We loved staying at Lisa ´s place. Our children loved all the paths to find the cute fairy houses. Lisa also let us borrow a fire ring and a paddleboard, it was a perfect stay !

We loved camping at Poplar Grove! My husband and I stayed for 3 nights with our toddler and we all had a blast, from exploring the forest to seeing the beautiful sunflower field it was a very beautiful trip. We also particularly loved hearing the sheep baa'ing in the distance! Lisa was extremely accommodating and allowed us to check in an hour early when our GPS was inaccurate on our arrival time, she also lent us their propane firepit so we could still enjoy a fire while there was a fireban in the area. We will definitely be back next summer!

Such an amazing spot near bunch of fun beaches and minutes away from Coombs! We loved it, we were able to let our kids be kids and had amazing dance parties! This was our fourth annual Mom/Kids camping trip and we will definitely return next year!
Lisa was super helpful when we had an issue with our hose and very quick to reply. Hosts were extremely private and we felt completely alone in the woods! The site also has nice grass, perfect for kids!

Lovely private spot off a country road, surrounded by woods and farms. Lisa was very responsive and was able to accommodate our configuration— a large truck camper with a boat. Would definitely stay again!

This was a nice stay - site was spacious and grassy which the kids and our dog loved. The owners were communicative and accommodating- would definitely stay here again!
Wonderful place. Quiet and spacious site with excellent electrical hookup and even Wifi.Water was also available but I didn’t need it. Friendly accommodating hosts as well. I would give it 6 stars if I could but the more people who know about this gem the more difficult it will be to get a booking - such is life but the hosts deserve the praise

Beautiful area, private. Would definitely come back.
What a lovely, peaceful place to spend a few days reading and relaxing. Very private. A lot of work went into the enjoyable trail throughout the property.
The hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating! Apologized for the campfire ban and provided us with Propane fire ring, complete with marshmallows.
Loved it!

What a wonderful week in a lovely area of vancouver island. A quiet wonderful spot, a good book and warm weather... what more could one ask for unless it was a very helpful and accommodating host. Thanks Lisa for all your kindness.
Amazing spot! Peaceful relaxing and a great spot for the pups to roam through the trail!

Staying on Lisa's property felt like I was in my own little world. So much space to explore and relax in. I spent 3 hours in the middle of the woods, laying on a blanket and just staring up at the trees. It's such a great place to get away and reconnect with nature. Thank you Lisa for sharing your family's property with me for those 10 days. I will definitely return!!

Private, Peaceful Stay

We stayed here for a week at the end of February and really enjoyed the tranquility of this place. The campsite is very private and the fenced area makes it feel cozy and secure. Lisa is an incredibly accommodating host who genuinely wants guests to have a great stay and is always happy to help. We would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing stay.

A nice private spot! Far away from main roads that there was minimal noise, but still close to town
It was a beautiful spot! Thank you Lisa for the extra touches like the solar lights along the property, the bin of necessary items, the garbage bins and water. We wish we could have stayed longer and hope to be back
Someday!! M & G

Lisa was very communicative and helpful. Their set up is so handy and clear. They’ve put alot of effort into creating a great experience for their guests. They created a path through the woods which is ALOT of work to do. Along the paths are fairy abodes. There’s a lovely swing near the end which I found so relaxing.
The property is pretty well fenced and gated which was so great for the dogs. One of the very rare places that allows dogs off leash.
It was nice to sit in our little clearing and listen to the poplar leaves in the wind,… so relaxing!
We are newbies to this RV lifestyle. It was handy to have the power and water

Such a great quiet spot. Very private and well set up. We stayed for 10 days and were very comfortable. Everything you need except Sani dump which isn't that big a deal. Wifi is exceptional, and the rooster was a great way to wake up. lol. Nice trails to walk with the pooch. Highly recommend and would stay here again for sure. Lisa the host was very accommodating and communication was excellent. 5 stars
Beautiful, peaceful and relaxing, so enjoyable , can’t say enough about the grounds

The camp spot itself was perfect for us! A little spot far enough away from the road and far enough away from the home to feel like you're secluded. The little trail around the property is super cute, but not very stroller accessible. The dogs next to the trail bark a bit, but is great if your training your dog to not react! We had horses om the road on the way in which is also nice if your training your dogs! We enjoyed our stay immensely! Will book again soon!

Nice secluded spot with great amenities including wifi. Lisa was very responsive and accommodating. Would stay here again!
Lovely place to stay with a lot of privacy and great hosts! Easy to find with everything you need, electricity, water & even WiFi!
Place is great, has lots of potential and was looking forward to hiking the property the next morning. Unfortunately the barking dogs from afternoon to morning ruined the experience and was ready to leave at first chance.

This is one of my favourite spots, very calm and quiet. The wind in the poplar trees and the forest right there help to make this a comfortable place to rest. And only a short drive to port alberni.
