Starting March 1, 2010, RVers will have a brand new spot to get close to nature on Southern Vancouver Island, with the opening of Pedder Bay RV Resort & Marina, just 40 minutes from downtown Victoria.

Nestled in a tranquil bay surrounded by lush forest and set against the backdrop of the Cascade Mountain Range, Pedder Bay features 80 full-service RV sites (some with private decks and ocean views), and pull-through sites with 30 & 50 amp power, cable, wi-fi Internet access, laundry facilities, and private showers.

Activities abound in this outdoor playground—from hiking and biking to kayaking, fishing and more. Nearby Matheson Lake Regional Park is just steps away, Race Rocks Marine Reserve lies just beyond the bay, and the Galloping Goose Trail runs right past the resort’s backyard with bike rentals conveniently located on-site.

Looking for a great way to cool off and catch dinner at the same time? Try one of Pedder Bay’s rental kayaks, or venture out in a 16-foot power boat to seek out that prized salmon for your sunset barbeque—the sheltered Pedder Bay Marina is just 10 minutes from some of the finest fishing grounds in Southern Vancouver Island.

Pedder Bay RV Resort & Marina is family and pet-friendly, so load up the car, bring an adventurous spirit, and get ready to enjoy nature’s playground in your own backyard.
