Wild Farm with Mountain Views

4 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents26 acres ¡ BC
Wild Farm with Mountain Views Camp with Bambi! Wildlife viewings including bears, moose, deer, geese, ducks, hummingbirds, warblers, finches and wolves. Big open 360 degree mountain views. Bright stars and open field where you can tuck into the treed edge next to the deers! The moonlight can be as bright as daytime and the stars are quite a site. There are four sites to choose from according to your needs. The RV sites are for RV's that are self-sufficient without the need for electricity nor water in or out (no dumping and there is no running water nor an outhouse at RV sites). RV's will be parking on grass and the site requires levelling. We can accommodate vehicles up to 39ft in length. Have your choice of bringing your own tent or using ours! New Glamping Dome Tents with Queen Sized Beds, table and chairs and hammocks including a small van fridge/stove and covered counter for cooking . Unplug and Unwind to the sound of breeze through the trees and romantically flowing water from the nearby creek. There is no cell service or electromagnetic disruption here which makes for a beautiful peaceful mountain retreat. Bring your telescope for the opportunity to see clear, off the grid skies and epic star viewing for the astronomer in you. Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park is a literally walkable from our farm and there you can hike, fish, swim, paddle, and more! This road is maintained by Canadian Department of Forestry. It is a gravel road that in winter would require 4x4. Otherwise we've seen many EVO cars (Prius Hybrid or fully electric Kia Niro) and even fancy BMW sedan's on this road.

The 5k Stay on Highline Road

11 sites ¡ RVs, Tents142 acres ¡ Lillooet, BC
Situated on a mountain plateau overlooking beautiful Anderson Lake there is a rugged beauty to this land. Through a quirk of geography, our land is remote and wild while only being a 3 hour drive from Vancouver. Located at the beginning of the Highline Road popular with adventure seekers, this property is about a 10 minute drive from the Anderson Lake boat launch in D'Arcy. The lake is a fisherman's dream known for its rainbow and bull trout. Paddle boarding, hiking, biking, and motorized sports are among the activities enjoyed in the area. Upon ascending the initial gravel road climb, you will be greeted with fantastic mountain and lake views. Pines, cedars, firs, birch, and aspen make up the forest cover while junipers and wildflowers find their home in the clearings between the trees. Hot during the day and cool at night, the views truly glow just before sunset and then again as the moon rises to cast pale shadows on a land free from light pollution. The property is still under development, so please excuse the mess as we build out our off-grid spa and amenity spaces. Currently we only offer a compost toilet, but stay tuned for a further refined experience that will include access to water, showers, 6 person hammocks, and trails. At this time we do not allow fires due to local fire ban, but CSA approved propane fire pits will soon be available for rent.

The best camping near Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

At the some-10,000-hectare Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park, the serene lake is the main draw. Anglers are attracted by annual trout and char derbies and boaters appreciate the striking mountain views. Hiking includes an easy lake-side trail as well as rugged wilderness trails through terrain shaped by volcanism and glaciation. Lots of wildlife can be spotted, including moose, deer, and mountain goats, plus the occasional spotted owl or grizzly bear. The park’s rustic, 90-site lake-side campground has water spigots and pit toilets as well as a sandy beach, a boat launch, and picnic areas. The park is the traditional territory of the N'Quatqua First Nation.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Reservations are available from mid-May to September and must be booked through BC Parks’ Discover Camping website.
  2. If visiting on weekends or holidays (Canada Day, BC Day, or Labour Day) you’ll want to secure a spot as far in advance of your trip as possible.
  3. Over 35 sites are first-come, first-served. You might be able to score one, especially mid-week, if you show up right after check-out time at 11am.

When to go

Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park is open for campers from mid-May to September 30. If you are looking for a quieter experience, weekdays when schools are in session (May, June, and September) will be less busy. The cold-water lake is warmest for swimming in August.

Know before you go

  • This rustic wilderness park has just basic services, so you’ll need to be self-sufficient.
  • Daily and hourly canoe rentals are available onsite, as is a boat launch and dock.
  • This is a popular area to explore by horseback, and tour outfitters are available in Pemberton.
  • None of the park’s toilets or campsites are wheelchair-accessible.
  • The closest towns with basic supplies are D’Arcy, 22 kilometres away, and Mt. Currie, 50 kilometres away.
