A fabulous place for the kids camping at Camp Bernard is a family tradition from scouts to guides to Brownies it's been the best

Tons of fun for the kids

Great camp site to explore

Camp Banard is amazing, well maintained and a beautiful camp

Best Scout Camp around.

Sharp corner before you turn off the road.

Beautiful beach (sand and rocks) and day picnic area with fire rings, children's playground, bathrooms and trails. Campground adjacent. Dog friendly. One of my favourite spots just 20 minutes past Sooke!!

We visited family who was staying for a few nights. It was very clean and nice to be so close to the ocean.

Blair, the owner/manager, was very accommodating...even though I needed a place at the last minute. My car broke down up a forest service road, and after finding a space for me at the hostel, she helped me with all the arrangements so that I could get my vehicle back and to my destination in time for school. She is very knowledgeable and knows the area. Hostel is on the lakeside, with access to the lake. There's space for parking, a few private rooms, some dorms converted from cabooses, and an area for tents. It's got an old school feel to the place. Quite affordable (private room was $42 with hostel international membership...$52 without it). For $5 you get all-you-can-eat, homemade pancakes (with fruit in them) and either coffee/hot choco./tea for breakfast. Friendly staff! Thanks!!

The chief is an amazing hike. We do it at least once a year. 3rd peak is the best one to go to. Way less people and the best view of all. The first part is lots of stairs and the second half is rocky terrain so good supportive hiking boots are important.
