Make sure to be driving a vehicle with high clearance, and four wheel drive a great asset. Even though this is a Parks BC location, it is very disappointing that the roadway and surface is very dangerous for most vehicles and drivers. There are also several hiking trails to be had. The view is second to none for seeing the lay of the land on Salt Spring Island.

We camped here for three nights in mid August 2020, during COVID-19 times. The campsite is beautiful with so many sites along the shore or at least easy access to the shoreline. There are easy hiking trails nearby in the park and there's even an old farm within walking distance that provides an interesting diversion. The majority of the campsites are first come-first served which was an important consideration with most Provincial Park campgrounds being booked solid during the summer of 2020. The sites are walk-in, meaning you'll have to carry your gear to your spot. For us that was a 750 metre trek. They provide a few wheelbarrows to help with transporting but if you have your own wagon that would be very helpful as the whelbarrows are always in demand. There is running water and pit toilets. No other facilities. There are some nearby freshwater lakes for swimming opportunities. Please be responsible campers and keep your garbage and noise levels to a minimum. This place is a paradise and I think we all want to keep it that way. Our stay was extremely enjoyable.

We have been to Ganges a number of times but this was our first opportunity to experience the Saturday market. As you would expect at any market there were many artists with work on display. What’s different here is the true craftsmanship and talent behind the works being shown. More important for us (we arrive by boat) is the great selection of locally produced fresh vegetables, bakery goods, and meats - including Saltspring Island lamb. Allow at least and hour and maybe more. Enjoy the work of talented kids who are part of the market. Leave some time for a great chowder at the Oyster. Ganges is an enjoyable destination anytime if the year or week but try to be there on a summer Saturday morning and really see the best of what’s in offer!

Go! Might want poles if its wet. Wonderful place for a picnic with the fairies. Unlike driving to the top of Maxwell this one is much easier on your car. The air smells great at the top.
