We were there a number of times in the 70's. I'm sure there have been many changes since then. Three conditions which have not likely changed and to be aware of are:
1. There is a lot of junk on the bottom of some of the little harbors. We saved an anchor by using our sailboat winches three times bringing up a tree trunk, telephone pole and a steel cable. A float line secured to the anchor's crown might be a better way.
2. The holding bottom in Squirrel Cove is poor. Don't anchor close to shore or other boats. It is similar to the holding bottoms in the north bights of Matia and Jones Islands in the San Juans.
3. Sailboats should check the currents before visiting Campbell River (the city of).
For all that it is well worth it.
