Located near Port McNeill, British Columbia, along the beautiful shores of Johnstone Strait, Alder Bay offers spectacular coastal scenery, abundant marine wildlife, and a peaceful natural setting. Guests can enjoy oceanfront camping, RV sites, marina services, and comfortable vacation accommodations.

But Alder Bay is more than just a campground and marina.

It is also a welcoming community where families return year after year, old friends reconnect, and new friendships are made. Whether watching the sunset by the water, heading out for a day of fishing, exploring nearby islands, or simply enjoying a peaceful getaway with family and friends, Alder Bay has been the setting for countless cherished memories.

We value the reputation, community spirit, and connection to nature that have made Alder Bay special over the years. Our commitment is to preserve these qualities while continually enhancing the services and experiences we offer.
