Lillooet, BC · 3 sites
3 sites: cabin, yurt, trailer.
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, and best for people who don't fear cliffs. You also lose service 5 minutes outside of Lillooet.
The property is surrounded by one other large private lot on one side and some steep crown land on the other. You can explore our lot down to the river or you can drive to other locations like the Horseshoe (a great swim spot), Carpenter Lake (great for swimming, too), Lac La Mere (good for fishing), Carol Lake, and much more.
All sites are located 150-200 feet away from our main house and share the same outhouse. However, it is unlikely for us to have more than one site booked the same time, so there is ample privacy.
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!

Peachland, BC · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Come camp on a 40-acre parcel backing onto crown land mountains and wake up in front of 10 acres of vineyard and a view of Okanagan Lake!
There is a small cabin and two camp sites to choose from.
Site 1 is best suited for tents and small campervans, less than 18' or so (though people with small trailers like tear drop campers have been fine).
Site 2 has a much larger flat area that can hold RVs up to 30'.
Cabin available for those that want to sleep in a cozy bed and have a warm fire :)
Outhouse on the property, which is just a pit toilet. It is a working farm so will likely have various equipment around at times as well as workers at certain times of the year. You’ll likely meet our very friendly and very energetic Bernedoodle, Bernie. If you prefer to keep him out of your campsite just let us know and we can keep him closer. Otherwise, he thinks he has the run of the place! Please check to see if campfires are allowed (live in a high-risk fire zone) and firewood is available with an extra charge. If you need anything to better enjoy your stay, just let us know!
Our property is located in Peachland, BC. Positioned midway between Kelowna and Pentiction, it is the perfect location to draw from both population centres and is well-positioned to act as a hub for popular wine and other agri-tourism activities. Peachland is within easy reach of over 200 estate wineries and microbreweries.

SELF-CONTAINED UNITS ONLY! ***PLEASE CONFIRM IN YOUR REQUEST TO BOOK THAT YOU HAVE YOUR OWN TOILET and a pop-up change tent to put it in if not in an RV. (You can dump your porta potty before leaving (but no bags) - just let the host know in advance).
Check in is between 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM.
We want our place to be about peace and quiet so we don't allow generators but we do have power sites.
THE MAP IS NOT ACCURATE ON THIS SITE! Please screenshot the directions that you will be sent. I do have a site map that I will post in the photos.
We strive to provide a place to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature, so it's not a place to party or have music loud enough for neighbours to hear.
Nestled in the heart of the Tamihi Recreational Area, just 20 minutes from town, our property offers a rare blend of seclusion and adventure. Surrounded on three sides by lush, moss-draped forest and bordered on the fourth by the stunning Chilliwack River, it’s a true nature lover’s paradise.
Enjoy a spacious riverside beach, great for swimming during the summer and fall as well a world-class fishing. The area features Class I–IV rapids for whitewater kayaking, with Chilliwack River Rafting just 5 or so minutes away. You can ATV right out of our gate onto unlimited logging roads and trails or hike the Trans Canada Trail 3 blocks from our gate.
There isn't river access at the sites. The stairs to the beach are through the picnic shelter. There is a light wire fence along the river in riverfront sites for protection due to a drop-off and undercut banks.
ATV's are idle in - idle out.
QUIET, well-mannered, leashed pets are welcome if you pick up after them and not leave them unattended.
LONG WEEKENDS are a minimum of 3 nights.
CHILDREN MUST be accompanied by a parent at all times!
FIREWOOD is $9. for a large feed bag full and is available between 9 AM and 8 PM.
WATER: We do have a non-potable water tap in the park. I'm not allowed to say that the water at the waterfall/creek is good water - so I won't.
BEEF and EGGS: We have grass-fed Black Angus beef jerky for sale (this cow was treated as a pet until her time & was dispatched on the farm to avoid stress). We occasionally have eggs from our pastured chickens.
Our free-range kind, gentle horses also wander the property. Any interactions with them are at your own risk! The gate must be kept closed because of them.

We stayed two nights at Christian’s beautiful cabin. Christian is super helpful and responsive as a host. Cabin was clean, warm and cozy with the firewood stove. Campground too was clean and well maintained. The composting toilet is a little daunting for the us first timers. Overall, highly recommend it if you are want a true off-the-grid experience

The road in is a bit hectic- would recommend a 4x4 as there were lots of rocks on the highway, especially closer to the cabin that might scrape up smaller car (we did make it in our small hatchback but would recommend against it lol) But once you reach your destination, Ren was very responsive, warm and friendly. She provided us with lots of firewood and kindling, and even gave us a lovely gift of fresh vegetables from her amazing garden. The cabin was clean, tidy and the bed was very comfortable. The outhouse is even beautiful! with great views haha. I will definitely be coming back in the future, and would highly recommend to anyone looking to get away into nature for a weekend.

Jim welcomed us warmly and happily.
He really helped us plan our stay on the island. We also talked with him about his life and life on Salt Spring, and we really hit it off. The evening before we left, he came to say goodbye, and it was really pleasant. We highly recommend staying with Jim.

We had another great stay at the Wild Coast Parksville Hipcamp. Cory is a wonderful host and we absolutely love the campsite. We will always try to stay at this Hipcamp every time we are planning on visiting the Parksville area.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our Second Year at Tiny Secrets Retreat — and We Can’t Wait to Come Back!
This was our second year coming to Tiny Secrets Retreat, and once again, it did not disappoint! This place truly feels like a peaceful little sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
One of the things we absolutely love is how easy and relaxing the experience is. We can simply bring our own food and everything else is supplied for us. It takes so much of the work and stress out of camping while still giving us that wonderful feeling of being away in nature. It’s the perfect escape when you just want to unplug, slow down, and breathe.
We stayed in the glamping tent, which was lovely. We did have a bit of a run-in with some very persistent raccoons during our stay, but what really stood out to us was how quickly and thoughtfully the hosts responded. They immediately moved us into the convertible bus, and WOW! What an incredible cozy space! It was absolutely phenomenal and gave us the restful, comfortable stay we needed.
The hosts’ customer service is exceptional. They genuinely care about their guests and go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable and having a great experience. That kind of hospitality makes such a difference.
After the craziness and hustle of city life, Tiny Secrets Retreat is exactly what we needed .... a place to relax, recharge, enjoy nature, and simply do nothing for a while. We left feeling rested and refreshed, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again next year!
Thank you for another wonderful stay and for taking such great care of us. ❤️

The micro cabin was thoughtfully designed and had all the basics we needed for a comfortable stay. Loved the indoor-outdoor vibe with the big covered porch. Kito and Fiona were responsive and flexible as we adjusted a portion of our stay. Would definitely stay again!

Jim went above and beyond by responding to all of my messages in a timely manner when we were looking for somewhere to stay at very short notice . He even allowed us to check in early because we had a sizeable travel trailer in tow and had nowhere to safely leave it when we’re were between camping sites.
His property was clean and well maintained and located in a very quiet residential area just minutes from Ganges town. Jim was available to answer any questions we may have had about the area, places to go and sights to see. He has even built a viewing deck next to his home so that his guests can sit and enjoy the view of the ocean .
I’d def recommend staying here to anyone looking for camping on salt spring island.

5 nights at Deep Mountain Sea Cabin
Jacques and Ren were wonderful hosts and very accommodating to all our needs with great communication. It was wonderful to meet Jacques in person on their peaceful property. The cabin was well designed and very comfortable with wonderful plastered natural walls. Having the river access right on the property was an exceptional bonus. We’d absolutely stay here again when in the area.
