   If you're from around Campbell River you already know this spot, But for people traveling or the odd person who just doesn't about Stories Beach - come and relax with the view. A camp fire and hotdogs are always good ways to put a smile on anyone's face and when it comes with a great sand beach and a view like this you feel like staying for a while for sure.

 Bring the kids and stay for the day... or the week. If you find yourself in the Campbell River area looking for a good camping spot this one is perfect for the whole crew. Located 25 mins south of Campbell River on Hwy 19a, Miracle Beach is easy to find and has everything you'll need for a camping stay(no power) or even just the perfect day at the beach. The park is forested and on the beach, sandcastle building, sunning, swimming, exploring tide pools, are just a few of the great options at this beautiful park. We found this great little nature hut which had a guided tour was and was great for the kids. We finished our day with a sunset walk along the beach trail and would recommend this spot to any family wanting a getaway from the world.

 With the weather as hot as it is people are always looking for the perfect place to kick back for the day. The Quinsam pothole are now and have been a great choice for escape from the heat of the day. Located about 15 mins from Willis Rd turnoff in Campbell River this is a spot you are going to need someone to show you as opposed to stumbling across as it is quite a hidden jem. The water was a perfect temperature and there is a great water fall (only 3 feet) that you can slide off in to a pool or even go under the falls if you can find your way under them. If you're in the local area it is really worth while trying to track this beauty down but I warn you that it may be quite a hunt.
