Paul's spot was perfect for our quick overnight stay. We arrived in the evening and headed out early the next morning, but we were fortunate to meet Paul. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We loved walking down to the nearby beach that evening and again the next morning before heading home.

Nice and quiet, with deer walking meters from the RV. There’s only water and electricity. Ideal for one night to catch the early Ferry.

Very nice host! Paul was pleasant to talk with! He gave us good advise for our travel to Tofino. Space felt very private, even though right in their front yard. Tressel with beautiful wisteria bush provides a nice separation. Dogwood tree was in bloom when we were there. Very short walk to beach with a bench to sit on. My mobility-challenged husband handled the walk just fine. Took him about 7 minutes. Eagles were at beach when we were there! Get the Seafood Chowder at the Rusted Rake Brewery (only 2km away)!!! Would return!

We had a wonderful evening. Quiet location with a short walk to a fascinating beach. The host was super friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Thank you. Cell coverage is weak here, 1 bar of 5G, so download what you need before you arrive for the evening; calls are still fine.

Paul was communicative and hospitable. The camp area was spacious and was perfect for our stay. Coffee on the beach close by was lovely. A great place to stay!

Nice flat quite large parking space. I have a truck camper and with the stairs open at the back I need 27 feet, and I had them.
Very quiet place with a beach at 3 minutes walk.
Paul is a very friendly man.

We absolutely loved our stay at Paul’s! He and his wife were so accommodating, kind, and generous. Our kids had a blast meeting the chickens, and we really appreciated the fresh vegetables they shared with us. The property backs right up to a beautiful beach that you can walk to directly from the site — such a unique and special setting. We can’t recommend this spot enough. Thank you so much for an unforgettable stay!

Paul and his wife are generous hosts. The camping spot is quiet and only a short walk from a beautiful beach in the bay. Amenities like tennis or pickle ball courts are only a 5 min drive away. We loved being able to buy the freshest eggs at a great price and appreciated some seasonal gifts from the vegetable garden.

Paul and his wife were very friendly and accommodating with their camping spot so close to the ocean, it's literally a 2-3 minute walk, down a easy trail to the water. The neighbourhood is clean and quiet. While you are camped directly in front of their home, separated by their front lawn, they have a partial trellis up with vines growing on it, and they keep their blinds drawn in the house and respect your privacy. You tend to forget they are even there :) The lot is flat with lots of room. Would stay here again ! Thanks Paul.

It was a lovely spot. Very quiet with a stone throw away from the ocean. Which by the way my grandson & friend went for a swim over to the swim platform. We all had e-bikes and went to the provincial park. Both host met us upon arrival ( which was late 7:30 pm)at got us hooked up and told us what was in the area. Thanks again from the 3 of us.

Paul and his wife were amazing hosts. They went above and beyond in every way and helped accommodate us really last minute. They had great tips on places to check out things to do for us and our kids. They had chickens and so we bought fresh eggs for our trip, which were amazing. I would highly recommend staying here. Super close walk to the beach with great views.

They are wonderful people and told me all about the local area.. which I did not have time to check it all out.
Plan for a couple of nights if you can. I will be back when I have more time to stay on the Islands.
Thank you Paul

What a lovely quiet place. It was a quick walk to the bay. The owners were extremely easy to communicate with prior to my stay and during the stay as well.
Having electric and water was a bonus.
I would stay here again.
If you have a moment visit the very pampered chickens.
