A magical experience awaits you on the majestic Sunshine Coast of British Columbia near the Village of Egmont. Nestle into our modern rustic cabins or set up camp beneath the towering evergreens. We, your hosts, and our yard-full of farm friends live just up the hill, but we sneak out often to welcome our guests. Strongwater Camping and Cabins offers bookings year-round. Choose from our 8 rustic cabins or 8 large campsites to accommodate your next relaxing get-away or refreshing retreat. Bookings are usually a 2-night minimum. 1-night may be available at the discretion of the Hosts. New to our accommodations are the SkookumBus and a Glamping Tent (summer only)! Our hand-built cabins provide a simply magical experience, with warm, comfy beds and bedside table, a fan for summer or a heater for winter. Nearly every cabin features a small table and chairs and a mini-fridge plus an outdoor fire pit and a picnic table. The cabins’ decks are surrounded by forest. Firewood is available for $30/wheelbarrow on site when available (unless we have a fire ban.) All campsites include the fire pit and picnic table. Everyone has easy access to the spa-like washrooms with coin-operated hot showers and flush toilets. Children 8 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult in the Wash house. There’s a dish washing station in the center of the Wash House where you can refill your water jugs and bottles or wash dishes. Please do not use for washing hair or laundry or tooth brushing. We ask that you conserve water and keep the Wash House clean. If a peaceful experience is what you seek, enjoy the restful, soothing atmosphere of the forest. Learn to really appreciate the simple things in life. Take in the mountain, ocean, and lake scenery. Fishing, canoeing, or just lying on a beach. Sitting on the deck of your cozy cabin, reading a book or soaking in the magic. If you are a thrill-seeker, then adventure awaits on the turbulent waters of Skookumchuk Narrows, the rapids for which our magical place is named. Skookumchuk is an old Chinook word meaning Strong Waters. There’s a timetable for you to consult to catch the tides at the best times. Follow the link below. Hit some rigorous trails on your mountain bike, hike through forests, up mountains, or at oceanside. Take a wild ride to untouched wilderness with our neighbouring Adventure Boat Tours.

Cabin · Sleeps 2 · 1 bed
The Fairy Cabin (#4) is a popular one for its seclusion and tranquility. A quiet spot to watch for the wee folk. This quiet cabin faces into the forest and away from the other cabins and campsites. A great place for two people to build or strengthen a relationship. Step up onto the deck using the rock in front. The deck faces the trees, the fire pit and picnic table. This is a private site that calls to the heart that seeks the soothing greens of the forest and the dancing of the fairies. Relax in the chairs and meditate on the beauty of nature or find the hammock and view the sky through the leaves of the trees. Quiet and cozy in a king-size bed or two twin beds with bedside tables and lamps. The cotton sheets and warm comforter give you the impression of a luxury hotel. A small table and chairs, an electric kettle, and a mini-fridge make this rustic bit of paradise comfortable and convenient. A fan for summer and a heater for winter, makes this a lovely spot for respite any time of year.

Cabin · Sleeps 2 · 1 bedroom · 1 bed
Cabin 2 is a Tree House is set back in the forest providing privacy and solitude. The natural rock staircase is rugged, but the view from the deck is green, soothing and well worth it. The rock steps are steep and uneven, naturally fitting in with the ivy and moss growing parallel to the path. Such a serene view awaits on the balcony. You can also look down on the picnic table and fire pit that are part of this lovely site. Inside the queen-size bed, cotton sheets and warm comforter are very restorative. Large windows and double doors allow in lots of light. A mini-fridge, electric kettle, and small table and chairs are the furnishings within the cabin. A fan for cooling in summer and a heater to warm you in winter provide you with a comfortable temperature.

The deck is furnished with two chairs and an umbrella-covered table plus two Adirondack chairs that face into the forest. Completely secluded and peaceful. A queen-size bed dressed in cotton sheets and a warm comforter, as sumptuous as any hotel room. The large peaked windows offer so much light into the room.

Cabin 3 "Heaven"

83%
(3)
Cabin · Sleeps 4 · 1 bed
Cabin 3 was named “Heaven” by one of our guests and we agree. It is a private cabin on a beautiful serene site with heavenly views of the forest. The soft outdoor lighting at night is peaceful and romantic. This cabin sits up from the road through the campground and is the closest to the Wash House in a group of three. Such a lovely perch! Just step up from the rock in front onto the deck or take the stairs on the side. Two deck chairs and a coffee table offer a place to relax on the deck. A fire pit and picnic table are off to the side. The interior is homey and inviting. A king-size bed can be split into two twins. The cabin contains bedside tables, lamps, a small table with chairs, an electric kettle to make coffee or tea, and a mini-fridge. This is our largest cabin. It can be set up with a couple of additional cots or sleeping bags on the floor. A fan keeps you cool in summer while a heater cozies the cabin in winter.

Cabin 6 - A Small Treasure

100%
(3)
Cabin · Sleeps 2 · 1 bed
Cabin 6 is our small treasure. A small quaint cabin with a Dutch-door. Three steps up to the deck that features a charming little bench looking out on the campground and from which you can usually see the farm menagerie out and about. The Paddle Shack is next to Cabin Six and beyond that is the farm with all its free-range ducks, chickens, and of course, Jellybean the Hog and Penelope and Walter, the geese. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the farm instead of the traffic, horns and sirens of the city. So peaceful… You have a captivating fire bowl and a rustic spool table and chairs by the deck. This cabin is quiet and dark, unless you open up the window shades and the top of the door making it cool in summer. You’ll have a mini-fridge, an electric kettle, bedside tables and lamps. A slightly smaller cozy cabin, the table and chairs are on the outside. Look over the maps of the area on the wall!

Cabin 5 - "Lightning"

100%
(1)
Cabin · Sleeps 2 · 1 bed
Cabin 5 was named “Lightning” when lightning actually struck close by. Now calm and peaceful, it is a quaint and cozy place to enjoy the forest. The “Lightning Cabin” is open to Campsites 10 and 11 so groups can be together. The covered deck with two chairs and a small table would be a great place to meet for morning coffee. After dark, the cabins are well-lit with fairy lights. Such a peaceful place to sit outside in the daylight or after dark. Bring your own campstove or BBQ and set up at the picnic table. Strongwater is where rustic and elegant meet. You can request two twin beds or one king-size to get your rest after a day of outdoor adventure. Keep food & drinks in the mini-fridge. Heat water for tea or coffee. The small table and chair set a nice little nook for eating indoors or reading or doing a little work on your laptop.

    We loved staying at Strong Water cabin. It is a beautiful and quiet place, and we had a great time there. The communal areas were clean and very well maintained. Since it is a basic cabin, you will need to bring your own utensils and a camping stove if you plan to cook. Keep in mind that to use the shower, you need a loonie for 5 minutes of hot water (they even left us $4 to get started!). I actually loved that system. Skookumchuck narrows are ~5km away from that camp. It is easy trail, though it is not accessible for wheelchairs or strollers

    Great little cabin! Very comfortable bed, and really fun little campsite with one of the better sanitary blocs we've experienced. Very easy to go on little walks to the marina, the Skoombus, the bakery, etc. Would have stayed longer if we could.

    Cheyenne's campground and cabins is everything I would have hoped for: comfortable, beautiful, bohemian, poetic and friendly. Cheyenne is an amazing host and she will go out of her way to help you and make you feel welcome. My husband and I ended up staying in the new Loft 1, above what will be a yoga studio soon. The bed was very comfortable and we had a fridge to put our food in and a little table and chairs. We woke up at the sound of roosters, which was very cool. They do go a little crazy and start early but this was a plus for me, I like roosters. The little farm hosts a variety of creatures: 2 poneys, hens, ducks, geese and a wild goose who decided to stay. The bathrooms and showers are impecable and there is a very convenient dish-washing station Everything you need is available. In short, I would highly recommend staying with Cheyenne if you love animals and nature, but also your worldly comforts.
