We are planning to tent in Tofino arriving July 24 leaving July 27. We will be coming from Nanaimo on the 24th and can be in Tofino mid-morning if need be. I can get a tent site reserved at Long Beach for those days but wondering if it's best to reserve and be sure or take my chances on First come first served at Mackenzie Beach campground?
Which is better? Any advice? We are two adults travelling, first time on the island, and are very used to taking chances and ending up sleeping in the car or a sketchy hotel sometimes when we pushed our luck too far! It's all a part of the journey!
