We’ve recently updated the Port Renfrew Big Trees Map to make it easier to find and explore some of the most remarkable trees, groves, and parks in the region — along with key local businesses.

The latest version includes revised driving directions to the San Juan Spruce and Red Creek Fir (the road has changed!), the location and trail at Eden Grove, and detailed routes to iconic giants like Big Lonely Doug, Harris Creek Spruce, and more.

Current and forecast conditions have shifted since the Coastal Fire Centre initially implemented the Category 1 campfire prohibition earlier this May, resulting in cooler temperatures, improved humidity values and an overall reduction in wildfire hazard throughout the region. Because of this, Category 1 campfires will be once again permitted under the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction as of Friday, May 15, 2026, at 12 p.m. (noon).

Although the fire risk has decreased for the region, human-caused wildfires are still possible and entirely preventable. Please take the time to learn how to enjoy a campfire safely: gov.bc.ca/saferburning

Category 2 and 3 open burning and select activities and equipment remain prohibited throughout the Coastal Fire Centre. For full details, please refer to the following information bulletin: https://blog.gov.bc.ca/bcwildfire/campfires-permitted-across-coastal-fire-centre-due-to-decreased-fire-risk/

A little bird told us yesterday but we needed to wait until BC Parks officially announced it. The Juan de Fuca Marine Trail will reopen this summer and the opening date to be announced in May. The trailhead is just down the road from us at China beach.
