Following the Strait of Georgia north of mainland Vancouver is the Sunshine Coast, which offers glamping escapes amid forest trails and mountain vistas. Experience an off-the-grid adventure in a tiny home with a camp kitchen and wood stove, or embrace luxury with a cabin-style suite featuring a hot tub and private deck. Glampers can find an array of amenities at glamping sites in the area, including comforts like queen beds, wifi, kitchens, and hot running water. The Sunshine Coast is also home to natural wonders like saltwater switches in Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park, where saltwater rapids change direction twice a day with the tide. Enjoy day trips to Tetrahedron Provincial Park for hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing in winter, or stop by Porpoise Bay Provincial Park in fall to catch the salmon run. Cozy waterfront glamping accommodations can be found near these attractions, as well as a bit farther inland for spots with views of the rugged Coast Mountains.

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. ~Hope you enjoy your time on the Sunshine Coast

Weekend Trip to Island Gertie

Loved staying in Paige's Tiny Homes! We were there with our two kids and fit quite comfortably. 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!!

Weekend Trip to Forest Sanctuary Cabin

We had a wonderful stay at Christian's cabin. It was the first weekend of April, and were treated to having the land to ourselves. With it being this early in the year, the cooking/lounging area and outdoors showers were not yet up. I took advantage of the Gibsons community centre showers ($3), as per Christian's suggestion. Christian is a thoughtful host, providing a tour of the area, lesson on using the woodstove, checking in occasionally, and providing equipment to meet all our needs. Between having no electricity (only solar powered lights), wifi, or plumbing; and access to a clean open air outhouse, water for drinking, hand and dish washing, a wood stove for heat, toasty warm bed, and the sounds of nature, we felt it was the perfect balance between rustic and comfort -- perfect environment to reconnect with nature and ourselves. We loved cooking food on the campfire, watching the stars come out, doing cold dips in the shallow pond, and listening to the distant chorus of frogs. We would recommend bringing indoor slippers for the cabin, tealight candles, flashlights, and cooking oil. We look forward to coming again and seeing the result of new developments Christian is working on!

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

We loved our stay in the micro cabin was so cozy with the small fireplace and was well laid out inside. The area was very peaceful, loved waking up to the frogs.

2 nights at Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

A lovely cabin on a lovely property. The hosts were communicative and we were very comfortable. Great way to ring in the new year!

Weekend Trip to Forest Sanctuary Cabin

Christian's forest sanctuary is just that! The work he has put into the cabin, surrounding grounds and water features is amazing. If fairies were real they would live here! Everything you could possibly need is provided. Bring lots of tea lites with you. I would also recommend bringing headlamps/lanterns if you are staying in the winter time. Christian is an amazing host and a lovely human being. Enjoy your stay, we certainly did.
