1 night at CaloWarren Crossing 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.
