The unofficial BC Travel & Tourism Guide
The natural beauty of Mount Arrowsmith's backdrop and the open roads to incredible deep wooded forests bring visitors from up and down Vancouver Island to enjoy the campgrounds, trails, and small village feel. It could be said that the local artists have found the perfect hide-away for inspiration.
The Errington area's big feature is Englishman River Falls Provincial Park with great sites (managed) for camping and RV's, wonderful walking trails, petroglyphs, wildlife, and a mystic blend of cedar, fir, arbutus, and hemlock trees draped with moss.
The surrounding communities provide more parks, beaches, dining, golfing and sailing, which are a benefit to visit in between during your stay.
