Mission, BC · 6 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.

We are faithful stewards and respect our beautiful forested lands and animals Our expectation is that campers will also share this respect for our Eco systems in an environmentally friendly way.
As we take this Hipcamp journey together, we are finding little things we can do to make your stay better…Like offering a complimentary table at your site should you require one…. or adjusting the site you booked to one that would perhaps fit your needs much better as we know it’s difficult to choose a perfect site on line. If you forgot something, we probably have one…. Feel free to ask.

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.

We loved camping on Caitlin’s land! She was so so sweet and informative, and there was lots to do and see(if only we had more than just an overnight!). Our site was right next to a sauna, and overlooked a cute little marshy lake. We walked around and checked out the neighbouring sites available, and they all looked really cute. Pets are allowed, we had our 2 huskies with us! There’s a coin shower, a dock, sheep, turtles, a playground, fire pits, an outhouse with a cushy seat. The sound of frogs croaking throughout the night:) highly recommend staying here, and we will keep them in mind for next time we visit out that way. Thanks so much for the lovely evening Caitlin!

What an amazing — and ambitious — place to stay. The tour of the Earthship was definitely worth it. I love learning about alternative home building.
Just before you enter the site’s property is a beautifully maintained, accessible trail that meanders through an older second growth forest of cedar, fir, Sitka spruce with ginormous skunk cabbage. No litter on the trail. Very little invasive plants.
Tony and Susan are wonderful hosts. I highly recommend this HipCamp!!

Very beautiful property with a super sweet family hosting! This was my second time camping here, and it was amazing both times :) We plan to continue returning and highly recommend it! The hosts have clearly put a lot of time and effort into every detail, and it really shows throughout the property. The amenities are very convenient, and it still feels like your own private space while being easily accessible from the city. Thank you again, James and Lisa <3

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend at Kootney Born Campsite! John and Michelle were so welcoming and we're always available for any help needed. The campground is in a lovely peaceful spot along the Arrow Lake and has, games, running water, a shower and provides firewood as well as a communal gas cooker. We really enjoyed the complementary kayaks and exploring the local areas. I would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone and I hope to return some time in the future!

We came with our dogs, cats, and motorhome for a night on our trip west. Was a shame to only spend a night, this is a beautiful area we would love to explore. Hosts were wonderful. Would happily stay again and recommend to others. We stayed in site 6, which had some nice privacy.

Beautiful spot on the river. During our stay it was nice and quiet. Good shower facilities and if you don’t want to drive you can walk to small supermarket and liquor store. There is a good walk just down the road alongside the river which is beautiful too. Scott was easy to organise booking with and very helpful on day of arrival when we had trouble with connecting up the RV.

Great hosts very responsive and brought firewood and extra water immediately. Scenic site with a connection to Hayward trail.
The sniff spots are also a great addition for dogs to explore and play. There are chickens and ducks nearby for kids.
The porta potties are a nice touch.

We had a great time camping here and would come back in a heartbeat! The area was beautiful and was right by the river, and the campsites were large and well-maintained. The provided amenities like the dishwashing station, clean outhouses, and wagons for moving supplies made our trip super comfortable. And of course the friendly dogs made it even better!

Weekend Trip to theDoighouse Earthship
Our stay in the Maple Cabin was very comfortable. A nice double bed with cotton sheets and a down duvet kept us perfectly warm and cozy. Susan was very kind and communicated well. She greeted us and showed us around the gardens and facilities when we arrived. It was the perfect jumping off point for our day trip to Qualicum Beach, Cathedral Grove, Tofino and Uclulet!

We had a lovely time at Flyaway Farm and Forest! Bernhard was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The view from the trailer is amazing. I would recommend bringing warm clothes, slippers and sleeping bags as the nights were a bit chilly even with the heater going in the trailer.
