Lund is a small town at the north end of "The Sunshine Coast", the
part of the BC coast on the mainland, across from Vancouver Island.
Interestingly, because of the geography, you have to take a ferry to
get to the Sunshine Coast, even though it is part of the mainland.
Park you van in Lund and take the passenger  ferry to sandy Savory
Island for a nice side trip.

For anyone visiting BC, I recommend getting the BC Ferry CirclePac
ticket, that way you can see the Vancouver Area, Vancouver Island,
and the Sunshine coast all with one ticket and not having to
backtrack your route.    (and you save a bit of $$ too).

Note, only available for Ferries in BC so you cannot use this ticket
on the WA to BC Ferries.

And lastly, there are hundreds of camping spots along the CirclePac
route suitable for Vanagons.  Many are parks and private campgrounds.
But I like the private places you can find for free along the many
logging roads in the region.  Just ask any Westy owner you see in BC
where they like to camp, you'll get lots of good ideas...
