CaloWarren Crossing Farm is nestled in a forested 13-acre slice of paradise. Owners Ted and Robyn Fisher diligently cultivate a welcoming environment for those seeking to reconnect with the agricultural basics. Amidst the lush greenery, you'll discover an annual vegetable garden interwoven with a variety of perennial food-bearing plants. The farm boasts numerous landscaped gardens and ongoing projects, offering just a glimpse of its vibrant activity.
For animal enthusiasts, CWX is home to a charming array of creatures, including sheep, Nigerian Dwarf goats, rabbits, Indian runner ducks, American Mini pigs, various chicken breeds, and a handful of friendly dogs.
While the farm is ideally suited for tents, it can also accommodate truck campers and small RVs, with access to water, power, and sewer facilities.
On weekends, CWX opens its gates to the public, inviting families to enjoy close encounters with the animals. The on-site farm store offers a tempting array of delights, from farm-fresh eggs to French-pressed organic, locally roasted coffee, and 8 flavors of Foothills ice cream served in homemade waffle cones. Additionally, guests can indulge in a selection of homemade treats.
During the growing season, visitors can also partake in the experience of picking and purchasing fresh produce straight from the farm.

Stopped for an overnight spot in between destinations and it turned out to be a highlight of the trip. Kids absolutely loved it and so did we. Robyn is a gem and her farm is spectacular. Our kids got to experience so much and we all learned a ton. Between the animals and garden they spent their evening and morning exploring and learning. Would go out of our way to stop here again. We were all sad to leave and would have stayed more nights if we didn’t need to get to our next destination. This is exactly what we hoped a hip camp stay would be, blows camping at a park out of the water. Great place to recharge and reconnect.

My teenager daugther’s and I camped for a night. We arrived late and were met with s warm welcome and choices of where to camp. It was so peaceful that night! In the morning we went for a coffee at the farm store front, had amazingly tasty treats made by our host, and delicious coffee. Then my girls met the goats, ducks, chickens, rabbits, dogs and cat, and had a blast. They talked about how great their morning was on the drive to Prince George.. We really had no expectations, and we just wanted a pit stop on the way
north, and we were met with an engaging stay and kindness. I highly recommend staying.

What a perfect spot to stop for the night with the family! Spacious and comfortable for setting up our tent, with the added convenience of potable water and a flush toilet just steps away. The highlight of our stay was strolling through the garden and picking fresh vegetables for dinner. Lettuce, carrots, zucchini, beans, peas, basil, and potatoes. With raspberries for dessert. The kids loved the variety of outdoor activities, from the zip line and swings to the disc golf course, and especially the petting zoo with pigs, rabbits, and goats. The hospitality was outstanding, and we truly felt welcomed. This will be our go-to place whenever we pass through Quesnel.

Robyn was very friendly and flexible. Her garden is a fairytale garden tucked into the woods. We picked super fresh veggies for our dinner … she was very generous. She and her son even set up our fire pit for us. The bathroom is clean and convenient. We enjoyed the animals! Would stay again 👍

This was our second time at Dean’s property and it was just as peaceful and relaxing as the first. This property has river front views and only the peaceful sounds of the birds and the river.

What a beautiful spot! Thanks to Robyn and Ted for sharing their quiet oasis, where the only noises are the pit pat of duck feet (and nature!) Make sure you try Robyn’s delicious baking and fresh brewed coffee, I recommend skipping breakfast and heading straight for her little cafe.
Oh, and besides the awesome humans, there are lots of cool critters ❤️

Robyn is a gem of a human- hospitable, kind, welcoming, and stewarding a beautiful piece of land for people, animals, and plants to all coexist. I had a peaceful stay and was very grateful to be able to stay in the cabins during the rainy days. Her and her husband have a great vision for the land and I hope that all goes well with fixing up the cabins and providing a space for people to recalibrate and reset their nervous systems!

Friendliest people I've met on my travels thus far- immediately was greeted by Robyn & Ted and their dogs (who are the absolute sweetest pups). Being around all the animals recharged my battery. I felt right at home, it was perfect.

Where to go
Barkerville
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to go back in time, Barkerville has the answer. Triggered by Billy Barker’s gold strike on Williams Creek, this amazingly preserved boomtown became the epicentre of the Cariboo gold rush: it was once the largest city west of Chicago and north of San Francisco. Peek inside more than 125 heritage buildings with museum displays and live presentations, or talk to one of the onsite historical interpreters.
Wells
Five minutes before you arrive at Barkerville, make a pit stop (or find a pretty campsite) in Wells. While Barkerville is a time capsule, Wells is a living town, with its brightly painted historic buildings, small-but-lively artistic community, cute cafes and diners, and rows of little shops and galleries. The Wells Museum dives into the area’s second gold rush in the 1930s, when droves of men looking for work came to Wells, changing the area forever.
Bowron Lake Provincial Park
Put your canoeing skills to the test along the Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit, a 116-km chain of lakes, rivers, waterways and connecting portages. This spectacular slice of wilderness butts up against the western slopes of Cariboo Mountain Range, where you can choose a route that takes two days or 10. If your canoeing skills are up to snuff, there’s also a drive-in camping option. No matter which option you take, the scenery remains stunningly beautiful.
When to go
Thanks to warm air flowing off the Pacific and inland to the Cariboo region, Quesnel’s climate is quite mild compared to the rest of Canada. It gets cool at night, even in the summer when daytime temperatures average above 24°C. May through to September is the prime time to enjoy those extra-long summer days outside. If winter camping is what you’re looking for, aim for March to get the snow but not the deep chill.
Know before you go
- Quesnel is on the main route to the Yukon, located equidistant from Williams Lake to the south and Prince George to the north, on Highway 97.
- It’s an 8-hour drive from Vancouver to Quesnel, making it the ideal spot to pull over and rest after a full day's drive. Quesnel also has a regional airport (as does Williams Lake).
- While the summer months bring the balmy weather, they also bring out the bugs—be sure to pack appropriate insect repellent and long-sleeved clothes.
- This is a remote part of BC, with long stretches of windy road without many services. Be prepared.
