What a great spot! So quiet and peaceful! The space that Cory and Trish have created Isa little piece of paradise ❤️ They have everything you could need for a comfortable stay. They even have a cute little tea house. The eagles and rabbits were a sweet treat. We will definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful few days at Cory & Trish's great Hipcamp. The site itself is spacious, spotless, serene and situated next to excellent toilet facilities.
The location is perfect for a few days exploration, especially by bike. We cycled a few kilometres each day and got to Rathtrevor Beach and Moorecroft Regional Park for perfect beach views and walks. There's no shortage of great pubs and cafés again, all within a few feet (The Rocking Horse Pub - next door.....but NOT in a "uh oh this'll be noisy" next door way. We never heard anything - except from inside when England won their FIFA match and we were there watching) to a few kilometres. Highly recommend Rusted Rake for craft brewing and food, Rocking Horse for food, atmosphere, garden and Nanoose Bay Café for Marina views and food.
Treat yourself to a perfect few days of R&R here - it truly is an excellent spot and a great value.

Cory was super friendly and welcoming. Our campsite was huge and level and I appreciated having access to a flush toilet. It was nice being so close to the Rocking Horse Pub.

Such a great place to stay! We ended up staying both nights in Cory's big field (rather than moving to our designated site) and it was great for our dogs to run around and be free-range pups. The little store at Wild Coast is sweet, too. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to others. Cory is the best type of host- there if you need something but really hands off and low key. 5 stars!!

We had another wonderful stay at the Wild Coast Parksville Hipcamp. The hosts are both so friendly and accommodating. The availability of power and water for our RV, and the proximity to all the local sights and shops makes it an ideal place to stay. We will continue to stay at this wonderful Hipcamp in the future when we want to do some shopping and sightseeing in the Parksville area.

Cory's space was great! This was our first Hipcamp experience and I'm glad it was here. Cory's communication and information were really helpful, and the nearby pub was a welcome stop in the evening. The washroom was clean and the bunnies around the land gave our dog something to look at while we were there. Would recommend for sure

Site 2 - Grassy Field Site
The grassy field was very spacious with lots of room for our set up and our dog
There is a nearby trail network that we made good use of with our bikes and then enjoyed the Pub right next door
It’s a peaceful oasis in a country setting
The owners are on site if you need them, but they leave you alone if you don’t
The house is close by , but you don’t really feel like your in their front lawn because it’s so open and nicely landscaped

Great property with two spacious, quiet, well-separated spots. Having electrical outlets right at the site was convenient, and the nearby flush toilet was clean and easily accessible. Definitely recommend staying here.

We had terrible weather the night we stayed and the owners were super hospitable. They let us use the shop front to keep dry and warm which was greatly appreciated.

This site was just what we needed for a bit of a break before catching the Nanaimo ferry (30 min away).
Cory and Trish were very quick to respond to any questions, including the whereabouts of a local dog friendly beach. The bathroom for the camp sites was beyond expectations. And of course, The Rocking Horse Pub just down the road is really such a perc.

The site is huge! Nice and flat, potable water and power hook-ups. Trash, compost and recycling at the site. Flush toilet and sink very close to site. Hosts are very friendly and relaxed, ensuring guests enjoy their stay while allowing privacy. The site and bathroom was very clean. The field for our dog to run off-leash was a wonderful treat and Teddy had a blast! The area is quiet with beautiful star gazing at night. Lots to see and do, great hiking and swim spots close by. We enjoyed our stay very much! Absolutely recommend !

Excellent spot to camp!! Nice and private with trees on one side. Cory met us when we arrived and made sure that we knew where everything was. Water, electricity, table and even a flush toilet were all provided. A local pub down the street was an added bonus. Highly recommend this Hipcamp and we will definitely stay here again when we are on the island.

We spent one night at Cory’s white fence site and thoroughly enjoyed it! Washroom was clean and easy to access. They had electricity conveniently at the site. We were welcomed warmly by the hosts friends. Close to the ferry and food locations…Would recommend this Hipcamp!

The site was so spacious.The bathroom was super cute and it's so quiet with only one other campsite. The wild rabbits and the horse farm and bar right beside us, that was really cool. We enjoyed spending six here and doing day trips. Fell in love with parksville, we will camp here again.

Cory and his spouse were so nice with us! She welcomed us when we arrived at informing us of the different options where we could park! The site was great, a lot of small animals (lots of rabbits) and we heard an owl in the morning!!! Truly great!!! We had water, electricity, a garbage and recycling bins!

Loved our stay at this spot - super central to all the beautiful beaches and trails mid-island, great food close by and friendly accommodating hosts. Bathroom was lovely and our pups really enjoyed being off leash. We hope to return soon!
