Me and my boyfriend of four year are trying somewhere cool to go after graduation. After we graduate he has 2 weeks then he is going to the air force academy, so I want it to be cool.
I thought of hawaii but he wants more ideas.
We have a thousand dollars to spend and can get more. Don't want to go over 2000 for 2 people. We live in california.

- Scenic train trip across the northern US and Canadian border

What is Campbell River City like on Vancouver Island?

Is it a nice city to live in ?
Answer
At over 30,000 people (and a significantly larger general area population) Campbell River does rank as a City.
As many communities on the East Coast of Vancouver Island, Campbell River enjoys a warmer/dryer summer than Vancouver. And as a coastal town it enjoys a warmer and less snowier winter than Central BC or the rest of the Canadian Norm. NOT to say it doesn't get snow storms, it does. But you wont find snow on the ground very long.
The community is long and narrow, spread out along the waterfront. So it is easy to live 15 to 30 minutes out in the suburbs and away from the typical downtown problems that are average to that in most BC downtowns.
There is an increasing retirement population as retirees consider options further and further north up the Island. Back in the day it was only Victoria. Then Parksville. So there has been a lot of recent expensive housing built even futher into the subburbs.
If you are an outdoors type and like biking, hiking, fishing, camping, boating, skiing, etc it's a great place. Living is a bit on the quiet side, with obviously less big city excitement like Vancouver. But it is close enough to many places as quick getaways like Victoria, Nanaimo or even Vancouver. However going to Vancouver in the summer generally includes a long ferry wait.
It's difficult to know what aspects of living you are interested in. Feel free to email me with more specific questions about Campbell River.
