Michigan Creek Camp
Michigan Creek Camp
Michigan Creek Camp is a designated campsite on the West Coast Trail within Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, located at approximately the 12-kilometre mark from the Pachena Bay trailhead near Bamfield.
It serves as either the first or last campsite on the trail depending on the direction of travel.
The camp is large, with tent sites available both in forest clearings above the beach and along the beach itself, where soft sand and abundant driftwood provide good options for setting up. When the tide recedes, a rock shelf is exposed along the lower beach.
The nearby historic Michigan shipwreck boiler is a notable landmark. Whale watching can be rewarding here, as whales are frequently spotted around adjacent Pachena Point.
Hikers should be aware that the area between roughly km 7 and km 16 is active bear habitat, with sow and cub sightings reported regularly in and around camp. Michigan Creek itself can become dangerous to cross during periods of heavy rain.
