Situated on Discovery Passage at the mid point of Vancouver Island's east coast, Campbell River is a natural travel and distribution gateway, providing access by road, sea and air, to northern Vancouver Island and coastal regions.
With a growing trend to eco-travel tours, Campbell River is ideally located to service the Desolation Sound traffic and the popular Queen Charlotte Islands. Campbell River is also on the cruise ship route to Alaska. The Campbell River municipal airport is a mere 20 minutes from the heart of downtown and is a busy hub of activity. Regular daily flights from Vancouver, Abbotsford and Seattle bring business and vacation travelers while charter flights transport supplies and people to a myriad of northern communities and activities.
Campbell River's coastal situation also provides for several commercial and recreational marinas as well as a float plane base. The presence of a deep sea marine terminal enhances the shipment of the area's wealth of natural resources making it a primary port on the Inside Passage. By shipping routes it is 220 nautical miles from Seattle, Washington and only 122 miles to Vancouver's Fraser River depots.
A new four lane divided highway connects Campbell River with major centres to the south. Drivers also have the option of traveling the scenic oceanside highway. Paved highways continue from Campbell River to communities on the northern end of Vancouver Island.
