"Diamond in the rough" best sums it up. Nice transients, many miserable full-timers who ignore the rules, unsafely. Very quiet, except for the 4:00 am risers going to work, slamming doors and roaring out. Although very close to a pulp and paper mill, there is absolutely no smell ! No recreation facilities except a kids' swing and tree fort, unsafe ocean swimming, no beach, and a low-tide accessible boat dock. Be prepared to be moved from site-to-site if you are not one of the long-time returning families - they come first, and rest of transients are slotted into the short vacancies. Rate reflects longer-term stay. Note on the laundry - often one or more broken machines, always dirty, poorly maintained. Water pressure at sites varies between 20 - 32 psi. Water is drinkable, chlorinated, fluoridated, but clean and safe. Town of Crofton is quite small, has two small grocery stores, one selling booze, there is a pub, book store, video rental and knickknack shops. It's only 20 minutes to a larger town (Duncan), or an hour to Victoria or Nanaimo. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
