The Provincial Campgrounds – Gordon Bay  For a great family camping vacation, head to Gordon Bay Provincial Park, located on the shores of Lake Cowichan, north of Duncan on Vancouver Island. In the summer the lake is warm and the sandy beach makes for great family swimming.

Set in one of Vancouver Island’s sunniest valleys, this area boasts the highest average annual temperature in Canada.
