Summer Vacation to Vancouver

We are planning a camping trip up to Vancouver (where we will stay with friends) and Vancouver Island. Looking for recommendations on activities to do on the drive up with 7 year old and teenagers (driving up 101, stoping in Portland for a day or two on the way up and Seattle on the way back). And places to camp on Vancouver Island. Thx!

Just a quick recommendation: While in Portland, take a ride in what our kids affectionately call "the egg"!  http://www.gobytram.com/  It's fun even if you are just passing through Portland, as it goes right over I5.  It's cheap, memorable, and offers fabulous views of the city.

I haven't been but I heard Tofino on the island is amazing!

We currently live in Vancouver with our two kids (5.5 and 1.5) and would be happy to recommend any number of family-friendly summer activities. We’re moving to the east bay this coming summer, hence my being on BPN. As this is my first post/reply on BPN,  I’m assuming there is a way for you to PM me.  Feel free to so that if you’d like and I can help with any number of summer recommendations. It is a magical place in the summertime and we plan to return to visit every summer if we can!
