IMPORTANT

Tribune Bay Campsite is undergoing extensive updates to the property layout. Changes to campsite dimensions and orientation will directly effect the type and length of RV equipment allowable in some campsites. It is IMPORTANT that you input your ‘equipment’ information for RV length correctly when booking, to ensure that RV’s are permitted into the site on arrival.

Any reserved parties arriving at TBC with RV equipment that deviates from the information submitted in their booking (RV is larger than the reserved site is designated to accomodate) will not be permitted to park, and will need to find alternate parking elsewhere on Hornby Island. Please book accurately.

*There is NO sani-station for RV’s at the campsite or on Hornby Island, please pack water with you, and you must pack your septic back with you.
