Where the river meets the sea, you're likely to find seals bobbing, herons and eagles on the shoreline waiting for their next seafood meal. You'll be passing fields of distillery farmland and an estuary, To smell the forest, sea, and freshness of a flowing river all in one breath doesn’t happen many places, but it’s here every day.

Tucked beneath towering cedar and fir trees, Heron Grove is an exceptionally spacious and private RV campsite on beautiful Quadra Island. With room for two RVs plus additional tents, it’s a great choice for couples travelling together, families, or small groups looking for their own peaceful piece of the island rather than a traditional crowded campground.
The property sits beside a long-established Great Blue Heron rookery, and depending on the season you may hear or see herons returning overhead. Woodpeckers, ravens, chickadees and other coastal forest birds are regular visitors, while lush ferns, moss and mature trees surround the campsite.
There’s plenty of room to spread out, set up outdoor chairs, cook outside, let the kids play, or simply enjoy the forest. The site is well removed from road noise and offers a quiet, partially shaded setting that stays pleasantly cool during the summer.
RV Hookups & Camping
The site is set up particularly well for groups travelling with more than one RV:
Two RV sites with water and septic hookups
15-amp and 50-amp power available
Additional 30-amp RV hookup with water (no septic at this hookup)
Space for two large RVs/trailers plus additional family tents
Back-in access for RVs and travel trailers
Large private outdoor area surrounded by forest
Quiet setting with no traffic noise
Explore Quadra Island
Heron Grove makes a peaceful home base for exploring the beaches, lakes, hiking trails and small communities of Quadra Island.
A favourite nearby outing is Rebecca Spit Marine Provincial Park, with beautiful beaches, walking trails, sheltered water, picnic areas and views across Drew Harbour. It's a great spot for swimming, paddling, beachcombing or spending an afternoon by the water.
For a more wilderness-style adventure, head to Main Lake Provincial Park, where you can explore Quadra Island's freshwater lakes, forest and quieter interior.
We also have two canoes available to rent for your stay, so you can get out and explore some of Quadra Island's beautiful lakes and sheltered waterways. Paddles are included; guests will need to bring their own properly fitted PFDs/lifejackets.
Hikers can also explore the Morte Lake Trail, Kay Dubois Trail and the many other forest and shoreline trails around the island.
Food & Local Stops
You don't have to cook every meal at camp. Quadra Island has a great collection of small cafés, restaurants and seasonal food spots.
In Heriot Bay you'll find waterfront dining and casual options, while the Quathiaski Cove area has cafés, seafood, pizza and other local favourites. It's easy to spend the day exploring the island, stop somewhere for lunch or dinner, and return to your own quiet forest campsite in the evening.
A Different Kind of RV Site
Heron Grove is best suited to travellers who appreciate privacy, space and nature. Instead of parking beside a row of other RVs, you'll have a large forested site where your group can settle in together and enjoy the slower pace of island life.
Bring your RV, bring another family, pitch a few tents, rent a canoe and use Heron Grove as your private base for exploring Quadra Island and the Discovery Islands.

Many trails and outdoor areas are close by and easy to access from our property.
We offer a simple RV parking spot in our driveway, with a view of the ocean, for fully self-contained RVs. Please note there is no sani-dump or bathroom, so your RV must be fully self-contained. This is a simple homestead RV stay rather than a full-service campground.
Our property is a small working homestead with a large garden, chickens, rabbits in the back and a seasonal farm stand where we sell herbal teas, artisan jams and jellies, and farm-fresh goods grown and made right here on the property. Guests are welcome to walk through the front garden, shop at the farm stand & with the owner visit the chickens. .

The Comox Valley is made up of the City of Courtenay, the Town of Comox, the Village of Cumberland, and the surrounding communities of Royston, Union Bay, Fanny Bay, Black Creek, Merville, Denman Island, and Hornby Island.
The Courtenay Riverway Heritage Walk is right across the road and runs along the ocean, through forested areas, around the Courtenay Airpark, and along the Courtenay River, connecting all the way to our downtown core.

Mishel was wonderful—extremely responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay. You can tell they put a lot of love into this space, as there were so many nice and thoughtful touches in both the decor and the amenities that made us feel right at home.

Our host, Alex was not only responsive, but knows how to connect with her guests. She asked questions about our interests and pointed out things in the area we might enjoy, and they were exactly what we were looking for! The high point of our trip was a half-day wildlife tour through SS Funships, which was unbelievable and a great way to enjoy this beautiful part of Vancouver Island. Throughout our trip if we reached out with questions, she was incredibly responsive! At the site we enjoyed star gazing, watching the sunrise a short walk away, and listening to the Owls she told us about every morning around 4:30 or 5:00.

It was indeed secluded with lots of privacy. And we got to pick berries from the trees that surrounded us.

I blissed out during what seemed a rare thing: I had the entire campgrounds to myself since it was after Labour Day. I had booked Site 1, but Colin convinced me to move my tent to the tent pad that faced the cow field. The tent pad is private enough, yet literally 20 steps to the main area, so you don't need to walk far at all. The cows were a comforting presence. Everything from the facilities to Colin's friendly and professional interactions made a short stay a memorable and relaxing experience.

We stayed 3 nights and had a great time. Being able to pick a site on arrival was really nice as we were able to get a feel for the layout and vibes of each. Everything was well maintained and straightforward. Great campground!

My family and I had the best time camping at Colin's farm. The kids LOVED watching the cows, and seeing Colin feed them was a fun show. Colin was very kind and helpful. He gave many great recommendations for us, and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!

We had the most incredible glamping experience at this absolute gem of a place! From the moment we arrived, our host was incredibly kind and courteous, making us feel welcome right away.
It is clear that a tremendous amount of care went into designing this space. Every single detail—from the bathroom setup,kitchen placement, the firepit to the games( inside and out)—was perfectly placed and highly usable. Everything felt intentional and carefully thought out.
We enjoyed plenty of privacy during our stay, which made the experience even more relaxing. As a wonderful bonus, we had beach access and were even visited by some deer in the morning. We truly loved every minute here and cannot recommend it enough! My kids said " We love Mishels place"

Loved this spot! Colin gave us lots of great advice on biking spots to check out with the kids and the campsites were great. Kiddos loved watching the cows which provided loads of free entertainment. Would definitely stay there again.
