Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
As you enter into our little oasis, you'll see why we want to share the space. It is a great environment to get away from the city or pass through on your road trip. The driveway enters down to our creek-side camping where a hammock under a tree awaits a quiet reader or a bird watcher. It's just a 30 minute drive to the beach, a short walk to the neighborhood park- equipped with a playground, or a five minute drive to a local ecological reserve containing multiple trails. If you'd like to hang out on the property, we offer a table and chairs with each campsite to lounge in while enjoying the fresh air and nature. In addition, we have a propane-powered fire pit, an outdoor kitchen with full amenities, including, hot water, a two burner stove, a toaster oven and a BBQ area. The bathroom now includes a flush toilet, sink and shower. Fun Fact: Harbison Canyon was named after John Stewart Harbison - aka the King of the Bee Keepers. He arrived with over one hundred colonies of bees in 1874 and within 7 years he became the worlds largest honey producer. Today there are just a few bees in the area.

Loved the site and the hospitality! Very scenic, affordable and the common areas (kitchen/bathroom/shower) were perfect.

This is the perfect place if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay. Laura is an amazing host, always smiling and willing to answer your questions. The place is so beautiful! She did everything by herself and the work is absolutely beautiful. A nice shower is built at the moment, which make the stay even better. The outside kitchen is really the best part. :) we recommand this place 100%

Great place to stop if you’re looking for a short weekend with nearby adventure! We prefer to tent camp when traveling and this was a beautiful spot to lay our heads for the night and fall fast asleep with the stream right next to us. Thank you Laura for creating a great space for others !

My partner, sister and I tent camped right by the creek and it was a lovely nature getaway! We heard frogs, and owls and fell asleep to the sound of the babbling brook! Laura was a wonderful welcoming host and gave very clear instructions. The outdoor kitchen and propane campfire were other wonderful highlights! We hope to visit again soon!
