    A couple of thoughts following up on Norm's suggestions:
    East Sooke Park: NO CAMPING, but a good spot for a shoreline hike.
    Pacific Rim National Park: Broken Group is a marine park- you gotta paddle or sail there. The West Coast Trail is the other part of the Pacific Rim NP and it is a serious backpacking trip (reservations required).

    You'd have a bit better luck looking at BC Parks like Rathtrevor, or CRD (Capitol Regional District (Victoria)) parks like Goldstream for car-camping possibilities.

    BTW, you'll have more successful searches looking for 'Vancouver Island'...Victoria Island is a bit farther away...
