I'm going to give you directions to a spot that will drive the renfrew locals nuts.
There are 2 lakes up in the mountains above port renfrew and avatar grove that are called "twin lakes". Its a great swim spot, with a dock and canoe that's left there all year round. The views on the way to twin lakes is also quite stunning.
From sooke you will head to port renfrew and you will want to take the gordon river main. Once you're about 20 mins up Gordon river main you will make a left on a steep road called grierson main. There are blue painted rocks on the ground at every split in the road, you just simply stay right for 3 painted rocks, then a left will take you down to the lake.
Theres also a cabin up in that area, that you can look for after you go to the lake.
I'm thinking of going to ash lake or elsie lake on monday for some camping. Does anyone know if I'm allowed up there during the week? The mosaic site says ash main is only open 8-8 on weekends but it was open on tuesday during the day when I drove by.
Any input would be appreciated, or if anyone has any other recommendations for can6p spots in that area.

I already know about scout beach and lowry lake.
Thanks
The road is still quite rough, but a full sized pickup truck will make it passed the washout. I had no problems with my ford ranger on 31's.
I went 2 weeks ago.
Beware of active logging on bugaboo, walbran main, McClure main, caycuse, flora lake main, and more.
Watch for logging vehicles around corners, and be expected to wait in some spots.
