Julius and I visited Sunny Daze today and were very impressed by the friendly owners and the large site.

We got a full tour and took pictures which will be uploaded shortly.

Is 10 acres along the river enough room for us?? :tup:

We reserved the entire campsite so bring your riding buddies!

Notice on the map a small Coffee Shop in Shawnigan Lake Village.

We stopped there for lunch today to check it out. .

If you need yourCaffeine fix .. this is the place!

It's a bakery too and had awesome soup and other 'goodies'..

I'm in....the wife might tag along too just for the camping.

Is there a lake nearby she can swim in? She has a wetsuit...I know It'll still be chilly. What about paved roads? Any good for her to go for a long trip on her pedalbike?

Woohooo.

You can swim in the river and it will be cold. Some of the best swimming holes on southern Vancouver Island are here. Two k back down the road at Koksilah Provincal park.

A popular paved bicycle route is around Shawnigan Lake which will take hours.

And there is the Trans Canada Trail for easy gravel riding with the spactacular Kinsol trestle nearby.

Completed in 1920, its dimensions measure 145 ft high and 614 ft long, making it the largest wooden trestle in the Commonwealth of Nations and one of the highest railway trestles in the world.

We also have a CRF150. Fun bike! It will be great on the B loop but too slow for the C.

There are miles of easy trails and a few pits near the campsite too, if she wants to play around that area.

Yup, the B loop is road and trail. Mostly trails but roads must be ridden to get there.
