Campbell River Harbour Authority

About

Campbell River is the last full-service marina before Desolation Sound — the provisioning, fuel, and repairs stop for every northbound cruiser from the Gulf Islands. Positioned at the northern end of the Strait of Georgia, the town has a complete marine infrastructure built around the needs of cruising and sport fishing boats. Seymour Narrows, the most significant tidal passage on the BC coast (15-knot currents at max flow), lies 15 nm north — most northbound boats stop in Campbell River specifically to calculate their Seymour Narrows transit window and provision for the anchorages beyond.
