished… pretty exciting for a boy from Edmonton~!
Fantastic picture. Hate to admit it, but I was raised in BC and have never been to Campbell River!
It is an item on my bucket list. Would be so stoked if I could finally go.
That place looks beautiful.
Fish on!

Dang, I keep thinking inland for vacations. When we got married, we went to the Okanagan and Rossland for our honeymoon (Mtn biking) but heading up the island? Completely forgot about it.

I would love this opportunity to see more of BC!
