Michigan Creek Campsite
About this site
The Michigan Creek Campsite is the first or last campsite you will encounter on the West Coast Trail. First if you begin your hike at the Pachena trailhead (hiking south) and last if you begin in Port Renfrew (hiking north). The 12.1 kilometres (7.5 miles) between the Pachena trailhead and Michigan Creek is fairly easy and flat. At a brisk pace, you should be able to hike this section in a little over 3 hours. You will find a few clearings in the forest above the beach ideal for tents as well as room for dozens of tents along the beach. Though the beach is not terribly nice lower down, up next to the forest it is fairly nice. Soft, clean sand, plenty of driftwood all around and great areas to smooth out for a tent. The campsite has large wooden outhouses solidly built and ornamented over the years with curiosities washed up on the beach.
