Gary's property was perfect for what i needed! Gary was a great host and even provided me an adapter for my 30amp connection.

Lovely spot a few minutes from Duncan and a short drive to Cowichan Lake. Gary was super helpful and let us arrive early. There are tent sites, van sites and one full service RV site. Ours is 37’. The communal spot by the pond is wonderful. We weren’t bothered by mossies or anything. Others mentioned a noisy peacock. We saw it everyday but never heard it! Very quiet and a joy to stay there. Highly recommend

Beautiful location right on the Cowichan Valley Trail system. An easy ride to explore the great vintage shops and cafes in historic downtown Duncan. Gary was easily reached by phone when we ran into an issue with our RV, and offered solutions. We especially enjoyed the peaceful pond complete with frogs, dragonflies, lily pads, and a seemingly unlimited array of friendly horses next door. Would recommend to others, the only caveat being the raucous peacock that woke us from 4-6am each morning. Earplugs recommended!
