Pets can be off-lead at some pitches.
birkenfoodforest a perpetually unfinished art project in co creation with the beings that dwell and visit here along with sweet Mother Earth. Situated within St'at'imc Nation Traditional Territory. On an alluvial fan supporting a wide spectrum of diversity in the transition zone leaving coastal mountain rain forest, on the edge of semi arid. Bordered on the East by the flowing waters of Lakshmi. To the South, historical Portage road and Mars Xing, my neighbours dovetail log cabin, dated 1859 was once known as Johnnies RoadHouse. To the West the flowing waters of Saraswati and beyond the "Labyrinth" of bluffs known as Juniper Ridge rises to the alpine. To the North primary old growth forest housing a web of game trails connecting Birkenhead lake Provincial Park. This land was horse logged in the 50's, a few elder mother trees remain standing. There are many zones and edges. Including eighty year old Douglas Fir, Cedar, Douglas and Vine Maple,Maturing Cherry orchards, thickets of shrubs and herbaceous ones offering flowers and berries to the many birds and bees.In more recent years there has been much terrace work done offering meadows and forested camp spots, along with continued cultivation of perennial and annual foods and medicinals.

HeartCenter

Booked 3 times
Tent site · Sleeps 7
HeartCenter is one of my favourite spaces! centrally located with easy access just off the the central mainline, which rises directly up from the gate. HeartCenter is on your right as you climb the hill just above the hoop house shop and below the cross road. Quite private considering her central location, as she is nestled in with the land and trees, with a Beautiful view of the Peaks and ridge line above the Eight Mile watershed and the main garden close by.

Located in the South western sector receiving first light and first shade. Staff Camp is approximately 1 acre. Surrounding My summer camp and outdoor kitchen area. Covering a wide spectrum of camping needs and styles. some spots are more private than others, some close to infrastructure in various forms of regeneration, some suited for an overnight RV stop over, some car and tent. Others are a stroll through the forest to find a nice spot by the babbling brook beside an erratic boulder..... depending on timing there may be amenities available such as electricity, refrigeration, shared kitchen , there are 3 separate sink and counter in close proximity. There is the Possibility of communal Fire which will likely evolve into a Bio Char harvesting demonstration. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. Surcharges may apply.

The place looked like a run down old home stead. Tons of run down cars and junk in the yard. Not a privet little meadow as pictured. We left as soon as we woke up.

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.

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.

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.

The host was nice and campsite was good with lots of space. Pit toilets were very clean. Good location if you want to access Gates Lake, Anderson Lake or Birkenhead Lake. There are people who live permanently on this property is various outbuildings and trailers. Some must have dogs because there were multiple that barked on and off at each other through the night. I’d recommend to the host to bring those dogs inside so you don’t disturb campers sleep.
