Nestle into our walk-in private 'Pond Cabin' located on our 40 acre Regenerative mixed farm on beautiful Quadra Island.
This idyllic 160 square foot, wood stove heated cabin overlooks the largest pond on our property. The private site boasts a glorious on-demand hot water outdoor shower and covered outdoor kitchen. The Cabin has a double futon bed. Extra mattresses for kids can be brought to the cabin which can then sleep 4.
Walk beside our grazing sheep, goats and chickens and visit our forest raised pigs on your way to the cabin. As Foot Forward is a Permaculture inspired Regenerative farm, no fossil fuels are used in pasture/grounds maintenance. Sheep and goats are used to graze all of the grass including the grass around the pond and cabin.
Farm fresh eggs, and a variety of other products from the farm are available including (assuming they aren't sold out) our famous sausages.
Solar power provides you with all the lighting, shower-water pressure and technology charging you will need for your stay. There is no refrigeration onsite at the moment but access to a farm fridge can be arranged.
Quadra Island was recently rated by Forbes Magazine as #5 of its most up and coming travel locations in the world. Perhaps it was because of its natural beauty or the fact that it is a nearly mosquito free outdoor paradise. Quadra is the largest island in the Salish Sea. Endless recreational opportunities abound on the island. Hundreds of kilometres of hiking and mountain biking trails crisscross the island. Several guiding companies provide access to the world class kayaking and scuba diving off of Quadra's shores.
Do all that... or simply grab a book and curl up beside the pond or read a book in the hammock.
*** Winter Comment***
The cabin is winterized. The stove is actually to hot for the size of the cabin. It requires a little practice timing your fire and opening windows to keep it at the best temperature. Since we are all 'Hip" here... it just adds to the adventure. :) Oh yeah... bring boots. :) About once a year a rainstorm intense enough to overflow the stream you need to cross to the cabin overflows. In that case it is a bit of challenge getting there.

Escape to Quadra Island, away from crowds. Enjoy endless vistas and exclusive access to the calming embrace of the ocean and a short drive to pristine lakes, with nearby deer and human-made trails guiding you through untouched beauty. Experience the charm of a free-range farm where our feathered friends eagerly interact with guests. Committed to a serene atmosphere, our property is alcohol, drug, smoking, vaping, and nudity-free.
In addition across of the yurt we offer an RV pad.
Please note: We are located in a truly natural setting, where the forest is alive and thriving. Bugs and mosquitoes are not sprayed, and creatures like mice and harmless, non-poisonous snakes are simply part of the forest’s circle of life. Very occasionally, nature might find its way into the yurt—it is, after all, a well-equipped and cozy “luxury tent.” We do our best to keep curious visitors outside, but staying here is very much an immersive nature experience.

We loved tent camping on Paul's property, we drove around and looked at every site and ended up picking site 8 for it's privacy and cute little pond area, though we would have been ecstatic with any of the sites as they were all private and tidy. Boyd and Ace (resident campers we ran into) were also very kind and Ace was fun to pet! (He's a dog haha) the ocean was walking distance away which was also very nice. Paul even offered to deliver firewood to us and build us a cozy campfire! Would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a secluded, private, clean place to camp. We'll definitely be back next year!

Great host! Paul really cares for his property and set up a bunch of lovely, private, level, spaced out options(watch for slugs in the grass if you venture out on warm summer nights.) Came back for a second night knowing that finding something else in a busy holiday weekend was like playing chicken:) neighboring campers were all quiet and friendly and Paul was accessible if we needed anything. Nice touches like signage and clearly marked spot, clean potty, water. Thanks for giving us a nice spot on our journey! Probably one of the best most welcoming hip camps we have ever stayed in!!!! Would definitely recommend a stay here. Close to fun mountain biking and beach resort and lake options too. Thanks!

Great to find a last minute spot on a long weekend! The spot was secluded and quiet, close to amenities and just a few minute walk down to the water. It was perfect 👌

Quiet and private site. There were only a few other campers there. We stayed in campsite #4 which was great. No neighbors. Easy to find and easy to book on this busy holiday week. Water available from the spigot and there’s a single outhouse.

A great spot to spend a few nights, there is an outhouse,access to water and a short walk to the Salmon Point resort beach. There is even a sourdough farm stand at the entrance to the field! There are 9 spots to chose from and all are tucked away into a private space and driveway. We were able to easily maneuver and level our camper van and have enough space to set up a sun shelter. Dogs are allowed and the open field is a great space for them to run ( that is if they are not tired from all the activities nearby). There is an Italian restaurant- Mattone's that is right along the beach. We did not eat there this trip but the next time we stay at this hip camp we will make sure to stop in for a pizza or pasta. Thank you to our host Paul!

A fantastic sheltered and secluded spot. Handy for a good walk plus access to the stoney beach. Restaurant walkable where good reasonably priced food is served right above the beach. There is an RV site at the beach but hardly saw or heard anyone.
Great to have potable water plus a well stocked and clean pit toilet. Had great chat to the owner - great guy.

We stayed in Site 6 and it was pretty private! Backed on to Sites 3 and 4 but there’s a privacy screen that helps keep things secluded.
Host was friendly, outhouse was clean for what it is. Access to water. Close to a beach walk. Good spot to hang out for the evening after exploring Strathcona for the day.

One of my favourite locations on Vancouver Island. It has secluded camp sites looking over a large meadow. It's very close to the Salmon Point trail, which is a popular hike for locals. This time of year it is popular for salt water fly fishing from the beach at Salmon Point, a short walk away. Great for people looking for a quiet stay near some great walking trails. This is not your typical parking lot RV camping with flush toilets, a crowded pool and kids racing around on bikes.

I really enjoyed my time at this place. The Yurt is lovely and really well built. It is comfortable and the shower is so cute!
There is a toaster oven, coffee maker with coffee and sugar, plus cutlery and plates. There is water and a sink outside that has hot and cold. The wifi is pretty good, but cell service isn't. The driveway is very steep and rocky, so keep in mind when driving there. The bathroom is a walk from the Yurt on gravel. They are pet-friendly which is the best part! The owners were very friendly and kind.
Overall, I really enjoyed staying here and would again!

The campsite was great! Paul was a very wonderful host and checked to make sure we were good once we were set up, which was so appreciated. I would recommend sites 1, 2, 3/4! Site 6 was a tad dusty and site 8 is visible from the road. Get there early to pick your preferred spot. Campsite 1 provided great morning and afternoon/evening shade. There was a small table that we were able to use for cooking as we forgot our own. Would definitely stay again but as a tent camper I would recommend brining some sort of outdoor shower and make sure to pack a table and chairs! The outhouse was always very clean and well stocked.
