Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park, 19 km west of Parksville on Hwy 4, is quite similar in feel to Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. A wonderful quiet pervades here beside the Little Qualicum River and Cameron Lake. Although the two parks are quite close together, the forests that surround them are noticeably different. Here, at Little Qualicum, the soil is much sandier and drier (hence the lovely beach), which means that pine trees thrive better here than fir. As at Englishman River Falls Provincial Park, there are short walking trails to view the Little Qualicum Falls beside the clear green waters of the river. Swimming is excellent - except near the falls. Heed the warning notices.

Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park south of Parksville has acres of campsites to match its 2.1 kms of beaches. If you're lucky enough to be travelling in the off-season, (September to June) you'll have plenty of choice from among the vehicle/tent sites. So good does the living get here that some families spend their entire vacation at Rathtrevor Beach, where the maximum stay permitted is 14 consecutive days. Small wonder, when all the comforts of home, such as hot showers, gas barbeques in covered beachside picnic shelters, and firewood, are included in the camping fee.
