Weekend Trip to Stunning mountain views by the lake

Beautiful setting! We enjoyed our stay! Great spot to explore to area from.

Weekend Trip to Stunning mountain views by the lake

It’s a lovely, quiet place to stay near Nakusp that has some nice shady spots, access to the water (a bit of a steep hike down for the last few minutes), clean washrooms and a nice big communal fireplace that we could use with firewood provided. My family had a relaxing stay there and would definitely come back :)

Weekend Trip to Red Bell Farm

1 night at Grandview Acres

Rick’s campground was great. The bathroom and shower were clean and nice to have access to. There was L ots of space and Rick was a great host and lovely to talk to. I’m sure we will keep in touch and I would not hesitate to stay there again!

1 night at theDoighouse Earthship

Tent camping in a HUGE garden was awesome! We could wonder around and pick all the raspberries, blueberries, thimble berries and bing cherries we could stomach. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful! I highly recommend camping at the Doighouse. Susan and her husband as well as the volunteers we met were very kind, polite and hospitable! 10/10!! It was a wonderful experience!

We had the best time staying at Susan & Tony’s. They were amazing hosts and the cabin was perfect for a few days of tranquility. We would love to visit again!

5 nights at Red Bell Farm

Lovely spot very private. Probably has the most mosquitos out of all the spots though but still not bad (there is a pond it makes sense)

1 night at Red Bell Farm

Gary was so welcoming and kind. A beautiful property with some great amenities! Would stay here again if I’m in the area!🙂

Weekend Trip to Grandview Acres

Never ended up staying here due to no cancellation policy. Looked like a great spot from photos

Weekend Trip to Blacksmith Landing Eco Camp

First off this place is a little slice of heaven. It has no hookups of any kind but it allowed us to sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet of the land. There is a walking trail that leads to a lookout over the river and Bernie built benches so you could sit and enjoy the beautiful view. Now about the hosts….. love, love, love them! They are kind, funny, thoughtful and will do anything to make your stay a wonderful experience. I WILL come back, and I live in Arizona, it is that good. Also you have to try Bernie’s homemade chicken or turkey pot pies or the cinnamon rolls. To die for!! Stuart’s jerky is killer. These are people that make you feel like family. They have deep connection and love for the land and the way they put together this eco camp shows that connection. You will love this place!

6 nights at Red Bell Farm

Gary was a great host, very friendly and the campsite was very well maintained.

Weekend Trip to Field Sites & Secluded Tent Sites

Prospect Lake View

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Victoria, BC

The property is 1.5 acres in total set amidst rural surroundings. It is a very quiet and peaceful community set on the shores of the lake and surrounded by magnificent trees and greenery. There is limited bus service about a 20 minute walk away so a car is recommended. We are about a 25 minute drive away from Sidney, where most people will arrive by plane or ferry from the mainland, and also about 25 minutes away from downtown Victoria. The driveway from the street up to the front of our house is a paved sloped driveway and from there the access to the camping site is a sloped and curving dirt road. You don’t need a four-wheel-drive to get up it. We just want to be sure you are aware. The area itself is a level piece of ground to the side of our house. It is big enough for a small camper van and a tent. Please note it’s not a camping space like you would find in a provincial park. There’s no picnic bench or fire pit. In any case open flames are not allowed due to municipal regulations. Portable propane powered camping stoves are fine. We can supply a couple of plastic chairs and a small cocktail sized table. The facilities are comprised of a toilet in a small room in our basement and a utility sink just outside, accessed through the sunroom and down the back stairs. Pets are welcome, but must be on a leash or otherwise kept under control and not allowed to run loose. We have three cats ourselves, but they are 100% indoor cats and we do not let them into the sunroom when we have hip campers . There is no bath or shower available. You are advised to bring your own face and/or hand towels if needed. You also need to be prepared to take away your own recycling, garbage and organics.

Forest Hideaway

1 site · RV, Tent3 acres · Duncan, BC

Hi! We’re your hosts, Seth, Jodie, and Megan Williams. Recently we decided to share our property that we love and have enjoyed so much for two reasons: to give others the opportunity to enjoy it and to put money away for university. Our parents, Mark and Sarah, got behind the vision and are excited to be part of this project with us. We would describe our property as: home…and a really fun place to grow up! Our parents thought that wasn’t descriptive enough for Hipcamp so they’ve helped us describe it more. We live in a quiet neighbourhood in a forest that has been a source of peace, relaxation, and fun for us in our growing up years. We’ve noticed that people who visit here say they feel the same way. With plenty of space for kids to explore and adults to relax, our 3 acre forest is perfect for down time with a book in the hammock or a nature walk before dinner. Amenities and service: A single, tidy campsite with picnic table surrounded by mature and gently manicured forest, as well as a hammock, and a new construction outhouse. (Go dad!) We love hospitality, so though we won’t always be around when you’re here, if we are and you need something you can simply ask and we’ll do our best to provide what you need. To help you feel welcome we provide a fresh, cool jug of drinking water and large container of fresh potable water as well as access to an outside tap to fill water containers if needed (upon request) , power to charge devices (upon request), and a campfire ring with firewood (sorry about the frequent fire bans. Huge bummer. We will post current fire ban status while you’re here.) Surroundings and local attractions: Our property is situated in a low traffic rural residential area within ¬ 3 km to Sandy Pool Regional Park (5 min) A family favourite! ¬ 10 km to the Cowichan Valley Museum (Duncan Totem Tour) (13 min) ¬ 14 km to the Pacific Northwest Raptor Center (15 min) ¬ 19 km to the Hand of Man Museum (20 min) ¬ 20 km to Lake Cowichan (16 min) for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc Note: Lake Cowichan is also home to ‘The Tube Shack’ where you can rent tubes to float down the Cowichan River and catch the Tube Shack Bus back to your car. We do it every summer! Fun fact! It’s a 10-minute bike ride from our house to the Cowichan Valley Bike Trail. *(All destinations calculated from our dining table by Google maps) There are multiple well known hikes within 20 minutes (we suggest googling Stoney Hill Trail, Mt Tzouhalem, and Mt. Prevost.)
