Wow. What an incredible experience. Cathy is a phenomenal host, and the property is gorgeous.

Weekend Trip to Million Dollar Views

We loved camping at Million Dollar Views! The view from our campsite truly was spectacular and the sunrise was gorgeous. Dayna was very responsive and very helpful. We definitely felt welcome on her property. Our only complaint was the campsite is very close to the road, with about a dozen vehicles driving by per day. It really felt like we were just camping on the side of the road. That being said, there were no other people around which is what we wanted. We have a reactive dog so we wanted to be sure we weren’t going to run into any people or other dogs. And we didn’t! We were able to enjoy our weekend without having to worry. The property is beautiful and we would absolutely stay here again if another site eventually opens up.

The days we spent at ML Hipcamp were great; Cathy went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We stayed at the sites in the orchard and it was wonderful to wake up to the sound of birds and, of course, horses. Cathy just might have the best 'campground' shower I've ever used! I would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Fungi Forest Retreat

Highlight of my week long trip! Cant say enough good things about the hosts. The most kind and accommodating hosts I've met along my travels. I initially booked a site to tent at, but due to a grizzly hanging around and me travelling solo they upgraded my site free of charge for my safety. They made sure I had everything I needed, and made it feel like home, even lent me a speaker for the night :) Nooow let's talk about the property, my stay here felt like stepping into a fairytale. The property is magical ✨️ everything on the land is unique and built by the owners. You can feel the passion and care that went into creating such a unique and beautiful place. What a trip! Will definitely be back and staying longer next time ☺️

Weekend Trip to Fungi Forest Retreat

We loved our time at this amazing camp! We had everything we could ask for and more! The ammenities were above and beyond what we were expecting (Hello propane BBQ!) The cabins were roomy and well kept. The solar lights around the property meant that visits to the outhouse were easier after dark and the central camp kitchen area was perfect when the may24 weather started misbehaving. I cannot state strongly enough how much these hosts went out of their way to make sure we had the best stay possible. Jill gave us a tour of some additional camp areas (The Hobbit hole is on my bucket list) My wife and I felt extremely safe and welcome during our time here and our pups had a blast for their first time camping. We will definitely be back! Sean, JJ, Mitsu and Deek

Thank you for such a lovely stay! Such a beautiful piece of land and very unique stay! So many cute touches in the hobbit house. Cozy and comfy. Lots of space to explore and still felt very private. Travelling solo felt very safe on the land and in accommodations. Was such a wonderful reset and pause out in nature. Hosts were very kind and helpful. Will be back!

Weekend Trip to Blue Rein Ranch

Stayed at the cabin. Quite enjoyable, bathrooms only maybe a 1-2 minute walk from the door, so not bad at all. Host was welcoming and super friendly, but only half as much as the dogs, haha. Only tip is as its a loft bed, you use a ladder with slightly smaller rungs than anticipated- so if youve got ladder/height anxieties, you may be better off sleeping on the fold out couch below.

We loved our stay at Blue Rein! Had lots of space to ourselves and it was very peaceful aside from the occasional moos or neighs from the nearby animals. This is the perfect place if you’re an animal lover as you’ll be greeted by dogs, cows, horses, pigs, and chickens. There’s also a great communal building with washrooms, a kitchen sink , and some fun things like a speaker and pool table. Would absolutely stay here again!
