Hi. My name is Christian and welcome to my beautiful Forest Sanctuary on the slopes of Mt. Elphinstone in Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast. My property is a magical, private nature retreat created in the spirit of love and reverence for the land on which it is built. It is a sanctuary to nurture the body, mind and spirit. A place to come back to One's Self.
I have taken a piece of forest and transformed it into a Premium camping experience with pastures, terraces, pathways, a pond and island, level campsites with grass and sand and a communal outdoor pavilion lounge with fully stocked kitchen at your disposal. I have solar showers too. This is a magnificent place to bring the kids, a wonderful place to hang with friends and family, a peaceful place for lovers and a great place to come on your own to remember how awesome and talented you really are.
My fully stocked pavilion, kitchen and lounge has all the cookware, dishware and utensils needed to prepare your meal. There is also a BBQ and Coleman stove with propane provided. Drinking water is provided. Firewood is free when campfires are permitted. For bathing I have a solar shower and a little aquifer-fed pond for clean, cold water dips. If you want something a little fancier I have a great little off-grid camping cabin which rents for $135/night. You can ask me about it.
My campsite is located in Roberts Creek, British Columbia. Roberts Creek is a peaceful, eclectic, rural community seated between Gibsons and Sechelt, and possesses a stunning blend of beaches, forest, and some of the friendliest people you will come across. A relaxing atmosphere awaits you here, where both your artistic and outdoor adventure self is sure to feel at home.
Please note I am 2 kms up a well maintained private gravel road.

Camping near Vancouver guide
Overview
Bounded by rugged mountains to the north and hemmed in by the ocean to the south and west, Vancouver is a great homebase for heading out into Canada’s wilds, whether you’re looking for a tent camping experience or something more sophisticated. The closest provincial parks are north (Garibaldi included) and east of the city (Golden Ears is a standout), while Vancouver Island is a ferry ride away to the west.
Sea-to-Sky Highway
A number of outdoor regions and provincial parks can be found along the Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99) north of Vancouver. Stop in Cypress Provincial Park, set closest to the city on the North Shore, or head further north up to waterfront camping areas at Porteau Cove; the mountain bike mecca of Alice Lake near Squamish; or beyond Whistler up to Pemberton and the scenic Duffey Lake Road.
Fraser Valley
Mountain scenery and lakeside recreation await at the several British Columbia provincial and regional parks located on the north side of the Fraser River (Highway 7). Try Golden Ears Provincial Park, a lesser-known spot like Rolley Lake Regional Park, or one of the private RV campgrounds that dot the valley. Consider the area’s lesser-known British Columbia Forest Service tent sites for a first-come, first-served option (all-wheel or four-wheel drive recommended).
Washington State
Depending on your patience for border lineups, it’s possible to do day trips into Vancouver while staying at a private or public campground or RV park in Whatcom County in the U.S., an area known for hiking trails and Bellingham, a West Coast town just 32 kilometres south of the border and in the shadow of Mount Baker.
When to go
It’s rough to secure a campsite at a B.C. provincial park in summer without a reservation, but this is an ideal time to visit. Spring is a fantastic time to camp, especially in the Fraser Valley, while the Whistler region is a good option for crisp autumn nights.
Know before you go
- It can’t be emphasized enough: You’re really going to need an advance campground reservation to camp at any provincial park on a July or August weekend. Walk-ins are typically out of luck.
- Camping gear can be rented at one of three MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op) stores in Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Langley.
- Bears, racoons, squirrels, mice, and other vermin love campgrounds, too. If you’re planning a trip into the city, be prepared to take all of your food with you or store it inside a secure locker or locking bin.
- All provincial parks near Vancouver are equipped with hookups for RV campers.
Nearby attractions
- Immerse yourself in history and nature when camping near the Othello Tunnels. Known for its breathtaking trails through old railway tunnels and surrounding wilderness, the Othello Tunnels camping experience combines adventure, relaxation, and a touch of mystery for a truly unforgettable outdoor getaway.
- Experience the tranquil beauty of the Canadian wilderness when camping near Cheakamus Lake. Surrounded by old-growth forests and snow-capped peaks, the Cheakamus Lake camping experience offers serene hiking trails and opportunities for quiet reflection by the turquoise water's edge.
- For a camping trip filled with scenic beauty and recreational activities, choose Buntzen Lake Recreation Area. With its serene lake, beautiful trails, and abundant wildlife, the Buntzen Lake camping journey promises a harmonious blend of relaxation and exploration.
