  • Our Vancouver Island road trip is coming to an end and our last stop is in Parksville. The Parksville area is full of things to do and we want to show you some of the highlights. No Vancouver Island road trip should be complete without a trip to see the Goats on the Roof at Coombs, a walk among the giant trees at Cathedral Grove, or a dip in the warm ocean waters at Parksville Community Park. We couldn’t resist checking out a local dairy farm and getting some farm fresh milk, too.
    While exploring the Parksville area we stayed at the Little Qualicum Falls provincial park campground. The sites at this park were fantastic, with one exception - no Starlink connection. We understand that most people don’t go camping and expect to be able to have internet, but for us it is important because we work from the road while we travel. However, this minor inconvenience would not prevent us from staying here again. We loved the park so much. A full video review of this park is also available on our channel.
    Our last night on the island was spent at a boondockers welcome site in Nanaimo and we learned that our hosts also have a UA-cam channel! You can check out their videos at Vanlife Midlife Rocks: / vanlifemidliferocks

    Coombs used to be so much more pleasant before it was discovered. I avoid it now. Love that beach. Great place for watching eagles 🦅 early in the morning.

      The Coombs market and area was definitely very busy and much more developed than last time we were there. So much growth there.

    Thanks for sharing your trip around our home away from home! We like seeing the tourists come in to help the local economy and will check out Little Qualicum Cheese Works!

      The cheese works was really cool and the milk very tasty.

    We love your Channel, keep up the great work. Maybe we will see you on the road sometime. What campground did you stay in when you were taste testing the cookies and milk.? We are travelling to the island in October and was thinking that it may be Rathtrevor. …
