Mission, BC · 7 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
We have a 7 acre developing hobby farm currently with fruit trees, a garden, a king shepherd named Jack and a cat named Lulu. You may see some of our neighbour's ducks walking around and hear their rooster in the morning. Please note; our driveway is an uphill, switchback driveway so long trailers are not a fit for our location. Front wheel or 4 wheel is a plus but typically all vehicles can make it up our driveway. We have 2 swimming holes near and backing our property. At the back of the property is Hayward Lake/Hairsine Creek which is great for swimming. Inflatable paddle boards are the way to go if you wish to paddle board in the lake since it would be difficult portaging a rigid paddle board down the Crown Land trail. On the front is the Stave River Runoff. This has trails and is ideal if you have smaller children as the water is a bit warmer and has shallow areas. There are hiking trails in the area and a beach area a short drive from the sites.

In a cedar grove, nestled among the ferns, a lotus belle tent awaits you. A unique bed and breakfast in an off-grid tent. Inside the belle tent there is a comfortable double bed with clean sheets, plump pillows, and a warm Pendelton blanket. A 'west coast homestead basket' with granola, fruit ,and farm eggs is provided for a nutritious breakfast. A Berkey water filter provides delicious water from our mountain well. Inside the tent, a comfortable chair looks out over the mossy forest toward the creek. There is room to stretch, and a couple of yoga mats to use. A stretch is especially nice after exploring the nearby trails through Mount Maxwell forest. The trails take through a varied and fascinating forest. Along the way are mossy knolls with vistas of the valley, ocean, and Vancouver Island. One trail leads all the way to Burgyone Bay. The belle is an off-grid seasonal tent with electric candles for lighting and a composting toilet. At night there are solar string lights--should you want them--which illuminate the path to the tent. On clear nights, turn the lights off to star-gaze through the branches.

Morningstar Regenerative Retreat

12. Morningstar Regenerative Retreat

Port Alberni, BC · 1 site
Retreat to a quiet, living landscape where land, fibre, and story are woven together. Set against expansive valley views, three ecologically sensitive bell tents rest on cedar platforms within a regenerating ecosystem. This is MorningStar Woollen, a working regenerative sheep and flower farm where textiles, beauty, and land stewardship are practiced as one. This is not just a stay, but a slower way of being. Who this experience is for: - The Off Grid Seeker: Those who truly want to disconnect from digital noise, embrace a slower pace, and experience the quiet luxury of a fully unplugged space. - Makers and Creatives: Artists, writers, and textile enthusiasts wishing to rest, observe, sketch, and reconnect with the physical origins of material. - Nature and Land Stewards: Conscious travellers eager to live alongside a working, regenerating ecosystem and learn about the rhythms of land restoration. The 10-acre camping area invites gentle exploration. A self-guided walking trail winds through the land, with thoughtfully placed plaques sharing the story of restoration, fibre, and regenerative practice. Along the way, observe rotational grazing as it shapes the landscape: an ever-changing pattern of movement, growth, and renewal. Here, the process behind cloth begins in place: in soil, in pasture, in the care of animals, and in the rhythms of the seasons. All sites are walk-in only, preserving the quiet and integrity of the land. Guests are asked to remain within marked areas to support ongoing regeneration. Each tent is intentionally and comfortably appointed for the 2026 season while remaining fully off-grid. Please bring your own drinking water and come prepared for a more mindful, unplugged experience. The land is shared with wildlife (bears, cougars, elk, deer, and many others). A secure sea can is provided for storing all food and scented items. For those wishing to deepen their understanding, guided farm walks are offered Saturdays at 4 PM, offering a closer look at the working systems behind the landscape. To ensure the safety of guests, livestock, and working animals: - No fires - No pets (livestock guardian dogs are on site) - Do not climb or touch fences - Do not feed or pet animals Rooted in reciprocity, this is a place of m
