I was there last summer and paddled in God’s pocket. we parked at the marina in Port Hardy and launched there as well. It was great as we could launch at higher low tide without a problem. And the car was secure for the week. We had looked at carrot Park, but the Carrie was huge and we couldn’t find parking. It was well worth the cost of the parking.

FYI our last night we stayed on the bcmt site onMasterman Islands. We camped on the upper part of the beach site. It happened to be a king tide, and we did not get flooded! But we did have our chance as far up as we could get them and got up in the middle of the night to check! I thought I’d save you that in case you camp there.
