Vancouver Island Camping is a website focused on providing quality articles, tips and walk thru videos of local campgrounds. One of the ways we improve our website is by allowing comments for our users. In order to assure quality, we must have a policy to fight against COMMENT SPAM.
While we appreciate each comment, if your comment does not follow our comment policy, it will be removed. Continuous abuse of the policy will result in permanent ban of the IP address, domain and the email used.
