Englishman River Falls 2022

After we left Miracle Beach Provincial Park, we camped for a week at Englishman River Falls Provincial Park, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada during our recent vacation. The campground has lovely scenery, friendly camp staff and neat campsites. The camp is children and dog friendly. Nearby attractions include Englishman River Falls, Coombs, Goats on the roof, Cathedral Grove, Little Qualicum falls, etc.

   

We camped there before in 2019 and in 2015. We also visited the falls in 2008.

 

  “Situated along the pristine Englishman River north of Nanaimo, Englishman River Falls Provincial Park features two stunning waterfalls cascading along the descending riverbed into a deep canyon.” “This picturesque destination, set amid a lush old-growth and second-growth forest of Douglas fir, cedar, hemlock and maple, is an ideal location from which to explore and appreciate the incredible diversity of south-central Vancouver Island, including nearby Cathedral Grove, the Pacific Rim, and the sandy shores of Parksville and Qualicum.” – Englishman River Falls Provincial Park

Erik loved the river.

 

  “Established in 1940, the 240-acre park was named as the result of an old legend, wherein First Nations people found the skeleton of a white man along the river near the waterfall, thereby giving the falls its name. The area was declared parkland to protect the old growth Douglas Fir forest and the area around the Englishman River and the falls. ” – Vancouver Island beyond Victoria.

There was a fire ban due to the drought, so we used our portable propane fire pit in the evenings.

 

 We saw many stars at night and even a bank of Starlink satellites launched by Elon Musk's SpaceX company.
