Some sites are situated right on the banks of the Campbell River estuary and have front row seats to birding opportunities like Bald Eagles, Blue Herons and more.<\/p>\n<p>Take a stroll out the front entrance of the Campbell River campground and immediately connect with a paved walking path. The path provides some easy access points to a sandy and\/or rocky beach. But best yet, the pathway is unobstructed so there are wide open views of passing sailboats, yachts and fishing boats. Plus it is ideal for jogging, walking, biking, rollerblading and it is wheelchair and baby stroller friendly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Campbell River, BC First Nation Art<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the must do &#8220;Things To Do&#8221; in Campbell River, BC is to make some time and effort to explore the First Nation art on the waterfront in town and treat yourself out by dining in one of the many restaurants or outdoor patios. All waterfront paths lead to local First Nation art and culture, chainsaw art, sandy and rocky beaches and some amazing marine scenery and activity. It almost seems wherever we went there was an art piece on display.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">The Campbell River SeaWalk<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/british-columbia\/vancouver-island\/campbell-river\/parks-trails\/433-rotary-seawalk.html\">SeaWalk<\/a><\/strong> is a 6 km paved pathway following the coastline of the Discovery Passage located south of downtown. Between you and I and the fence post, it is one of the best recreational oceanfront pathways on Vancouver Island, if not the best. The chainsaw carvings, the sandy beaches at low tide, the opportunity for ocean adventures and the marine activity will entertain you for days.&nbsp; The pathway connects to parks and is lined with sightseeing benches. It is wheelchair and stroller friendly most of the way too. Get out and enjoy!<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">eh Canada Launch Cross Canada Road Trip from Thunderbird RV Campground<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All and all, we wish to thank the people at Thunderbird RV Campground for making our stay so enjoyable.
