Next time you are up, there are some great places to camp for cheap. Naka Creek camp site is right on the ocean almost in sight of Robson's Bight. Junction Pool is a little ways back toward the highway from there along the Eve River. Bonanza Lake up near Telegraph Cove (or Ida Lake for that matter) - forestry camp sites, no fees, just keep em clean for the next guy. There's a great tour to see the grizzlies that leaves from Telegraph Cove, but costs $$. I've seen more Elk in farmers fields in Sayward than anywhere else in the world. I was surprised the wife and I didn't see any earlier this Summer when I took her kayaking up Naka Creek way. I've also seem Elk off the highway around Campbell River and up in the Beaufort Range around Buckley Bay, but those are generally harder to find.
