A perfect site for camping! Thanks to Carmen for her welcome, and to her friendly dog Molly for her company at dinner and who garded at night. The chalet for the toilets is very nice and clean. A hot shower would have been nice but we were warned before our arrival that it didn't work.
We recommend!

It wasn’t anything fancy but it was a nice quiet space to spend the night. The washroom was close by and kept very clean. Spent some time chatting with Carmen, she was a lovely host. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect pit stop on my way driving from Whistler to Revy and Doug was a great host and kind human. Amenities were clean and fully functional. Views were great and I slept like a baby. Zero complaints from me.

This was a little piece of paradise, tucked away in a quiet area with incredible mountain views. The campsites are similarly spaced to a provincial park, so don’t assume total privacy while there. My neighbors were quiet so it was no issue.
The dog was the best hostess, greeting everyone when they arrived and, of course, inspecting every meal to be sure it was suitable. :D
Carmen and Dale were so kind and flexible. Their farm is a delight, and they’ve made a high quality campground out of their land. Extremely clean bathroom and great cleaning station. (The shower is NOT hooked up, so don’t go expecting it.)
I can’t wait to go back and continue exploring!

Doug's setup currently is probably the absolute best in BC.
* The camping spots are very secluded.
* Doug is a wonderfully nice host with a great deal of knowledge on the land
* Plenty of spots to explore even deep forests you can venture onto
Overall amazing experience and hidden gem.

2 nights at Wild Farm with Mountain Views
We loved the cabin on Elena’s land! The views are beautiful and the location close to the lake was perfect. The house was cozy and perfect for the 3 of us.

It was a very quiet and peaceful place. The porta-potties were odorless and very clean, and clean water was always available.
The campsite was large and open enough to fit over 5 tents, and I enjoyed seeing the stars very clearly at night.
If I get the chance, I would love to come back with a group of friends to share this experience. Thank you DOUG for providing such a pleasant place to stay.

We loved tent camping here on the long weekend! Peaceful, clean bathroom, and a 5 min drive to Anderson Lake with a little beach. Our 4-year old enjoyed watching the chickens.

We had a fantastic time at Carmen’s. It was very close to Anderson lake which was great for paddleboarding and swimming. Also about an hour from Joffre lake (now needs reservations). The camp was private and quiet.

Very quiet and private spot. The stars are terrific.
Each site has a large picnic table. The site was flat enough that we didn’t need to level our van.
The WiFi works best at the washroom. But it did reach to our picnic table, but not inside the van.
Underscoring the hosts suggestions on directions: do NOT use Google. Follow the hosts directions explicitly and you’ll be fine.
Anderson lake is worth seeing and only a five minute drive away.
The bathroom and running water were nice to have. A shower is coming soon, per the body, as they’ve been waiting for BC hydro.
We very much enjoyed our stay.

Puma’s a very large site that can offer some seclusion from the other sites while still being within a minute’s walk of the bathroom and dishwashing station. Amenities were kept very clean. The owners were very kind and attentive to any questions I had. Renting their add-on canoe is also a must!

We had an amazing time at Haylmore Creek Farm last weekend! The site was private, peaceful, and surrounded by a beautiful natural atmosphere that made it feel like a true escape. We especially loved the large outdoor table with the umbrella — perfect for meals and relaxing — and the lovely fire pit that made the evenings feel cozy and special.
The facilities were great and everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully set up. D’Arcy itself was such a great find — a quiet gem with so much charm. If you’re here on the weekend, definitely make time to visit Birken House Bakery just up the road.
Thanks again, Carmen, for such a wonderful stay. We’ll definitely be back!

We stayed over the long weekend, and it was definitely a good call, as was very quiet with only the 3 other campsite neighbours. Molly the campsite dog was sweet, calm and gave enough space that our dog felt relaxed. The Puma site isn't as private as we expected, but with the truck parked sideways we had our own little corner. It was such a joy to be able to have a campfire at this time of year. Was a convenient spot for our day trips to Anderson and Birkenhead lakes. Was a treat to have an actual bathroom, showers were not operational but on this warm weekend our lake swims were sufficient anyway! Would recommend to those trying to avoid the big busy provincial campsites, and of course, dog friendly which is always our priority!

The best camping near Whistler with campfires guide
When to go
The best time to camp, hike, and mountain bike at Whistler is May through early October. Fall is especially nice, with somewhat fewer crowds and vibrant color in the trees. May and June are often less busy, too, although they tend to bring more rainy days. Snow typically starts to fall in November and lingers at high elevations into summer. Whistler-Blackcomb normally opens for the ski season around the U.S. Thanksgiving week and closes in April.
Know before you go
- Several bus companies can take you between Vancouver and Whistler, from either the airport (about 2.5 hours) or downtown (two hours).
- Whistler has grocery stores, craft breweries, and lots of shops that rent gear for outdoor activities year-round. Businesses in the Function Junction neighborhood south of Whistler Village are more oriented to locals, as are stores in Squamish, 45 minutes to the south by road.
- Bears are common in and around Whistler—secure your food and anything else that might attract wildlife.
Nearby attractions
- Experience the tranquil beauty of the Canadian wilderness when camping near Cheakamus Lake. Surrounded by old-growth forests and snow-capped peaks, the Cheakamus Lake camping experience offers serene hiking trails and opportunities for quiet reflection by the turquoise water's edge.
- Delve into the heart of British Columbia's wilderness by camping near Garibaldi Lake. The Garibaldi Lake camping experience is a stunning blend of turquoise glacial waters, verdant forests, and breathtaking mountain views that make it a hiker's paradise.
