This scenic campsite offers a spectacular view of the mountains and river valley, which many campers found to be a highlight of their stay. Located close to Smithers, it's a convenient spot with easy access to town amenities. While some noted the proximity to the highway might bring some traffic noise, the beauty of the surroundings and the friendly cows often made up for it. The host, Stephen, is appreciated for his responsiveness and thoughtful touches like providing firewood.

This was a great place to spend my first ever Hipcamp night. Great views of the mountains and river valley and the farm. I enjoyed the view sitting on the wooden bench sipping my morning coffee. My dog enjoyed the cows!
The camp spot is not very far from the highway but I did not hear traffic during the night.
Great place. I’d stay there again

The cmpsite was easy to find and is as described - including its great view of the mountains and river valley! Conveniently close to Smithers. Toilet was new and super clean. We enjoyed a pleasant evening walk along the valley ridge. Thanks!

Great stay in a beautiful spot! Site was clean and very spacious with a wonderful view of the mountains. We rode bikes into town on the bike path and it was a short, easy ride. Would definitely recommend!

Great place to stop right off the highway. Stephen was quick and clear with communications and very accommodating. It was the middle of winter and our stay was brief, so we didn't get to enjoy the full extent of the space but it was well taken care of and easy to access with our large rig . We definitely appreciated it!
A fabulous, beautiful, convenient spot with a gorgeous view and vibe. Thoughtful host. Will return!

This was such a peaceful & memorable stay! The site felt wonderfully private with stunning mountain views that shifted beautifully as the dramatic fog rolled in & out. The highlight was the friendly cows who wandered over to visit & explore my rig & cats! The host was very communicative & provided clear, easy-to-follow directions. Highly recommend :)
What an amazing view from this place. Loved the tranquility. Situated Just of a paved bicycle path that will take you into Smithers only 5km.
What an amazing view…every time I looked towards the mountains I took another picture. Flat and easy to park our travel trailer. Especially loved the visit from the cows in the morning ❤️ Stephen our host was responsive and helpful when we had questions- thanks for sharing your space!

I would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone looking! Not only did it have beautiful views but town is only a few minutes away! It was definitely a win/ win. Stephen also took a moment to check in with us to ensure that everything was fine :)

Hug’s Farm was a nice safe quiet spot to stop for the night. Great for any type of equipment.
Really nice spot - great views. Rustic yet not to far from a couple Mostly-out-of-sight residences and a short drive into a decent town for shopping and dinner. Glad we had our truck for getting up the rocky road to the campsite. Were visited about 11 pm by a small group of beautiful cows and calves who woke us up with the swishing of their tales against our trailer and the sound of their tongues licking our vehicles. Would have loved to stay longer!

I had some last minute change of plans and had to cancel very late. Stephen has common sense and is reasonable and gave me a full refund! Too bad I couldn't go. Maybe next time.

We had a great time at Stephen's campsite! Super conveniently located, about 5-10 min from town with a new bike/walking path that runs right by the driveway but protected from the road and feels blissfully private. The site itself has loads of flat space, whether you have large RV's, groups or want a flat tent site nestled in the trees overlooking the valley. We parked our 2WD van on a level right above the main fire and eating area, with prime views of the farm, river, valley, and mountains. The land has been in the family since 1937 and is still used as an organic vegetable farm and for raising cattle (the curious cows weren't free roaming when we were there unfortunately!). Stephen goes above and beyond, giving us great recommendations for things to do in the area and providing firewood, a hatchet, shovel, in addition to the fire pit with grill, picnic table and log seating. Make sure you take time to get up early to catch the sunrise, or stay up late to watch the sunset as they are spectacular.

The site has an amazing view of the snow clad mountains and had a lovely grassy tent site with picnic table. However it wasn't as private as we had hoped. It is very close to the highway and industrial farms so there is constant vehicle noise.

It was a beautiful place to stay! Very conveniently located off the highway. It was stocked with chopped firewood, shovel, and a picnic table.
I've always wanted to visit northern BC and Stephen's campsite looked like the perfect place to stay. I was not dissapointed. The campsite faces one of the most incredible views of any campsite I've rented via Hipcamp: a gobsmackingly beautiful mountain range with the Bulkley river flowing through it. Stephen was the perfect host - easy to reach and very attentive and accommodating. I could not have had a better experience. It truly was wonderful finding such a great place in a region that is, for many, off the beaten track. In fact, Smithers is quite the destination for anyone looking for interesting things to do (see the Twin Falls!), beautiful places to hike and explore, and an environment that one can just kick back and relax in. The town of Smithers is quite a jewel of a town, with facilities and required services. I highly recommend this campsite. One thing to keep in mind is that the main campsite is close to a main road, so there was some traffic noise. However, this didn't bother me at all and I found the spot quite peaceful and slept well the entire trip (I'm a tent camper). (Stephen would have let me stay in other locations on his land that were farther from the road, but my camp setup required the additional space that was closer to the road).
Great view of a farm valley below. It also had enough open space so mosquitoes weren’t a problem. I liked that he provided firewood. Real nice guy.

We had a great time staying at the site! It has lots of space and has an amazing view! Stephen and his wife were very friendly, and we were visited by the very curious and friendly cows!
Stunning views of the mountains and river, excellent location/easy to find. Stephen (the host) was very friendly and helpful, made our first hipcamp stay easy and comfortable. The site is relatively close to the main road but still felt private, the noise from trucks kept us up a bit but we were tired and slept well. We will definitely be back to Smithers, what a gem of a town.
Awesome view, quiet space. Highly recommend!
