Discover a serene mountain retreat on an expansive lakeside acreage, stretching from the idyllic banks of Anderson Lake to the majestic Cayoosh mountain range. Marvel at breathtaking wilderness views where rugged mountains overlook the clear waters of Anderson Lake.
Escape to one of our cozy glamping yurts, 'The Sparrow's Nest,' or the 'Fox's Den' which both blend rustic charm with modern luxury. Ideal for couples or solo travelers, it offers the perfect sanctuary to unwind and reconnect with nature. While we are off-grid (no WiFi, solar-powered), there is cell phone service at the property.
Perched on an elevated forest bench, our glamping yurts both feature a private kitchenette, propane stove, wood-fire stove with ample firewood, mountain spring-fed water, solar-powered amenities, and an eco-friendly composting toilet.
This yurt, set 60 meters apart from our one other yurt, shares an outdoor shower with hot pressurized water. A scenic 5-minute hike leads to your semi-private beach—ideal for sunbathing, and swimming.
Indulge in an exclusive lakeside private cedar sauna experience for $99. Enjoy a three-hour private session with sauna and beach all to yourself. We provide the ambiance, wood, and ensure unparalleled relaxation.
If you would like to enjoy the outdoor propane fire you can use our outdoor propane fire pit for an additional $35 to cover the cost of the propane bottle.
We allow pets at the site for $50 per booking, maximum 2 pets. If you would like to bring a pet, please add the pet fee which is listed as an extra during the booking process.
Secure parking for one vehicle completes your tranquil escape. Book a yurt today for a harmonious blend of nature, comfort, and seclusion.
Although some of the photos on this listing posted by guests have kayaks and paddleboards, you will need to bring your own - they are not provided due to liability and insurance issues - we're sorry about that.
Detailed instructions on how to access the place will be provided after booking - we are located remotely 4 hours from Vancouver and 2 hours from Whistler.
We look forward to hosting you!

Yurt is paused for rentals as we await a new roof!
Only the Cabin available for now.
Welcome to 28 acres of forests, mountains, creeks, a river and all that comes with it!
We live in a little off-grid cabin deep in the Yalakom Valley in a small community of rustic-living and friendly folks. Please note that this property is located 40 km outside of Lillooet. Part of the road is a dirt road and a bit bumpy, best for cars that don't mind roughing it a little bit. You also lose service 5 minutes outside of Lillooet. The property is surrounded by private lots. You can explore ours down to the river or you can drive to other locations like the Horsehoe (a great swim spot), Carpenter Lake (great for swimming, too), Lac La Mere (good for fishing), Carol Lake, and much more.
This is a somewhat rustic and rugged spot- if you are looking for fancy glamping this is not the space for you! Vancouverites, you've been warned!

10 acres of untouched beauty! Extremely private with 100’s of acres of crown land on one side & a neighbour with 10 acres on the other. The lake is Caribbean blueish green & clear as glass. There are miles of trails to hike, 4x4, wild forage, or hunt in season. There are a couple other lakes nearby as well as the Fraser River & the Big Bar Ferry. Highly recommend!! One of our favourites is the Jesmond Fire Lookout. It requires a 4x4 vehicle or physical ability to complete a couple hour hike! We are a bit biased but our place is a very special one of a kind spot!

Situated on a mountain plateau overlooking beautiful Anderson Lake there is a rugged beauty to this land. Through a quirk of geography, our land is remote and wild while only being a 3 hour drive from Vancouver. Located at the beginning of the Highline Road popular with adventure seekers, this property is about a 10 minute drive from the Anderson Lake boat launch in D'Arcy. The lake is a fisherman's dream known for its rainbow and bull trout. Paddle boarding, hiking, biking, and motorized sports are among the activities enjoyed in the area.
Upon ascending the initial gravel road climb, you will be greeted with fantastic mountain and lake views. Pines, cedars, firs, birch, and aspen make up the forest cover while junipers and wildflowers find their home in the clearings between the trees. Hot during the day and cool at night, the views truly glow just before sunset and then again as the moon rises to cast pale shadows on a land free from light pollution.
The property is still under development, so please excuse the mess as we build out our off-grid spa and amenity spaces. Currently we only offer a compost toilet, but stay tuned for a further refined experience that will include access to water, showers, 6 person hammocks, and trails. At this time we do not allow fires due to local fire ban, but CSA approved propane fire pits will soon be available for rent.

Wild Farm with Mountain Views
Camp with Bambi!
Wildlife viewings including bears, moose, deer, geese, ducks, hummingbirds, warblers, finches and wolves. Big open 360 degree mountain views. Bright stars and open field where you can tuck into the treed edge next to the deers! The moonlight can be as bright as daytime and the stars are quite a sight. The RV sites are for RV's that are self-sufficient without the need for electricity nor water in or out (no dumping and there is no running water nor an outhouse at RV sites).
RV's will be parking on grass and the site REQUIRES LEVELLING. We can accommodate vehicles up to 39ft in length.
Have your choice of bringing your own tent or using ours!
New Glamping Dome Tents with Queen Sized Beds, table and chairs and hammocks including a covered counter for cooking .
Unplug and Unwind to the sound of breeze through the trees and romantically flowing water from the nearby creek. There is no cell service or electromagnetic disruption here which makes for a beautiful peaceful mountain retreat. Bring your telescope for the opportunity to see clear, off the grid skies and epic star viewing for the astronomer in you.
The bookings are quite private and there is a lot of space between sites. If one of the Dome tents is booked, I block off the other so you'll be the only ones on the whole gravel pad area. There are trees and visual space blocking anyones' view between sites
Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park is walkable from our farm and there you can hike, fish, swim, paddle, and more! The road is a gravel road in winter would require 4x4. Otherwise we've seen many EVO cars (Prius Hybrid or fully electric Kia Niro) and even fancy Teslas and BMW sedan's on this road.

A perfect site for camping! Thanks to Carmen for her welcome, and to her friendly dog Molly for her company at dinner and who garded at night. The chalet for the toilets is very nice and clean. A hot shower would have been nice but we were warned before our arrival that it didn't work.
We recommend!

We were travelling through Pemberton on our way to Whistler on a busy weekend and all the area campgrounds were full. We looked on Hipcamp and found Gabe’s place was 5 minutes away. Gabe was quick to reply to our message and the directions to get there were easy to follow. We spent a quiet peaceful night. Unfortunately the wild fire smoke in the area blocked the beautiful views we saw in the pictures. We were thankful to have the spot.

Weekend Trip to Deep Mountain Sea Cabin
Great spot in a quiet, peaceful location with beautiful views to wake up to. We planned to do more but ended up mostly chilling around the cabin (highly recommend the outside daybed!) and walking my dog to the river. Ren was really accommodating for my reactive dog, left the lights on for us as we were arriving late and provided some yummy home grown vegetables. Would love to stay again!

We loved the camping there! The two hosts were super nice people and we ended up chatting quite a while while they showed us around. The campsite is very nice too: the pit toilet has a water bucket to wash hands and soap. Each campsite has a picknick table. There was only one other guest that night, so it was relatively privat. Would absolutely recommend.

Carmen’s campsite, HayLmore, is amazing.
There is a washroom with a flush toilet and sink which is kept clean. Behind the bathroom building is a double sink, for dishes, dish soap included. Can and plastic recycling as well as a place for garbage- please keep garbage to a minimum as it’s a regular size garbage bin and there are other campers.
We stayed a ponderosa which to me is the most private spot, and I’ll definitely stay there again.
We had a 20’ pick-up with slider camper.
Molly (the dog) keeps to herself these days as she’s getting a little older, but she still loves pets.
Carmen sells her eggs, tomatoes (or veggies of the season too).
Thank you Carmen and Molly☺️🙂😎

I love the place , my family enjoyed our stay for 2 nights. The site was very spacious for a big family.
Ms. Katie was very accommodating and response quickly to my inquiries.
The only thing disappoints us was our fellow campers near the lake, they were not respectful about quiet time they were shouting and singing loud with their loud music until 2am for 2nights. They even had bonfire even if there is a FIRE-BAN during the 2nd night.
But over all we enjoyed our stay and will come back again.

It is totally worth the drive and such a cool way to experience the area! Absolutely book the sauna, and bring your paddle boards if you can! Can’t wait to come back next year! :)

The best camping in Seton Portage Historic Provincial Park, BC guide
Overview
About
Embark on a journey through time at Seton Portage Historic Provincial Park. Traverse the same landscapes that once buzzed with the excitement of the gold rush era. Today, the park offers a serene escape where visitors can indulge in bird watching, hiking through lush trails, and soaking in the scenic vistas that capture the essence of Canada's wilderness. Although the park does not offer camping, its historical significance and natural splendor provide ample adventure for day-trippers.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Seton Portage Historic Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall. This period offers the most comfortable weather for outdoor activities. Winter can be harsh, with heavy snowfall limiting access and activities, making it less suitable for visits.
Know before you go
- Check the park's operating hours and any seasonal closures before planning your visit.
- Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking and exploring the rugged terrain.
- Be mindful of the local wildlife and maintain a safe distance at all times.
- There are no camping facilities available, so plan your visit as a day trip.
- Remember to carry out all trash and leave the park as pristine as you found it.
