Why Willow Point Is One of Campbell River’s Most Desirable Neighbourhoods


Neighbourhood Spotlight: Willow Point

Campbell River, BC


Nestled on the southern edge of Campbell River, on Vancouver Island. Willow Point has quietly evolved from a sleepy fishing village into one of the city’s most desirable places to live. It still holds its small-town heart, but with the added convenience, vibrancy, and opportunity of modern living.


A Brief History of Willow Point


Willow Point began as a fishing and logging outpost, named after the willow trees that once lined the shoreline. It remained rural well into the mid-20th century.


As Campbell River grew in the 1970s and 80s, Willow Point developed into a residential hub. What began as a few modest oceanfront homes expanded into a full-service community with shops, schools, and services—all while preserving its laid-back charm.


You’ll still find ranchers from the early days nestled between newer homes and stories from long-time residents who remember gravel roads and open fields.


Vibrant, Walkable, and Close to Nature

Today, Willow Point offers an unbeatable mix of accessibility, nature, and good vibes.


- The Seawalk runs through the neighbourhood, offering oceanfront walking and cycling with panoramic views.

- Everything from grocery stores and clinics to salons and local cafes are within walking distance.

- Schools, playgrounds, and green spaces make it family-friendly and safe.


It’s a place where daily life can be both calm and convenient.
