Lots of people drive this route in RVs every year – it is safe to do so and is allowed. However, it depends on your level of comfort with driving a long vehicle. The road is narrow, twisty, and bumpy. There are also no passing lanes so you will likely need to pull over to let traffic pass periodically.

You could certainly drive the entire loop in a day, but it would be rushed. My advice would be to spend one of your days in Sooke driving to Port Renfrew and back and stopping at some of the places mentioned in this post. The drive to Sooke from Victoria is mostly on highways through Victoria’s outer suburbs so there isn’t really anywhere in particular I would recommend you stop before you get to Sooke. Have a great trip.

The only info I have is on the Sites and Trails BC website here: http://www.sitesandtrailsbc.ca/search/search-result.aspx?site=REC202159&type=Site You could try getting in touch with the Port Renfrew visitor info centre. They might know more.

Sooke Harbour House is lovely, but it is currently closed for renovations and won’t reopen until the fall or early winter. Another option (although not as fancy) would be the Old Firehouse in Duncan. Otherwise you are best off going to Victoria for higher end dinners.

@Taryn Eyton, Thank you for your recommendations! I will be spending weekend at the Wild Renfrew towards the end of the month. Your guide has been super helpful in planning a trip around the Paciic Marine Circle. Best guide on the internet I’ve found! With the House of Boateng being shut down for dinner… Any other places you’d reccommend for nicer dining experiences?

The coast is fairly exposed in most places along the route. The best places to SUP would be Sooke Harbour and Lake Cowichan.
