We bought this long-neglected acreage in 2004, with dreams of raising our three boys by the sea. We christened it “Pebble Cove Farm” and got to work — we’re open year round and have elegant unpretentious waterfront accommodations. We have a menagerie of rescue farm animals and love sharing our love of animals and nature with our guests. We have a tiny, adorable rustic cabin tucked in the orchard with a distant view of the ocean. We provide granola, coffee, juice, milk and snacks. We buy organic whenever possible. We love animals so everything we serve on the farm is vegan! Come and enjoy this private magical setting!

You can visit picturesque local villages close by, as well as head to one of the local lakes for a day of swimming.Bring your own tents and van/truck campers.

Matt and Jody share a piece of their lovely property steps away from Elk Lake park. Such a quiet, peaceful spot. So convenient to Victoria and the Saanich peninsula. We’ll be returning!

Weekend Trip to Raylia Cottage Farm Stay

What a perfect stay! Michele was a lovely host and the cabin was in such a beautiful, peaceful spot. I loved the vibe of the cabin, cosy with the option to make a fire (loved chopping wood), and lots of cosy dvds' and vhs's to watch on the couch. The cabin also had its own privacy (its far enough from the main house & has its own driveway) which was perfect for us. It's located in a super convenient spot too, probably the best part of the island to stay - right next to a few cute shops, coffee carts and a restaurant while still being tucked away in the woods. Also next to a lovely hike. Would highly recommend!!!

Weekend Trip to Red Bell Farm

Stayed at Red Bell Farm and it was pure magic. The private peaceful campsite felt like our own slice of serenity, just a short drive from everyday amenities, with wildlife spotting around every corner and trails begging to be explored straight from the back. An unforgettable escape, all thanks to Gary for opening up such incredible land. Pure joy fireside by the pond, plus a simply equipped shared kitchen that made everything easy. Grateful beyond words, a Hipcamp gem for sure!

Located just a walk away from elk lake and a wonderful walk in nature:-)

Some of the ducks enjoying their pond; sadly a bit skittish.

Weekend Trip to Sea Change Farm and Nursery

The two sites at the farm are very private. There was so much to look at - ravens, rabbits, deer, and ducks on the pond. We fit two cars and two tents comfortably at elderberry. The hosts were great and very responsive to our questions. We can't wait to visit again!

The property is directly on the shoreline of the Strait of Juan de Fuca….beautiful! Site 2 is spacious. Harrison gave us some fresh eggs from his coop…tasty. He also gave me sound advice to launch from the river channel with my sea kayak to get through the surf zone more easily. We saw seals and a sea otter from shore. A little piece of “heaven!”

Beautiful place……we walked the beach and nearby river. A curious harbor seal followed us off shore popping up and looking at us. Watched a cruise ship go by and the fog bank settle on the Canadian Vancouver shore across the strait.

Weekend Trip to Eagle's Nest BNB

Tent spot 1 was perfect for a rooftop tent! A couple of sandy places next to the beach would work for a standard. The host came up to us after a bit for the check in, and told us it was good to drive down on the sand. We will likely be back! The sound of the waves of the background knocked us out so good. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our camping experience! It was a great balance of privacy and convenience. The sauna was a real treat at the end of a long day of adventuring. I genuinely appreciated the number of compost loo’s available. The axe throwing was a ton of fun! The location was unique and beautiful, and the people taking care of the land are so incredibly helpful. We will definitely be back!

Nice farm and location ideal for stop over on our bike trip. The pit toilet was not the best as it was very smelly. The kitchen was awesome to have and a wonderful area to sit. Gary was very helpful, welcoming and responsive to our pre-arrival messages. We were the only campers there but the 3 sites are all very close to each other. I we enjoyed our stay.
