Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Best RV/van spots: 1st place
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
Please note: we only accommodate RV's, no tents or roof top tents. You need to be fully self contained as there are no bathroom facilities and no nature pees! We are situated on 2 private acres completely surrounded by Elk Lake Regional Park. There are 3 generations of family living here as well as 2 dogs, a one-eyed cat, and chickens! Our campsite is in a beautiful location situated 20 minutes from the Swartz Bay Ferry terminal and downtown Victoria. Access to great hiking just out your door at Elk Lake Regional Park (a 5 min walk to the beach for a swim, paddle, or fish at the nearby fishing dock) and Bear Hill Regional Park (20 min hike through fir and arbutus trees with beautiful views of the peninsula from the top). 10 minutes to Butchart gardens, with Butterfly Garden on the way. Ideal spot for campers looking to stay 1-2 nights. Great as a stopover to Tofino. Perfect for couples or groups of two, with a maximum of 4 campers. There are many wonderful farms and stands, wineries, coffee shops, and restaurants close by. Your site is a semi-private flat gravel area surrounded by fir trees. Easy access and plenty of turnaround room.

It was a very nicely set up space, easy access! A little traffic noise but calmed down after 8!

Exactly as advertised. Great location. Very small site with no table but a couple of chairs. Rural road noise but dies off for bedtime so no issue sleeping. A great (small) base camp for RV to go explore surrounding area. Nice to be able to walk to Elk Lake. Suited me perfectly for what I needed. Thanks Jody.

Jodi had built a small fence and decorated it with lights and two wicker chairs. Delightful. The site is right on a multiuser trail along Elk lake. so cycling was convenient. Also great. The only downside was the traffic on Brookleigh as it’s obviously used as a shortcut to the Highway All in all a good place to stay. Thanks
