Qualicum Bay, BC · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
🌲 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.
🌿 Come Visit, Tour, and Stay
We look forward to hosting you.

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.

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.

Group trip
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!

Great location, easy to find. And a bonus was the farmstand across the road selling hot homemade sourdough loaves on Sunday morning.

We absolutely LOVED our stay over at Colin's place. The site was so cozy, and the deck with the table was exactly what we needed to relax and play cards after a long day of exploring. The camp is exactly as described and easy to locate. Would most certainly stay here again!

Where to go
Greater Victoria
Yes, summer afternoons in Victoria can be a bit of a mob scene with cruise ship tourists scurrying to score their bucket list experiences, such as high tea at the Empress Hotel and wandering Butchart Gardens. But there’s so much more to the South Island (as locals call it), with dozens of provincial and regional parks to explore and unwind in. Can’t-miss adventures include the flat and smooth Lochside and Galloping Goose bike routes, the Sooke Potholes swimming hole, and the endless Pacific Ocean vistas along Highway 14 to Port Renfrew. Two provincial park campgrounds and numerous private RV parks sit within an hour of downtown.
Tofino and the Pacific Rim
How can a town that’s literally at the edge of North America (truly the end of the road) be so cool? In Tofino, explore the bold First Nations artwork of the Vickers Gallery, then rent surfboards at any of the funky surf shacks lining Highway 4 into town. Campers need reservations at Pacific Rim National Park in the summer months, yet there are a half-dozen private campgrounds that handle the overflow. Regardless of the weather, hikers will want to see Ucluelet's Wild Pacific Trail, and if you're looking to splurge on your next camping trip, book a whale watching excursion (with guaranteed sightings!), a zodiac trip to Hot Springs Cove, or an aerial floatplane tour around the Tofino.
Gulf Islands National Park
The dozens of Gulf Islands are like Vancouver Island in miniature—they’re rugged, picturesque places with quiet country roads and hidden camping gems. Visit farmer’s markets, dine at nautically-themed pubs and restaurants, and walk among the tangled arbutus trees that stand sentinel over precipitous limestone cliffs.
Mid-Vancouver Island
Two-and-a-half hours north of Victoria, Nanaimo is a major port of arrival and departure for BC Ferries’ routes connecting Vancouver city to Vancouver Island. This mid-Island region extends north to Comox and Courtenay along the island's sheltered, sunny eastern coastline, providing campers every possible kind of adventure. Sea kayaking, canoeing, sand-castle building, mountain biking, golf, and, of course, hiking and biking can be enjoyed on an almost year-round basis. Meanwhile, small ferries chug over to tiny west coast island communities. Watch for breaching and spy hopping orcas, plus bald eagles soaring overhead.
North Island
Continuing north of Campbell River (the "salmon fishing capital of the world"), forestry roads leading into the wilderness should be treated with caution, as massive logging trucks are still active in the area. The rewards for the journey, however, are well worth it, as North Island camping on remote mountain lakes means you’re unlikely to find anyone else around. Campers making the lengthy trip to Cape Scott Provincial Park at the western tip of Vancouver Island can set up their tent right on the beach for ocean views (stock up on supplies at Port Hardy or Port McNeill). To extend your adventure, ferries for Alaska via the Inside Passage depart from Port Hardy, the largest town in the region.
