Porteau Cove Prov. Pk.
Would like feedback on camping at Porteau Cove P.P. in B.C. At minimum we want water and electricity.

What is not mentioned..there is a pretty busy rail line right at the backdoor. As long as everyone likes trains, all is good.
It's a really pretty spot. Looks out over Howe Sound.
Gary Haupt - Great spot but tough to get a reservation. I'm not sure that any site there has water however.
As noted, be prepared for a train coming through in the middle of the night. Of course they may have changed the schedule. Camped there for five nights there last summer. - Go a bit further north to Alice Lake power hook-ups and no trains.
Trevor - In short, spectacular. Trains aren't a big deal really, especially in a hard sided rv. The plus is ocean front sites, gorgeous sunsets, beachcombing, 40 min drive to downtown Vancouver etc.
The downside, as mentioned above, it's near impossible to book. 6 years ago we could book a weekend with a month's notice. Not anymore.
Alice lake is a good second place option (I am going there tonight), but it's a distant second.
