The sites are very, very small. We parked our tent camper in site #32 and our neighbor's tent was 3 feet from our picnic table. No privacy at all.

We booked for one night and when we pulled in, we were directed to a tiny sliver of a site on the edge of a cement parking lot. Our picnic table was under the neighbouring trailer's slideout and was unusable and the fire pit was inches away from the other neighbours and they appeared to have been drinking beer all... More

My Dad, son and I wanted a tenting getaway for a couple of days. Very scenic, quiet, clean, and friendly. Rates are very reasonable. We met some great people from another country and had a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

I'm one of the people who's been going to Bates Beach for over 35 years now. It's a 3-generation deal for us - my parents, my husband and myself, and our children. We usually end up with a friend or two along as well! Bates Beach has it all - priceless view, very comfortable amenities, and the best people around.... More
