Beacon Hill | Wild Camping

Was set up on a street nearby and a cop came to give us a ticket even though there was no explicit signs because it was “residential only” in that area. He was very nice and didn’t give us a ticket but just told us to move to beacon hill park and nobody will care if we stay there. Was a pretty peaceful night once we drove and got set up here, easy to find parking even at 9pm.

Kinda difficult to find parking, lot's of "no overnight parking" signs up around beacon hill park which I think is a recent addition unfortunately :( We managed to find a spot on "Park st." without any apparent signage prohibiting overnight stays. We stayed on the weekend so we could walk to the clubs but during the week there's a "3.5hrs max" after 8am sign. Pretty quiet spot without alot of traffic but I wouldn't stay for more than a few nights. There were some police that passed by but didn't bother us.

I decided to stay just one block East (?) in the 900s but there were indeed many spots open on both sides of the 800 block with only 1 person sleeping in their van possibly. 1 other camper in their van on 900 block with me In front of the elder housing. Signs all say 2 hour parking from 8a-6p….verrrrry quiet! None of that center of the city, loud and unsettling noise from those young pub crawlers all night!, so I was so Suoer pleased to find this place!

Noisy but nice spot for the night. We never had any issues and other vans here

Stayed for one night. Came in late around 10 pm and had no problems.Ample space available on both sides of the street. Street is quiet at night.
No. 810 seems to be a hotel. So we didn’t park in front to avoid any possible complaints. We parked a bit further down, opposite a little park directly under a tree. We have a Sprinter van. Not 100% stealth, but not THAT obvious.
Paid parking is from 8am to 4:30 pm.

while looking for the described location we found parking places on humboldt street right across from n. 850 (along a small park) with a max 24hrs stay (paying between the hours of 9 am and 4 pm). A couple other people were there as well, and nobody bothered us. Quiet at night.

Free street parking adjacent to large park. There's 2 stretches of free parking with no signage (between Dallas and Beacon). Nice shade from large pine trees, walking distance to ocean and easy walk to downtown Victoria. There's also a great little restaurant corner of Beacon St. More toilets available in the park.
