🌲 Welcome to the Doighouse Earthship — the ultimate central basecamp for your Vancouver Island adventure.
Nestled under the canopy of a beautiful West Coast temperate rainforest in Qualicum Bay, theDoighouse Earthship is a peaceful eco-retreat and the perfect jump-off point for exploring in any direction.
Our campsites are mindfully scattered across two acres of our larger woodland property. They are designed to offer a peaceful forest experience—spread out enough that you won't be bothered by neighbouring camping sounds, while still letting you catch a friendly glimpse of tent lights through the trees.
📍 Great Location on Vancouver Island
Our spot is ideal for both adventurers and peace-seekers. Use us as your ideal base to explore local trails, visit the iconic ancient giants at Cathedral Grove, and take an inspiring tour of our Earthship before you head further west to explore Tofino or journey up north.
Located about an hour north of Nanaimo, we’re a great stopover for guests travelling to or from the mainland. Mount Washington is just a 45-minute drive if skiing is on your itinerary, and we’re also well-positioned for day trips to Hornby, Denman, and Lasqueti Islands.
🥾 Hiking, Beaches, and Outdoor Fun Nearby
Explore forest trails, a children’s playground, and a bike park right in our neighbourhood. The Lighthouse Country area offers endless outdoor adventures, including:
• Sunny Beach
• Spider and Horne Lakes
• Horne Lake Caves (great for climbers and explorers)
Hikers can use the AllTrails app to find the Lighthouse Country Trail at our doorstep, including the Wilson Woodlot and Lost Runners Trails. (Urban legend says the running shoes were lost—not the runners!)
⛺ Stay your way: Lodging in the Forest
Whether you are looking for an off-grid cabin experience or pitching a classic camp under the canopy, we have a spot for you:
• Cozy Tiny Cabins: Unwind and relax in one of our intimate, rustic forest cabins.
• Forest RV Sites: Park your rig right at the quiet edge of our woodland.
• Garden & Under the Canopy Tent Sites: Pitch your tent amidst our green spaces and trees.
While you are here, 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.

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. Gibsons -Sunshine Coast is a 40 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver BC
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.

Tenting beside the tranquil pond, listening to the frogs and breeze through the trees while falling asleep was very relaxing.

It was a great central location to camp while exploring the Campbell River / Comox area. Paul was super friendly and accommodating. The outhouse was clean and no too unpleasant to use. The site (we had no. 1) was a bit shady and basically a blackberry bramble, and close to the road so we had traffic noise throughout. Also we arrived past 9pm on our first night and because of the first come first serve structure, we didn’t have a reserved site. Someone had snuck onto the property and set up their tent so we had to camp in the field the first night. Paul refunded us so that felt fair. The site was missing a picnic table and we would have loved a shower but all in it was a nice stay. We loved the beach walk nearby at sunsets. Just awesome.

Paul is a good friendly human! Me and my two friends stayed out there for two nights and it was very easy, relaxed, and safe!
Very lively in nature! We had so many dragonflies pop by and hangout inches away and there is a nature trail near by that connects to the ocean

1 night at The Camp at Kitchensink Farm
I stayed in the cute RV where we have a lovely 1 night stay. The shower and campers kitchen is new and thoughtfully laid out. There’s gorgeous lighting all around the garden and it felt super safe and comfortable. Thank you, would stay again 💕

This was such a great find! Quiet and cozy, Colin was lovely and no crowding! Its basic but has everything needed for a few nights, especially with the swimming spots close by to wash off after a day of hiking! Loved the sky viewing and my pup loved meeting the cows!

What a cute little site! Well maintained site and getting to watch the cows out in the field was wonderful. Check in was super easy with us just needing to roll up and unpack, but it was super nice of Colin to come check in on us each evening. Would highly recommend this site for anyone looking to stay in the Comox Valley, especially if you plan on spending your time at Saratoga beach (my fav)

Lovely property, friendly host, and the cows are so cute! The sites are well laid out, private, welcoming, and obviously cared for. Good directions and easy to find. The kid said even the outhouse is beautiful lol. Thanks for a great place to stay!!

Nice, private sites on a beautiful property. The pit toilet and dish sink were rustic, but well kept. We loved the 5-minute walk to Mattone, a delicious Italian restaurant on the water, as well as the beach and trail. We were really grateful that we landed here, as all the camgrounds in the area were booked. We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. Highly recommend!

Great spot for a simple, nature-focused trip. The campsite is a nice, open field with excellent signage and picnic table provided —ideal for those who don’t mind basic facilities in exchange for a quiet, scenic location. Close to town if you don't feel like camp cooking and want to go get dinner. A solid choice for easy camping.

Our stay at Paul's campground was great! We would love to come again! We stayed in #2 and #5.
Ace and Boyd greeted us when we arrived and helped orient us to the sites.
The absolute best feature was the night sky. We could see the Milky Way!
We brought badminton rackets with light-up birdies and glowing LED frisbees to play on the field at night. We had lots of fun with friends and family!
Thank you for hosting us!

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.
