The Great Outdoors

Although there are many great places to spend time outdoors near Chemainus, one of the most convenient is probably Waterwheel Park. On the southeastern edge of town, not far from the ferry terminal, it’s a beautifully shady park centered on several wooden carvings and a giant canoe. In the summer months, it plays host to live music events, but most often it’s simply a quiet place to retreat.

RV Parks

Chemainus is pretty far from any large urban areas, so almost anywhere nearby should be a fairly peaceful camping experience. If you’re trying to avoid the crowds and enjoy nature, the Chemainus River Campground could be a good option. While their sites do have full hookups and there are shower facilities, it’s the beautiful location along the Chemainus River that really makes this a place to consider parking your camper rental near Chemainus.

Exploring the City

To learn a little bit about the history and culture of the area, your first stop should be at the Chemainus Valley Museum. It’s not particularly big, but it does have some big exhibits, like the loudest steam engine in Canada and an old time punch clock from the 1920s. The displays are a mish-mash of artifacts, and they’ve got some amazing volunteers who can show you around and put everything in perspective.
