The thing about Vancouver is that it has some of the highest land & housing prices in the world now, thanks in large part to money laundering (Gov't put a lid on it a couple of years ago tho.). Any waterfront property commands the highest prices and you just won't find things like lowly RV parks taking up waterfront property, on the ocean or riverfront.
I spent every single summer as a kid in my parents ocean front cabin on the Sunshine Coast (3 years of my life in total). What an amazing experience and also a privilege that few have. Nothing much there back then but now it's a bedroom community for Vancouver complete with subdivisions. Sad! Did a little googling and I don't see any waterfront RV parks there, but some should be close to the water at least. Ferry is only about 20 min. but may cost a bit.
Forgot about Capilano RV park. I used to work nearby at one time. It's at the entrance to Burrard Inlet which is mostly a shipping port. Lots of freighters, cruise ships, etc. coming and going there through the narrows under the bridge. Nearby Stanley Park is an amazing place. The RV park is on native land which is one of the reasons it's still there, otherwise would have been taken over by commercial or residential long ago. It's advertised as the only waterfront RV park in the greater Vancouver area.
I lived on Vancouver Island for 20 years but was way before we got into RV-ing. Many RV parks over there but not sure how many are waterfront, if any. The Island is a beautiful place to visit. Ferry is about 1.5 hours but with an RV, the fare is very expensive, which is why we've never taken our TT there.
If you do happen to find a piece of oceanfront heaven for an RV, please let me know!! If there was such a place, would have been there by now.
There are even few true oceanfront RV parks/CGs on the WA, OR coast. Many are next to the ocean, but not actually on the water and you can't see the water. And any will be booked waaaay in advance.
Wherever you end up, please post. ๐
