Questions . Many people ask…
1) .”How far are we from Banff…
2 hours of a beautiful drive that includes kootenay national park.
2)..Important ❗️❗️Please do not bring firewood from other areas to our camp as our property is heavily treed forest and we do not want any transfer of raw wood bugs. We offer $10 generous bundles of wood.
3) When you book, One tent or RV and one vehicle per site. If you are looking to book for a group of friends/family area, we can help with that.. prior to booking.
Also, we reserve the right to put you in the best possible spot to fit in a proper site for what you are camping in and what your needs are. Often people book a site that’s completely wrong for them… but that’s ok… we will fix it. 😊
4) Smoking only on sand at sites and nowhere else on our property Please use a container to hold your butts.
5) Noise restrictions after 9pm…no music or loud behaviour after that. Strictly enforced. We value respect in the camp for all campers.

Blacksmith Landing is a safe, spacious and peaceful camp where minimal environmental impact is encouraged. 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.

Colin's little campsite is perfect! Clean, level, well laid out, quiet and not too far out of the way! Really enjoyed the "down on the farm" feeling! Colin takes a lot of pride in his little oasis!

Paul’s land is well groomed. It’s about 200 metres off the main road, on the right. The sites are mostly clearly marked lol. However, you can just grab any site that is available. It’s close enough to the ocean, 3-4 minute walk. There is a restaurant at the ocean side.
The evenings are quiet there. Perfect for just getting away from it all. The neighbourhood is very quiet in the evening. I liked enough that it was a 20 minute drive to Campbell River and Courtney. I would recommend this HipCamp

Paul's HipCamp is our happy place❣️We have returned there twice this summer, each time staying longer. The sites really are private and secluded - each one of them being a slice of paradise. We love that it is off-leash for dogs and no extra fee for having them there. There is an awesome, huge field where the dogs run, play and chase balls. I really don't want to rave about it too much as we would like to still have a spot 🤣 but it is awesome and and I can't say enough about how fabulous it is. Truly my happy place! 😃🌞

We love this campsite. Plenty of space between campsites, you could barely see and almost never hear any other campsite. The kids activities, including slip & slide, rope swing and disk golf were a massive draw and they did not disappoint. So much fun for all the family.
A bit more mosquitoes than other campsites but we brought our mesh tent as a hang out spot and it worked amazing. I think this year was worse than others so that may just have been a “this year” problem.
Hosts & camp attendants were very friendly and informative. Told us about some nearby beaches and lakes. The world’s largest paddle is 2 min drive which was pretty cool to check out.
We only stayed 2 nights but we will be back as we didn’t even get to check out the treehouse which I hear is amazing.
We will definitely be back. Can’t wait to hit the slip & slide again!

Det var en kæmpe overraskelse at bo på denne plads. Der var privatliv, ro, natur og det lå i skønne omgivelser. Det var alle pengene værd. Værten var utrolig hjælpsom, nede på jorden og imødekommende. Vi vil anbefale dette til alle som elsker det rolige autentiske campingliv i naturskønne omgivelser.

Colin was a great communicator prior to our arrival. We arrived late and he came up to greet us regardless, which was very kind. The spot itself was very well maintained and had nice chairs and a picnic table. Thank for everything!

We enjoyed our stay at Paul's land! After touring around the Campbell River, we arrived a little late (~8pm) but upon arrival there was a gentleman at the info area where we could ask questions. We got a little lost at first on which sites were free, but he guided us through to the other sites (which are first come first serve). We stayed at site 9 which worked out nicely. The plot was nice and long and at the end of it was an elevated area where we had to climb this log with nicely carved steps into it. For us, we didnt mind climbing up and down it to carry our tent and supplies over. There was also a metal fire pit with 2 logs inside, a little table and 2 log stools provided. Each site were secluded (lots of tree and bush in between for privacy). Water pump was located near the info area, and the outhouse had toilet paper and hand sanitizer included.
Thanks for having us!

Loved our stay here - Nice layout with wide open field in the middle. The sites are private and nice size. Paul greeted us on our arrival. Easy walk to the beach. Peaceful long weekend. Thanks Paul!
