Arbutus Point Campsite / BCMT

The snippets describe two different places named "Arbutus Point Campground" — a private campground on Saturna Island and a Parks Canada backcountry site on Portland Island.

The "BCMT" tag (BC Marine Trail) most likely refers to the Parks Canada site on Portland Island, Gulf Islands National Park Reserve.

Arbutus Point Campground is a backcountry campsite on Portland Island, part of Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, accessible only by boat. It is one of three primitive campgrounds on the island, linked by a 6. 5-kilometre coastal hiking trail.

The site offers six unserviced campsites with pit toilets. Portland Island's shoreline features cliffs, protected coves, and sand beaches, along with shell midden sites that reflect the island's First Nations history.

Backcountry campgrounds are open year-round but are not regularly maintained between October and mid-May.
