Nice private tipi surrounded by trees and next to the farm. The sink was nice to have nearby. Garbage and recycling cans near the parking spot. Nice bedding. Picnic table and chairs outside. There is some traffic noise although you can’t see it and it quiets down later. Saw pheasants, rabbit and birds.

We had a fantastic stay at Alpaca Woodland! Roger was an above and beyond host- he came out during a thunderstorm to offer extra shelter for our tent. The animals were so cool to meet and the location was wonderful for exploring the Qualicum Beach area. We’ll be back and would highly recommend!

Great secluded campsite just off the old highway. Roger was a fantastic host and his little farm is very private and has lots of shade on a hot August day. He made sure we had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Can't wait to come back. His animals are super cute too.

Bernadette and her family are top notch hosts. The tent is beautiful with all the possible camping kitchen gear you might need. All of the sites on property have their own space. The bathroom and shower are clean and easily accessible. Best of all, we were lucky enough to have a detailed farm tour with the animals. Jordan enthusiastically gave us a twilight tour telling us about the animals, sharing special details and stories, and answering so many questions. So much love and care going into this property. A truly magical place!

We absolutely loved the place. Roger was sonmond to welcome us and introduce us to the alpacas and goats. Our kids loved feeding them and the lot was also very beautiful and remote. We would loved to stay for more nights but we had to catch the ferry and could only stay for one night.
