This has been the coolest May I can ever remember on Vancouver Island and I've lived here for almost a half-century. Lots of rain and gloomy days too. Fingers crossed next month doesn't turn into Junuary like it sometimes can. Well, at least all the moisture bodes well for the fire season not being so bad this summer. All the plants and trees look healthy and so green.

French Beach is a nice place, been there a few times. We found most sites are not too good for solar. What site are you in? Looks nice and open, maybe the Parks have had to remove damaged and fallen trees due to the climate stresses in the past few years. Enjoy!

Solar wouldn't be too bad if the sun would come out more. Would at least get a few solid hours a day. Its site 35, behind is a ravine where the Goudie Creek runs by so not as many big trees where it slopes down to the creek. There is also evidence that a few big ones have fallen down in recent years, saw a couple of big ones on the ground with roots sticking up behind site 36. Made for a big opening back there.

Here are a couple Site 36 photos

Looking back at my notes of our visits to French Beach in 2018 we were in your spot #35 definitely more open now. 2019 we were in # 12 had morning and afternoon sun.
Thanks for the update.

Spotted a large cougar lurking in the bush :razz:

In this video, I give you camping information and show you around French Beach Provincial Park. French Beach is located about 60 kilometers (40 miles) west of Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island.
