Wander the property and enjoy our young permaculture food forest, filled with fruit trees, hazelnuts, berries, and other good things growing with care.
🌎 Discover Our Off-Grid Earthship
Have you ever imagined a house built from tires, earth, pop cans, and glass bottles? Our Earthship - currently under construction - is an exploration of low-impact, off-grid living in an energy-efficient home built from recycled materials.
This project is rooted in a love for the planet, people, and sharing abundance—which is why we don’t raise our rates for holidays or long weekends.
🔍 Book a Private Earthship Tour (Optional)
Guests can book a private Earthship tour, where Tony will spend a couple of hours sharing the story behind the Doighouse project and answering all your questions.

Gibsons, BC · 2 sites · Tents, Lodging
This property was purchased nearly half a century ago. For the majority of this time the forest section you will be camping in was left undeveloped, apart from a few mountain bike trails. Recently, as a family, we have seen a large increase in the people traveling to the Sunshine Coast to escape the city limits. Unable to rock up to a campsite and pick our spot like we used to, it was easy to see a growing demand. We have taken everything we love about camping and done our best to give you a sense of what life on the Coast is really about.
Please note: By entering onto the property you release all liabilities towards us as hosts. You are choosing to camp in a forested area that contains many hazards as well as potential threats. These include but are not limited to; Wild life (bears, bob cats, cougars etc), Fire is a serious threat to this region during summer months strict no smoking policy is in effect. Care should be taken walking around uneven surfaces. All campers are required to stay within camp boundaries fail to follow these protocols will result in being asked to leave.
Please respect this piece of land as much as we do.

If you're seeking a peaceful and secure place to spend a few nights, I would highly recommend at this location. Jay is a lovely and personable host. Her back yard makes one feel calm, as in nature. You get to enjoy the morning sunshine and the trees give just the right amount of shade in the afternoon & evening.
As noted in Jay's instructions, you may find it easier to drive in, rather than back in, and then use the adequate space in her back yard to reposition your rig onto the grave pad provided. (I definetly found this to be the case with my camperized extended GMC Savana as I currently don't have a backup camera.)
The next time I come to Nanaimo, this location will be my first choice!

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!!

Rod was a tremendously affable host! He provided me with a propane firepit so I could sit outside and enjoy the evening. I told him I was interested in possibly setting up
a HipCamp site at my home in Shelton, WA. And he gave me a lot of good, positive information. He should be an ambassador for HipCamp! He really loves hosting people.
Another bonus: the amenities included a sewer and grey water dump and water.

Tressel with beautiful wisteria bush provides a nice separation. Dogwood tree was in bloom when we were there. Very short walk to beach with a bench to sit on. My mobility-challenged husband handled the walk just fine. Took him about 7 minutes. Eagles were at beach when we were there! Get the Seafood Chowder at the Rusted Rake Brewery (only 2km away)!!!

What a beautiful property and location was great. All of the sites are pretty private, and spread out. We had a sweet little pond to look at and the kids played soccer on the big field. The frogs were amazing and vocal all night long (bring earplugs if that may bother you) but was otherwise so quiet and peaceful. What a treasure to have found! We will definitely be back and I've already recommended it to a couple of friends. I'll take peaceful nature over a campground any day!! Thank you so much for the great camping spot!!

The kitchen has just enough of what's needed and the patio with hammock and propane fire pit was lovely. Super gracious host and Gabriola is the best. Only piece of advice is that if you're sleeping in both tiny homes, only the bigger one has heat, so bundle up. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning!!

Where to go
Tribune Bay Provincial Park
Home to the sandy beach and warm water of Tribune Bay, this provincial park is one of the most popular spots on Hornby Island. There are a few camping options within walking distance of the park, including the largest campground on the island, Tribune Bay Campground. Make sure you book a Tribune Bay campsite in advance, as it gets very busy in summer. An outdoor adventure centre also entertains families with tent camping. Just remember: Don’t confuse family-friendly Tribune Bay Beach with Little Tribune Bay Beach—the “little” one is clothing-optional.
Helliwell Provincial Park
At the southeast tip of the island is Helliwell Provincial Park. There is no camping within the park, but on a small island such as this, the campgrounds near Tribune Bay are also close to Helliwell. The park is popular for birding and wildlife watching, canoeing, and even scuba diving, as well as hiking along the bluffs for stunning bay views. Head north to Whaling Station Bay for a swim—it’s one of the most popular beaches on the island.
Ford's Cove and Mount Geoffrey Escarpment Park
On the west side of the island, Ford’s Cove has a small campground, a marina, and a shop. The beach is known for strange rock formations, which campers check out before heading onto the water for fishing or kayaking from Ford’s Cove. You can also stay on land to take the short walk to Mount Geoffrey Provincial Park. Here, you can hike, bike, or horseback ride on the three trails, and take in the views from the rocky cliffs.
