Fantastic spot for a really enjoyable peaceful stay. Christian has done fantastic work to build this little gem. Christian was also extremely attentive and helpful for our stay. I plan on staying here again.

Absolutely loved staying at the Forest Sanctuary. It is a beautifully designed campground, and we really appreciated the kitchen and dining area. Solar lights throughout the property were magical. Christian was really kind and went above and beyond to make our stay seamless and lovely.

We were lucky enough to be able to book the bell tent one night and the cabin another. Both were amazing! The bell tent is HUGE !
The entire site is super clean and quiet and we felt very safe the whole time. Christian is an absolutely amazing host, he answers questions quickly and I never felt like I was bothering him.
The kitchen is fully stocked with a BBQ and a Coleman stove AND PROPANE !! Outhouse is clean and doesn’t smell bad at all, shower setup was very cool. There’s a shed to store your cooler on and it has solar lights for when it’s dark.
Lots of places to tent with your own gear as well. We cannot wait to come back at the end of October *fingers crossed*

Staying at forest sanctuary has probably been one of the most memorable family trip we ever took.
Christian - no matter how much I can write about him, it would not be enough.
He has put in a lifetime of effort to make this space so beautiful. Ever since I made the booking, he was in contact with me and answered every single query and suggested so many great things to do.
We camped on a weekend when it rained the most in a 100 years ( 15th August 2025) but that did not dampen our trip at all.
Christian was out there, helping us put tarps and cover our canopy and ensured that we and our space remain absolutely dry. He went over and beyond every single day to come and help us out with anything we needed.
We stayed at the Bell tent which was stunning. It can easily accommodate up to 8 people.
We were 2 adults 1 youth and 2 kids and had all the space to walk around the tent even after placing all our bags and air mattresses.
The solar string lights all over the campsite are magical. The communal kitchen was clean and every single utensil, cooking equipment was available for use.
Christian gave us a tour of the campsite as soon as we reached and ensured we were comfortable and helped us settle quickly.
He set up the firepit at night, sat with us and other guests and we all enjoyed conversations and lots of smores.
My kids and us have fallen in love with the forest sanctuary and will surely be coming again soon.
Thank you Christian for everything you did for us.

We had a wonderful stay! 😊
Christian is such a gracious host, and the property itself is beautiful with excellent amenities. We especially enjoyed sitting around the fire pit—it was well set up with starter materials and stumps for seating.
The covered kitchen and common area were very convenient. We cooked dinner on the BBQ, washed our dishes, and refilled our water bottles easily. Our site was close to this area but tucked just around the corner, giving us both convenience and privacy. There was plenty of room for our two vehicles and two tents, with space to spare.
The composting toilet was nearby and thoughtfully set up—good airflow made it much more pleasant than a regular outhouse, and the handwashing station was a nice touch. While we didn’t use the solar showers, it was great to know they were available.
This was a last-minute trip for us, and we were so pleased to find such a lovely place. Thank you, Christian!

Our stay on Christian's land was wonderful. We had a large group staying on the property and it was a beautiful and spacious place to stay. The kids had tons of fun running around the property, playing in the pond and on the field. We appreciated the kitchen facilities, which made things easy when making quick meals. Christian was warm and welcoming. We were sad to leave and would all love to come back one day.

Forest Sanctuary was awesome! Christian was a great host and has created an amazing space; incredibly peaceful and very well appointed. We really enjoyed our time on the Sunshine Coast and staying at the Forest Sanctuary was a big part of this. 100% recommend and if we do come back to this part of Canada, we would most definitely stay again.

Loved the forest sanctuary!! Will be coming back. The property is so peaceful and healing and the communal spaces allow for a really lovely atmosphere to meet the other people staying. Took a night stroll through the forest with all the solar garden lights - so magical.
Christian was so awesome and all the attention to details/amenities available are well thought out. Don’t overthink just book it!

A magical and serene place to stay. Christian has created a wonderland in the middle of the forest: it's almost like a fairy glen or a corner of Rivendell from Lord of the Rings. The outdoor kitchen is very well equipped; you really don't need to bring any of your own cooking equipment, which is a refreshing bonus for campers. In fact, he has really thought of every little detail: from the fairy lights to illuminate your way in the dark, to solar showers, to an outhouse with a fabulous view of the forest. If you're used to camping in BC parks campgrounds, you may appreciate the total absence of noisy neighbours. The only sound was from the wildlife with whom we shared this space. I loved it.

We love love loved our stay at the forest sanctuary. Christian has landscaped and curated a magical space. His love of the space is evident. Walking barefoot on the moss, sharing s'mores at a communal fire and appreciating the well stocked kitchen, being beckoned into the woods after dark by magical fairy lights... What a delightful time my daughter and I shared here. Great memories. We will return ❤️❤️❤️

Christian, you have a beautiful forest sanctuary. We could see all the love you have put into your campsite. Even though the weather was rainy we still managed to get in a beautiful hike in the forest. Christian was very helpful and kind.

I camped in many places, but I’ve never camped in a place quite like this! From the time that I met Christian, he was so welcoming and warm and took the extra time to show me the land he has so lovingly curated for people like me, looking for a sanctuary from everyday life. To say that he went above and beyond to make my experience a memorable one from the start is an understatement! This time of the year, I was the only person camping, but I felt so completely at home and surrounded by such amazing forest and land. The location is great, if you’re looking for wonderful places to eat in either direction, as well as being really close to water. Christian is also taking the time to put together a list of places to eat, things to go do, places to go hike, etc. I wish I could have stayed another day or so, but I will be back! My drive to get to the destination was 2000 miles and included a ferry, and I wouldn’t change it for a thing. It was such an adventure, I can’t wait to be back!

Forest Sanctuary
This is a book without hesitation kind of experience. We had an amazing time at Christian’s piece of the forest with our three year old daughter. Christian is very kind and hospitable and went above and beyond what’s necessary to help us out and make sure we had a good stay. We will definitely be repeat visitors. The campsite itself is incredibly thought through and comfortable - grassy or sandy camp sites, a clean outhouse, a forest shower, a kitchen in the middle of the forest and more stars than we have seen in a very long time.

Christian was a wonderful host! The property is beautiful and the amenities perfect. We were super close to the mountain bike trails and it was close to town. Our toddler had a great time in the pond and running around the soft grass.

Forest Sanctuary
Christian's campground is a testament to the effort and care that has gone into creating a truly unique place. It's incredible to see how he's transformed a forest into a peaceful retreat. What I love most is the chance to reconnect with nature—no electricity, and water drawn from a well. The communal kitchen is a fantastic idea; we made wonderful friends with another family there. The kids especially enjoyed the pond. While the concept of showering in the woods is interesting, an enclosed option would be appreciated for those who prefer more privacy. Christian was incredibly helpful and patient, always ready to answer my numerous questions. If we ever ran out of anything or needed assistance, he was right there to help. We had a great time sitting by the firepit with Christian and the other campers, which was an experience in itself.

Christian was kind and accomodated our group of 3 last minute. Everything went well and the forest sanctuary is spectacular. Christian was clear and communicative and provided great recomendations. We particularly enjoyed the ability to access the B&K mountain bike trails directly from the property. Thanks for everything!

Our camping time at Forest Sanctuary was amazing and we had a wonderful time. It is a beautiful, quiet and well maintained, manicured and managed site. Christian, our host replied promptly to all of our questions and was super accommodating, as we booked very last minute. We will definitely return to this hidden gem, for the next years to come. Thanks for everything Christian!

We had a wonderful experience camping on Christian’s land for over a week.
It’s a beautiful property ideally situated for exploring the amazing mountain bike trails in the area and a magical place to spend time. Evening bonfires with other guests, walking around barefoot on the grass, and exploring the beautiful rocks and pond with my daughters were highlights.
Christian was a gracious host with excellent and clear communication who went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We’re already talking about coming back next year.

Forest Sanctuary
Christian’s Forest Sanctuary is a well-maintained campsite featuring excellent kitchen facilities, a food storage area, a lot of comfortable grassy areas, a small pond, and charming bathroom and shower facilities. You can see Christian’s love and care for the land everywhere you look. Sunshine Coast is already a fantastic destination, and staying here for a night or two is a reasonably priced way to reconnect with nature. (P.S. The mosquitoes in July can be pretty aggressive, but that's all part of the camping experience.)

Our weekend at Forest Sanctuary was the best of tent camping without the drawbacks. Big beautiful grassy site, mix of sun and shade, lots of places to sit, and wildlife sightings galore! The kitchen, outhouse, and solar showers take it to the next level, making it easy to cook and wash up. Christian was a terrific host and gave us lots of ideas for activities in the area.
